Rotarians, Optimists represent AH The Rotary and Optimist Clubs honored Alhambra's Seniors by se- lecting them to attend special luncheons. The Honors Committee selected a couple each month, based on the individual's school involve- ment, community interest, leader- ship qualities, character, and grades during high school. Student Optimists attended one breakfast meeting of the Club and received a plaque of recognition. Student Rotarians were guests at luncheons every Thursday for the month they were honored. At their final luncheon, they were given a Rotary Club banner. 3 'Fda 'ROTARIANS-FRONT ROW: Linda Humble, Susan McKissick, Bar- 'bara Larsen, Bridget Mahoney, Marie Jorgensen, Geraldine Quan, Karla Paulmenn, Annette Zetterlof, Jan Varner, Diane Trujillo.

Exchange students compare countries Hi, my name is Jette and I am from Denmark. I am an AFS-student and as all other AFS-students, I'll stay in the U.S. for a year. At the present time I am half way through my experience and I will say that it is very different here. In Denmark I live in a small village with only about 150 people, one general store, a church, and a tiny lake where we ice-skate in the winter. I live in a big house with my mom and dad and my two smaller sisters, Q12 and 15 years oldl. My dad is a truck- driver, but most people around where I live are farmers. I go to school in a town about ten miles from my village, so I have to take the bus every morning. My school is very different, too. I take very different subjects, the Way of teaching is very different, and the responsibilities are different. My school is also smaller. There are only about 600 people. Now and then I feel Ncrowd- ed at Alhambra, but I have seen so many new activities that I had never experienced before, like Home- coming and Halloween. I also like the fact that a major thing here is sports. I enjoy nearly all kinds of sports, except for football. All together I like being here. I have learned a lot, tmainly about myselfj and all the people I have met have been really nice to me and tried to help me and show me their way of life. I hope very much to come back and visit sometime. Best wishes, from Jette if g et 5 5 , .ai r X E ..... sf -1 :Q SER, igie eseg.. .iss veg use kg. . ' I ff z 'ieswf k .
