PICTURE PERFECT - This mu- seum in Karlsruhe, Germany was a castle that was blown up during World War II and rebuilt. When Mi- chelle Beebe was asked about her favorite part of her trip, she replied, UI liked all of the old castles and Bavaria because of the beautiful fields and old farms.” Photo by Mrs. C.

PURIFICATION RITES — “Before we could see the Japanese shrine, we had to purify ourselves by rinsing our left and right hands,” commented Sandi Over- hiscr. “Then we had to rinse our mouths and spit the water back out.” Sandi and Cathy Haybach represented Marshall in our sister city, Koka-Cho, last sum- mer.

During the Spanish club’s trip, Ed Rowand got used to the bumpy, uncomfortable rides. “Visiting Spain was an unforget- table experience,” Ed remarked. “It was great ” Photo by Bryndis Letzring ---Travel Abroad— Students explore vast regions of the world While most of the students spent the summer in Marshall, a few had the opportunity to vis- it a foreign country. Mr. Bill Haroff, Spanish teacher, traveled for eight days in Spain with Dcanne Rocco, Bryndis Letzring, Ed Rowand, and Diane Rollins. One of the most exciting parts of their trip was seeing a bull fight. “I disliked the cruel aspects of bullfighting, but ap- preciated the artistic and enter- taining aspects as well,” com- mented Mr. Haroff. Traveling to Koko-Cho, Ja- pan, Marshall’s sister city, were Sandi Overhiser and Cathy Haybach. When thinking about their trip, Sandi and Cathy es- pecially remember the flam- boyant traditional costumes, the many gifts that they re- ceived, and the closeness of the 6 TRAVEL ABROAD Japanese people. “My favorite part of the trip was a night at a home-stay when Sandi and I sat around and lis- tened to music with two teen- agers. That’s when 1 realized that people are the same every- where,” remarked Cathy. Neisha Dickman had the op- portunity to be a summer ex- change student in Japan. She found living with a Japanese family an interesting but diffi- cult situation. “There wasn’t anyone whom I could really talk to. No one in my Japanese fam- ily could speak English well enough to understand me,” she stated. Visiting Germany was the highlight of Michelle Beebe’s summer. While there, she no- ticed that most of the people wore dark clothing. “I felt like I stood out in a crowd with my pastel-colored clothes,” said Michelle. Michelle especially remem- bers all of the festivals that arc celebrated in Germany. While she was there, she attended two of them, a chicken festival and one for fishermen. Being away from home for a year is especially tough when you’re in a foreign country and Betsy Hayes, a foreign ex- change student, now knows that is true. She spent the year in Melbourne, Australia. “The Australian people were all interesting and very friendly. They speak English, yet their slang, in itself, is a different lan- guage,” remarked Betsy. The experiences gained will never be forgotten by these stu- dents who had an exciting trav- el abroad. TRY IT ON FOR SIZE — Neisha Dick- man spent the summer touring Japan.

little Things in Time we spend as students is a small clip from the great movie that is our life. In a blink, it flickers by, and a lot of our remaining life is dedicated to looking back on those wondrous moments. Yes, there are some bad times, life curfews and detentions, getting the first speeding ticket, or the frantic 2 o’clock in the morning writing of a research paper that’s due the next day; but generally, the high school years are some of the best in everyone’s life. There are always certain things that epitomize the school years. For instance, when fall arrives and the air is rich with the aroma of burning leaves, we all think of football games. This time means the student body sitting together on those cold metal bleachers, breathes frosting in the chill autumn air. The students chant raucously along with the cheer- leaders and sometimes don’t see a lot of the game because they’re so busy socializing and having fun. Yet, there’s a comfortable sense of together- ness, of happy times and friendship that really reflects student lifestyle. We spend high school years looking forward to what lies ahead, not realizing that what we have is what most adults spend their whole lives looking for. Student years are magic ones. They should be cherished and preserved because they represent a time when we are truly free. by Bryndis Letzring SITTING DOWN ON THE JOB.
