Floats, a football game, a victory dance, a queen, attendants and a court, a parade, fun and excitement. What do they all mean? Homecoming 1977 at Arthur Hill. Tracy Gridley reigned as queen throughout the eventful week. Karen Schauman and Mary Bradtke were attendants. Reigning as court mem- bers were: Cindy Bourdow, Rosemary Cannon, Nanette Dupuis, Jean Finch, Theresa Lagalo, Cathy Minnis, Dorian Rouse and Cathy Soto. The girls had a busy week in preparation for the Homecoming as- sembly and game. During the assem- bly they performed a skit and sang a song that was ‘Truly in Their Hearts, Hillites are Number One.” Paul Duquette and Dennis Fisher also gave a performance singing the theme song “The Greatest Love of All’? accom- panied on the piano by Doug King. The Hillite football team was victor- ious over the 1976 State Champs, Midland Dow, with a score of 24-0. The game was followed by the victory dance which featured the band ‘‘Trig- ger’’. The class floats were judged on originality and creativity. The senior float was awarded first place. The sophomores took second while the juniors followed in third place. Over the past years, Homecoming parades had become obsolete at Arthur Hill. The efforts of the student cabinet along with the cooperation of the City of Saginaw provided the opportunity for Arthur Hill to have a 1977 Home- coming parade which proved to be very successful. It featured the Hillite Marching Band, cheerleaders and pom pon squads, class floats and the court. 1.

Travel To And From U.S. Hey, Salut, ola, hai, oi, godendag, and hallo were some of the many greetings that could have slipped through the mouths of the foreign exchange students. Arthur Hill opened its doors to eleven exchange students coming from eight different countries. Ollivier Ville- maine and Lawrence Boursy from France, Carin Lowgrew from Sweden, Jet Halbertsma from Holland, Anne Sadowski from Germany, Carman de Castro from Brazil, Kris Vanden- Affeele from Belguim, Martha Bos- mediane, Carlos Cuvi, and Mabel Bastidas from Ecuador made up the group who attended classes at A.H. All of these exchange students had something in common, they were all far from home, but were well taken care of. During the year the students learned the Americans customs and way of life They also participated in school activ- ities and traveled with their host families. Being an exchange student is an experience that you treasure for life. “You get big impressions with the big cars and McDonalds and also with the American people chewing gum,” commented Jet Halbertsma. Jet and the other exchange students liked the United States and hope that they can return again for a visit. The pictures on page 16 were taken by Arthur Hill students during their various trips. Hillites visited such places as Montreal, Canada; Paris, France; and Madrid, Spain. The exchange students who spent this school year at Arthur Hill take time out to pose for a photograph.
