Qi '11 -'CL -JN 'i the new kids getting A big steel machine with four tires and a steering wheel - accord- ing to Marjo Wuorisalo, that's one of the most important things to have in America. This realization came to her during her stay with Amy Thompson's family when she be- came an exchange student from Finland. Here you can't do any- thing without a car, said Maxjo. Getting used to a new country involved adjusting to the changes. The diversity of accents created problems when dealing with country gas station attendants. She also had people getting used to her.

Though from places not so far away, they shared the experience of starting over and making new friends. Shannon Keel- er said, It was hard leaving my old friends behind, but the people here were friendly, so I made friends fast. Whether coming from across town or across the globe, the stu- dents had the same task of becoming a part of the school. By graduation they had found that lasting relation- ships could be formed in one year. There was always a first for everything! Mario Wuorisalo finds her first taste ol peanut butter def- initely to her liking. Other new foods she tried in America were onion rings and Mexican food, but she has yet to taste barbeque and other Southern delicacies. 'C' QF' i

seniors will be seniors setting their own stole No one was around. They were all at the pep assembly. On a chance, he checked the door, it was unlock- ed. Closing the door behind him, he looked around once more. He was alone in Ms. Graham's room, noth- ing between him and the food. Searching through cupboards, he matched ingredients to the recipe. A short time later, they were done. The other students returned to class to find Kirk Wilkens polishing off the last of the chocolate chip cookies he had made from scratch. Seniors spent their class time and free time evoking laughter from their peers. Vlfhether done on pur- pose, like Wayne Brown and David Kersey joining the Drill Team dur- ing their Halloween pep assembly dressed as a grandmother and a wolf, or just by being themselves, like Todd Langley dancing the Time Warp in front of his American Histo- ry class, they kept everyone amused. Classroom antics were designed to break up the monotony of daily class work. The Humanities and World Cultures classes were kept on their toes by Gary Williams. From the time he and John Holland played cops at the door in World Cultures to the times Ms. Andreelli's discus- sed his chalkboard invention, Gary kept the classroom entertained. Out of school, humorous situa- tions arose involving cars. Wade Wetzler's Bronco got stuck in the mud on Oak Grove Road on one occa- sion, and because of Scott Harness's hitting a gas line, no one was allowed to leave campus until it was fixed. There was also the time Lenny Whiteman had to push Laura Whitworth's car over the speed bump. During Christmas season, Gale Reed and Juli Sedberry discov- ered Juli's keys locked in her car. While waiting for Juli's dad to bring an extra key, they occupied them- selves by looking at wrapping paper for an hour and a half. Senior year involved good times as well as bad times, but it's the good times that will be remembered. Sheri Marie lrvin Arn 10: FCA 10.
