Last summer, selected Parkview students joined students from high schools all over the state for the annual Boys' StatelGirls' State. Both were concerned with state legislative procedures. Students were divided into counties, voted for governor and other state officials, and participated in a mock legislative session. Patty Bates, one of Parkview's delegates to Girls' State, thought the experience good for her scholast- ically, as well as on a social basis. I got to meet girls and make friends from all over the state. l also learned a great deal about state legislative proceedings that I didn't know. OrganlzatlonslAcademlcs .U 5

Patriots experience worl Landing in a country thousands of miles from home where they did not know a single person, Angela Churc- hill and Greg Fuller developed inde- pendence through the American Field Service exchange program. Angela lived in Bucak, Turkey, while Greg spent his time away from home in Flio Carlo, Brazil. Each found the beginning was tough, but soon began to enjoy his adopted country. Turkey is extremely different from Arkansas, even the United States, as far as climate and land- scape are concerned, Angela noted. That was a big difference for me. It does have its own sense of beauty, though. Greg also found Flio Carlo's climate a good deal different, but he adapted much quicker than Angela. lt was warm and easy to get used to. In fact, you could easily become spoiled by that kind of lazy, balmy weather. The exchange program gave these students experiences they will never forget. Angela said, I am glad that I had the chance to see how other people lived and how other govern- ments were run. ' Dol have e bld? Angela Churchill sells an AFS homecoming T-shirt to Dana Bluhm.

U OI l 'CIW 8: 0I'd9I' Johhson, David Lewis listen to a lawy Once again this year, representa- tives of Pulaski County Bar Associa- tion spoke to Social Studies classes concerning various types of law. Lawyers came from both civil and criminal divisions and spoke to stu- dents about court procedures and cases in their respective divisions. Brenda English, Parkview junior, found most of the lawyers interesting, but she especially enjoyed the crimi- nal lawyer. He explained to us terms we hear on television or read in the paper every day, but most of us don't know what they mean. Most students who heard the lawyers agreed with Brenda, since most were more familiar with criminal law due to publicity it is given through all forms of media. Civil cases are much more identi- fiable to the average student, Lisa Crossland, junior American history student said. Any of us could become involved in a property settle- ment or divorce proceedings. I think it is important for us to know what would happen if we were to get sued. It would be important to know the proper procedure . The Student Council also spent a good deal of their time on procedures this year. Council members worked on parliamentary procedure, and according to some, the work became a bit too tedious. Jimmy McDowell, junior homeroom representative thought that too many points of order were called, and that too much time was spent on the proper way it was to be done. We did more on procedure than work for the school, he said. Not everybody knew how to make a motion, or even what motion was on the floor, so we had to take the time to explain almost half of the motions made, Dan Howard, parliamentar- ian for the Council said. He thinks, however, that a good deal of progress was made this year. lf we can help those who don't know parliamentary procedure in the beginning, then we won't have this problem again.
