Someori to ook up to One way for seniors to escape the pressure of college applications, ACT tests, essays for John Edgell's English class or raising money for the senior trip was to spend some time in the lower school. They did so by participating in the Big Brother!Big Sister program. Seniors were introduced to their lower school classes in a school-wide assembly in the fall. From that day on, they visited their little brothers' and sisters' classrooms one day a month. Using special themes, the seniors tried to add an educational flavor to their visits. At Thanksgiving Shawn Camp, Jeanne Vogel and Edith Croux performed a little skit telling their sixth graders about the first Thanksgiving. Besides that, the Big Brothers and Sisters played lots ofgames, told stories, provided treats, laughed and had loads of fun with their classes. Organzied by their Big Brothers and Sisters Kara Seay. Graham Smith. Catherine Bellingrath, Cindy Thomas and Jason VieBrooks, Mrs. Jen Oliver's fifth grade class challenged Miss Joan Bassett's class to an exciting soccer game. I really liked it when we played outside and especially when we played soccer, said Alex Irwin. The classes enjoyed the company of their Big Brothers and Sisters and often showed their appreciation. At Christmas Katherine Ann Knapp and Marty Hamaker got bowls full of candy canes from their sixth graders. In order to spend time with their kids, the seniors had to give up a part of their off- campus lunch. But for most of them this was not much of a sacrifice. lt's worth it because the kids are so cute, said Jaime Sundell. In general, the seniors liked the program. Gary Gingrich said, I like it because I get to know lots of lower school people and they Iook up to me. lt gives the seniors more responsibilities, added Kris Whitson. That the tradition should continue seemed clear. As Graham said, l like to see the enjoyment expressed by the kids. They look forward to the program, and it's rewarding for us too. lidith Croux: I-'CA IIZIL Yflcens IIZJL Yearbook H211 AFS II2I. l'aulCrow:FCAH0-Ill:KeyCluh1Itl,Ill:lfnuth:tllI9Al2I:Baskethttlltl2I: Ilasehall II I.

UNA ii l If they Could see me now Remember that brown-haired girl, with her hard to pronounce last name, talking with a foreign accent and wearing different clothes? Well, that was me, Edith Croux, P.A.'s foreign exchange student from Belgium. How. you might ask, did she get stranded in Little Rock, Arkansas and especially here at P.A.? I will tell you! I was one of the lucky people who was selected to participate in the AFS 1American Field ServiceI program. I had heard so much about the United States that I wanted to see and experience it for myself. Where I was going to live that year was a big question for me till AFS told mel would spend a year in Little Rock, Arkansas. Lucky mel In the beginning I was scared but soon I III4 People felt like this was my second home. My family, the lvey's, werejust super and they really made me feel like a part of their family. We had a great time together. Going to school was a major part of my AFS experience. Because my host-sister. Patty 18th gradej, went to P.A., it was only normal that I would attend school there too, as a senior. You can imagine how nervous I was the first day. But from in the beginning everyone was real nice and friendly and when I needed help there was always somebody to rely on. lenjoyed my senior year, although I also felt like a ninth grader and ajunior at the same time, since I had to take some classes with them too. The school system here was different from in Belgium. We had about I5 different classes in one week but not each class every day. I learned a lot of new and interesting things here, things l'll never forget. One day I learned, to my surprise, that engaged means going to be married. The language had never been a real problem for me. People liked my accent and sometimes laughed at the way I talked. But believe me, there were plenty oftimes I had wished I knew how to express myself better. Living in the United States was so different than living in my little, almost half the size of Arkansas, country. No one had told me I would eat junk-food, play video games, take showers every day, and eat peanut butter andjelly sandwiches. But it all became a part of my life and I'll probably miss it when I'm back home. This experience was so unique and important to me. I'm glad I got to know Little Rock and especially P.A. Thanks to a lot of people I had a marvellous time. I learned a lot of new values and beliefs. But most of all, I found some wonderful people and I made some real good friends. Too bad I wasn't born here! Edith Croux
