Assemblies New schedules created The Student Council and the Rally Squads planned some very exciting assemblies during the 1983-84 year. All the assemblies were new and origi- nal ideas with a newly designed as- sembly schedule, which increased at- tendence by a large margin. Some of the more popular assem- blies included the Toga fashion show, the male Mardi Gras court, the music assembly Cfeaturing the Concert Choir and Choralel, and the assembly where Coach Linn's hair was shaved off because the football team had won the Metro League championship. Another big assembly that took place over the 1983-84 year was the 4th annual Rhythm Boy assembly. This assembly featured twenty-four senior boys who dressed up as the Rhythm B's and performed a parody of a Rhythm B routine. The boys did their dance to the song Rocky at the Beaverton vs. Sunset basketball game on a Tuesday night. Rhythm Boy Larry Gilbert commented, It was a lot of fun, but learning the dance was hard work. 18 Assemblies

Foreign Exchange BHS students travel overseas Lisa Jones, Jennifer Hickman, and Stephanie Murphy were three Bea- verton High students who traveled to foreign countries in 1983. Each of these students participated in the ex- change programs to learn about other countries, traditions, to learn the lan- guages, and to meet new people. Lisa Jones, a senior, traveled to Juiz de Fora, Brazil on the Rotary In- ternational Youth Exchange Pro- gram. She left Beaverton on Septem- ber 5, 1982 for a continued stay lasting 11 V2 months. Lisa arrived back home August 14, 1983. During her stay in Brazil, Lisa became fluent in the Por- tuguese language. Lisa participated in the Carnival, which is a traditional celebration in Brazil that lasts for five days. Lisa also traveled to the North- ern part of Brazil which represented the true Brazilian culture. I had the opportunity to learn about a new cul- ture and meet some of the friendliest people. Lisa found the beauty of Brazil impressive. Brazil is a Very beautiful country, especially its warm, sandy beaches surrounded by palm trees. I sincerely hope to return some- day. In the summer of 1983 Jenny Hickman participated in the NACEL program. She traveled to Bonne. Bonne is a small town on France, very near Geneva, Switzerland. Jenny found that the nearness of the Alps presented her with many opportuni- ties for outings. We went hiking in gorgeous places, unlike anyplace I've ever seen here in Americaf' Jenny traveled on weekend trips through Switzerland and Italy. I found Italy to be fascinatingg it was so different and alive. Every day I saw and learned new things, and I met a lot of new people. Jenny's French improved drastically: I learned more in my six weeks there than in a whole year here. I saw things I'd only heard about, it was really exciting. Stephanie Murphy decided to go south on June 22, 1983, to live in Mexico City, Mexico. She traveled on the Inter-Cambio program, and lived with the Izaguirres family, Stephanie returned home on August 11, 1983. During her stay in Mexico Stephanie had the opportunity to visit Acapulco. I loved the beautiful beaches and the sung the weather was definetly much better in Mexico. Stephanieis first experience in Mexico was a culture shock. Everything was so different: the people, food, and culture. It took me about a week to get used to every- thing. Living in Mexico also gave Stephanie the opportunity to improve her Spanish. Now Stephanie would recommend an exchange program to everyone. It was a wonderful exper- ience for me and gave me a chance to see other parts of the world, I hope to travel to Europe while I am in col- lege. 20 Foreign Exchange
