Hartmut Eicher Sabina Astete H: U- America Makes Three New Friends San Clemente High was introduced to three new friends this year. Eeva Hara, Hartmut Eicher, and Sabina Astete took little time in learning the customs of the country. Their pleasant per- sonalities enriched the experience of the students of San Clemente. Eeva Hilkka Maria Hara was born December 4, 1953. Her birth- place was Helsinki, Finland, the land of sixty thousand lakes, the land of pine forests. She was the seventh child of nine children. Apparently she was used to being around a lot of people, and she showed it this year with her outgoing personality. Her American family was the Hunt family of Capistrano Beach. When asked to comment on her stay in America, she replied, I am having the most exciting year of my life living in California, experiencing the country, the people, and the life style. I don't want to think about the sad day when I have to leave all my friends in America. Hartmut Eicher, born in Velheim, West Germany, November 15, 1952, lived all his life until this year on the edge of the Blue Dan- ube. He has one brother and two sisters. 1 came to meet new people and to live with different customs, says Hartmut. And I'm enjoying and have enjoyed every minute of the stay. Hartmut lived with the Hocketts while here in San Clemente. Sabina Astete was our guest from Lima Peru. She was born Aug- ust 29, 1953, and she is the third child of a family of five children. During her stay in San Clemente she became a part of the Rhoads family. She shared many interest with her sister Vicky Rhoads. I have found a great many similarities between my two 'families' and have had a wonderful experience in this country through the great and unique AFS program. To turn the phrase, the AFS guests gave us all a wonderful ex- perience through the unique AFS program .

Alan Yager Bruce Brent Kim Slade John Monk V . , Mr. Robins Kari Opland John Farr Check . Check Mate BACK ROW-Tim Riley, Alan Yager, John Monk Kari Opland, Mr. Robins FRONT ROW-Kim Slade, Bruce Bent, John Farr To promote the game of chess, and to further it in popularity among the San Clemente High School students was the purpose of the 1970- 71 Chess club. With Mr. Robins acting as advisor, the club sponsored activities such as Days of the Ab- surd . Which included many ridiculous con- tests exemplified by the contest where a liquid soap was whipped to suds and placed in a tub and the contestants guessed how many hours it would take the suds to disappear. Chess is a very misunderstood game. Most people think that it is very slow and dull, but ac- tually once you get involved the game becomes very exciting. That is what we are trying to bring to the students. stated Bruce Brent, the only officer of the club, or should we call him King?
