Siok Brings Malaysian Flavor to AHS One of two foreign exchange students who is spending the year is Siok Bcng Ongfrom Kuantan, Pahang, Malaysia. In coming to Arlington, Siok left behind five sisters, one brother, her mother, and her father, who is a chief clerk on a rubber farm. When Siok arrived here on September 5, she was greeted by her new family,” theJ.M. Morris’, Mr. John Webb, Mr. Jerry Smith, and Miss Mamie Price. Also on the welcoming committee were Mrs. Connie Campbell, City American Field Service pres- ident, and several girls from Siok’s new Girl Scout troop. Since her arrival in Arlington, Siok has become apart of many phases of the school curriculum and has become a part of many students in the school. Siok found that her school subjects had to be changed when she entered AHS. In Malaysia her subjects included topography, regional geography, world history, and general economics. Because of her genuine interest in learning more about the American teenager and his way of life, Siok changed her study program to include American history, typ- ing, English, sociology, civics, physical education, French II, and music. Besides her studies, Siok took an active part in many of the extra-curricular activities of the school. She participated in the annual choir Christ- mas program in which she sang some of the songs of her native country. Also Siok was in the cast of the senior play. In the play, Holy Terror,” she played the part of Nurse Smithers. She is also a member of the Foreign Language Club which made her an honorary member at its annual Christmas party. Siok has found that speech making is a big part of her requirements as a foreign exchange stu- dent. She has made many speeches at club meetings and has always been very honored to do so. In Arlington, Siok has experienced many things which she had never seen or done before in Ma- laysia. This year Siok celebrated her first Christmas by exchanging gifts, trimming a tree, and decorating her adopted family’s” home. 12 YIIIIW

Active Cheerleaders Sustain Colt Spirit Colt spirit was greatly increased this year by the efforts of seven enthusiastic cheerleaders. Numerous poster parties were held during the football season to promote the idea of presenting the class with the most school spirit each week with a green and white spirit stick. The cheer- leaders thought up many posters of their own and put on several humorous skits to help bolster Colt spirit even more. These cheerleaders attended the Southern Methodist Cheerleading School during the summer of 1965 and came home with four ribbons. They copped a ribbon in each of the four places; first place, second place, third place, and honorable mention in competition with groups of six or more. Another activity of the cheerleaders included the selling of ribbons to help finance the annual trip to the Cheerleading School. Before each game time was spent in decorating the goal posts and after each home game the cheerleaders sponsored a dance in the cafeteria. 14
