1. In her French class. Ana Mico studies the personalities and habits of her fellow American students. E.H.S.: Home Away From Home The voice of a stewardess is heard from the microphone: All passengers, we have now arrived to the destination as planned . . . We are now in the Unit- ed States of America. Passenger after passenger flow out of the airplane like a slow-mov- ing river. Passengers like foreign exchange students. They feel the air fall upon their face and over- look the chaos of the airport scene. Specifically, the airport scene of Los Angeles. Each year a variety of foreign students make their way on to the American soil. The students be- come anxious as they leave their homeland and venture into this new land of America. Jose Jover, Mia Perup, and Ana Mico are this year ' s foreign exchange students. Jose Jover is from the land rich in Spanish culture: Madrid, SpainI As a Senior at Estancia High School, Jose came to America to learn the English language for a future career. Jose lives with his parents in Madrid and has one sis- ter, Marina. Soccer, tennis, and the sport on the snow, skiing, are all activities Jose enjoys most. And the activities here at Estancia are a novelty and of much interest to Jose Jover. Mia Perup ' s home country is the beautiful Sweden. She lives in the medium-sized city of Lund. As a Senior this year Mia said, School is harder here, but she continues to work hard. She also worked hard at playing baseball. Baseball was a newly discovered sport to Mia. In order to ensure a hit, Mia was given an oversized baseball that could surely be seen from a distancel And the long distance between her and her family will come to an end along with the school year; she plans to be united with her father, mother, brother, and sister in June. Ana Mico is a bright young wom- an from Valencia, Spain. In Spain, Ana lived with her mother, father, and three brothers who all lived in a condominium. I wanted to come to famous California. Spain was getting boring. I wanted to do something new, said Ana. Ana is a senior this year and is looking forward to graduation. She is ex- cited to wear the cap and gown, for in Spain, she said, they don ' t have them I To Jose Jover, Mia Perup, and Ana Mico, Estancia High School hopes your stay at Estancia and in America has been fun, exciting, and filled with pleasurable memo- ries. May America be your second home and always have room for all of you in its melting pot. Exchang ' :

Life ' s A Beach I Your skin is baking under burning rays from the sun, persiration beads on your brow as your parched throat cries out for some wa- ter. On your left and right, miles and miles of sand stretch as far as the eye can see. You feel a slight breeze, and as you raise your head and slowly open your eyes you see, over the blinding white sand, a sparkling blue vision of relief greets your eyes. Are you seeing a mirage in the middle of some vast desert? Mol The vison is the Pacific Ocean and you are at the beach. The sun, the surf, the sand, these are the ele- ments of the coast, and the favorite part of the coast of Estancia students is 41st street at Mew- port Beach. Friends gather there during the sum- mer to go swimming, play smashball, volleyball, to watch people, and especially, to get the most coveted prize of all ... a TAM! For some the beach is an escape from the pressures of school, but to others, life ' s a beach!
