Someplace, Sometime The Gallop. That much-anticipated, highly publicized. unsurpassed fexcept maybe by the Promb. social event of the year!!! After weeks of planning by members of the Bronchoette Sunshine Society, Jeff's l977 Gallop finally became a reality on November ll As one of Jeff's new semi-formal dances of the year, the Gallop was a rather nice treat for all concerned. Former Levi addicts donned their Saturday night best. Evening wear ranged from Cliana gowns and tunics for girls, to three-piece suits and sports jackets for guys. Even the old, familiar, neon-lit cafeteria looked unlike its usual self, with around-the-world scenes, soft lights, a bandstand, and flowers. Instead of the usual mess hall tables, cloth-covered tables for two added to the romantic air of the evening. As many as 250 couples attended the dance, most arriving between 9:00 and 9:30, some later. Dancing, picture-taking, and conversation filled the next few hours. At ll:OO, Sunshine Society President Mary Jane Gerst crowned Jim Mayer Gallop King with a kiss. Mayer's court consisted of fellow seniors: Kent Broach, Phil Habig, Kevin Clark, Keith Reisinger, Jody Plant, Ed Cramer, and Russ Neilan. Next, the band, Chameleon, invited couples to dance once more by playing the obviously favorite slow music. The night to remember became just that, a memory, as the clock struck midnight. Yet, as the theme of the dance reminded students, they had all just been Someplace and had Sometime And only for seniors did l2:OO mark the last Gallop of all. For the others. there would always be next year. Upper right: Gallop King candidates, clockwise from back left: Kevin Clark. Kent Broach, Keith Reisinger, Ed Cramer, Jody Plant, Phil Habig.

round The World ln 365 Days Bunny Blair traveled to and stayed in Kayoto, Japan during the summer. One big difference she noticed between the Japanese and us Americans is that the Japanese show a great respect for each other. Other noticeable differences are Cal the people are more conservative, fbj teenagers are far more advanced in areas of math, engineering, and science, and Ccj the food is hard to get used to. She said she had a very difficult time eating raw fish, octopus, squid, and seaweed. While in Japan, she toured temples, and even did some diving for pearls. Bunny said she had a terrific time and hopes to return for many more visits. Michelle Bunting lived on a farm five miles outside of Holstebro, Denmark. She had three brothers and one sister, all of whom were around her age. Since the Danish are very family-oriented, Michelle spent the maiority of her time with her family. She said that the most common types of transportation were riding trains and riding bikes. She did much traveling around the country and visited many friends and relatives with her family. Michelle found Denmark to be a very beautiful country and would like to return someday to visit her family. 0 O O atzfg.. Another traveling Jeff student was Julie Mann. Julie lived in Tehran, Iran. Julie found Iran to be a very wonderful country to visit. The people of Iran were very friendly, and she found visiting to be a major part of their social culture. She said that the streets of Iran are lined with small handcraft shops and, although she enjoyed traveling throughout the country, her favorite passtime was shopping. But she said the best part of her trip was her family because they were so good to her. ' if l 1 A' f . . T ..,.,.-,4 E H . 9 ,I , I ,, V mf Tint' ,qdgmga l 5 L .

He spent quite a bit of time traveling around the country, and although the Colombian lifestyle is a little different from that of the U.S., he noticed that the country is becoming more and more Americanized with U.S.indus- tries. Charles enjoys traveling and would like to go back to Colombia someday, but right now he is looking forward to his next year of school-a year of study abroad. LKV5iL1Xb , 213
