 Our Foreign Friends Seven Exchange Students enhanced Oroville High this year. For most of them, this was the first exposure to American culture that they have experienced They all agreed that coming to a new country was very scary, but also exciting. Making friends was difficult because of the language barriers, but eventually the barriers were broken down by shining personalities eager to learn about the American way of life. Miki Endo Yokohama, Japan “I wanted to come to America to experience true freedom and to learn the English language. Miki has hopes of being a Japanese English Translator in the future. Martin Luthje Germany In Germany we have fourteen different classes and no credit system. Martin was eager to learn about our country, but he was the only exchange student who disliked American food. Maki Awatsjuji Tokyo, Japan Maki enjoys listening to American music and watching the T V show The Facts of Life.

r H • m • • • E R T« H • E A«T All the clouds of our life have passed away, and no gloom obscures the future, no shadow flecks the presence of our brave, our tempted, our tried, yet ever true, Theater Workshop! These are the words Mrs. ]une Farkas chose to describe her family, Theater Workshop. During the course of a year, these talented people put on two plays. The class did everything from the sound and lights to publicity, costumes, the set and the acting of their play. Being in theater required a lot of time and personal sacrifice. Dedication is what it takes. We're like a family; we depend on each other for everything. )essie Wright said this the week before their first performance, which was a week that everyone would have liked to forget. However, when they got out on the stage, all the hours of practice paid off. Whether or not students plan on making a career out of the fine arts, it is a great experience to be in Theater Workshop. Die, woman!!! Laura Howell kills Venessa Brown. Now you won't be able to tell any one anything!! Laura Howell laughing as Vanessa lies on the floor. Here we have two very fine actresses.
