It's only natural for us to want to come out on top. But, as we all know, this isn't always the case. It takes a lot of work, cooperation from team- mates, and practice to be the best. Sometimes the disappointment and frustration one feels from losing can seem overwhelming. It's very impor- tant to keep in mind that it's not anyone's fault. It there is a winner there has to be a loser. Losing doesn't necessarily mean that one isn't good enough, it means that he pushed someone to try harder to beat him. I'm sure everyone's heard of the old saying, It's not whether you win or lose, but how you play the game. This is true. It's important to keep your chin up. Nobody enjoys being around a sore loser. One should learn from his mistakes and apply his knowledge next time he is competing. One should strive to attain personal satisfaction. Once he has, then the next stop is to come out as a winner. 9

10 exc ituupe ctwte fruwt aCC over Atchison High has been lucky to be included in the foreign student exchange program. We received our first exchange student from Dussel- dorf, Germany in 1964. For the next nine or ten years, we had students from Norway, Thailand, Argentina, England, Italy, Australia, Spain, Leba- non, and Bolivia. We then didn't have another exchange student until ten years later in 1983. From 1983 to 1985, we had the chance to learn about life in Sweden from three girls who vis- ited from various parts of this coun- try. Once again we experienced a little life from down under” when Kim Stringer visited from Australia in 1986. Then this year we got the chance to learn about Brazil from Luiz Cardosa, who was this year’s ex- change student. As quoted by Tami Hord, Not only do I feel that this program gives us a chance to learn about various countries, it lets us make new and interesting friends; and who knows, if we stay in touch with these friends, maybe we could some day go and visit them in their countries.” So in many ways, we are lucky to be in- cluded in this program, and it is hoped that it will continue for a long time so other kids can experience our country as we can learn about theirs.
