UP ON TOP IN D.C. iving a speech in front of 6,000 people may terrify some, hovvever, James Niche olas felt at ease as he presented his nominating speech to Boys Nation in hopes of being elected President. Nicholas was originally recog- nized by Boys State through his participation in the ASB. Out of three million nation Wide, only 1,000 students were selected for Boys State out of California After being elected governor, Nicholas vvas se' lected to advance to Boys Nation in Washington DC There. he adopted the attitude to be yourself, and do the best you possibly can ' Along with being an achiever at Boys Nation. Nicholas' persistence gave him the opportunity to vvorlc for Congressman Duncan Hunter This position was achieved after applyf ing for an internship for vvhich only college students are accepted But A ndre w A rm: Carfofa A rre wk: because ofNicholas' determination. he was one of four accepted out of one hundred applicants, Nicholas' job ranged from writing letters and calling other Congressmen, to keeping the President on hold. Nicholas' early involvement in political affairs took him all across the Nation, l-lis experience made him particularly glad that he lives in Southern California. Nicholas felt that we live in the greatest area and have the greatest opportunities. But the only problem is we dont realize it l-le also found that in life as people try really hard to excel or be noticed, the best thing they can be is themselves, lf you have confidence in who you are. not vvhat you are, you can accomplish anything your soul desires. - Lori Holtkamp David Arkar jenngfer A uff Wend Averilf janafizn Balfon Adam Barfon Cfrrirhha Baie: jeanine Bauer Chrirfopfier Behrens

Gfenn Buffer joann Cabrera i ri Q- K-fa WHAT HAPPENED DOWN UNDER n the 27th of January, 1987, Lori Holtkamp, Cathy Flecker, Allison Smith, and Judy Schwiebert departed Los Angeles Airport for destination Australia! What a country! Accom- panying our ambassadors were four Australian girls who had been living with the host families for the previous three months. All eight girls were part of a school exchange between Torrey Pines and Calrossy in Tamworth, Australia. On arriving in Australia the girls ventured to the four Australian exchangees homes in dif- ferent parts of New South Wales. After a short vacation, they attended an all girls' boarding school. ln spite of how it sounds, it was an incredibly fun place Wearing a uniform was a requirement to attend school which was an interesting experience for all involved. Travel was an important part of their visit. The opportunity to see and experience the wonderful country in all its diversity and beauty was exhilarating. Places far and wide were visited such as ,ng Aim Brue Eric Brunn Pafrick Bubien Deidre Buckhnd Car00ne Buelf Karen Bujnorauxki Deborah .Bullingfon .Sven Buncher Sfephen Barge Ish Burgelrlr Mafifzew Burkhard Chrirfian Burrif the Great Barrier Reef and the dominant heat of the outback. The girls met many new faces, made many new friends, and in doing so found them most friendly with a great deal of character. Although America and Australia both speak English, there is somewhat of a language barrier. Many words and phrases are used differently, which was confusing and hilarious at times, Overall the girls had a great experience which allowed in- dependence and excitement to grow within and created en- couragement for future quests, - Lori Holtkamp 151
