After twelve long years . make the most of our last one together OUR last year is here and we have so many memories to take with us when we leave. Memories of time we spent together, places we went and things we did...some for the last time. Like the Home- coming pep fest. It was to be our last Homecoming and the spirit of it seemed to affect us all. Our class had not exactly been known for our vocal spirit during those pep fests, but we showed them. For the first time in years a jubilant class of '77 walked away with the spirit jug. A walk down the hall before or after school or during noon hour revealed seniors reliving old times, making memories, and planning for the future. We did our best to make use of our last year together. Jodie Boelman Kristine Birdsey Pamela Bentson Debra Bentson David Bendt Michael Baustian Brenda Barth Jay Baker Susan Bailey Lisa Anderson

SMILING is contagious when you are around Keiko Matsu- naga-the 1976-77 foreign ex- change student from Japan. Kay is living with the Ron- ald Munns family and has as- similated many of the Amer- ican ways of life. She is active in church groups, sings in the concert choir, and attends many of the school athletic events. Her favorite is football. Kay likes attending our co- ed school better than her school inNikko, Japan which has an all girl enrollment. Another difference Kay en- counters is in the class- room. She feels the teach- ers are more friendly and helpful, and that the class- es are general ly more infor- mal . Kay gladly shares all she knows about Japan and is ea- ger to learn more about Amer- ica. Because her visit is less than a year, she is try- ing to take in as much as possible. She reasons that she will be in Japan for a long time-so she would much rather eat American things while the opportunity is here. Yet Kay has a certain pride in Japan that she shares openly and that can never be lost. Part of Kay's Americanization includes soft drinks like 7-UP. The Ronald Munns' are Kay's host family. Left to right: Mrs. Munns, Rhonda, Kay Matsunaga, Nancy and Mr. Munns. East meets West at LHS Above: Kay tells of her homeland to Mr. and Mrs. Erling Toftland. They were vis- itors at a reception put on by the Student Council to introduce Kay to the community. 26 AFS
