Japanese guests stay three weeks at BSH. Baffled expressions resulted when students tried to keep up with foreign accents, but all involved seemed to learn from the foreign exchange pro- gram. Danish student Lisa Peterson came first semester followed by Luerdes Rodriguez, a Mexi- can guest, who came to sharpen English skills. Ten Japanese students arrived during spring va- cation to spend three weeks in Bend. They at- tended classes, toured the area and during lunch periods entertained BSH students with card tricks and arm wrestling. Lava Bear Kerry Gutcher chose to spend her senior year in England while classmate Diane Capps spent the year in France.

New rivalry created by faculty basketball. Rivalry between Bend and Mtn. View was not confined to students. On Monday, January 29, faculty teams from both schools got together for a basketball game at BSH gym. The game brought out a lot of interest in both student bodies. Although Bend's crowd far sur- passed Mtn. View's in size at this game, Cougar fans had predominated at the first faculty game in December at Mtn. View's gym. The game left each faculty with a win. Thanks to a challenge issued by Debbie Brooks, Mtn. View Student Body President, she and lay Johnson each received a pie in the face after their team lost.

Pie in Brooks' face highlights assemblies Assemblies throughout the year were filled witt spirit and variety. The annual Freshmen Initiatnmn and Spirit Week assemblies set the year rolling. Spirit and class pride exploded into rowdiness at the many pep assemblies. A big wrestling meet prompted one which featured a wrestling match in the gym between faculty members Elmer Groener and Jeff Tuculet. The second faculty basketball game, which BSH won, resulted in Debbie Brooks, Mtn. View stu- dent body president, attending a Bend High as- sembly in February to receive a pie in the face from her BSH counterpart, lay Johnson. Other memorable assemblies included the demon- strations by the rally squads and the senior talent show. Assemblies were always a nice break from the normal routine, according to Dan Olds, assemblies commissioner. Though Olds didn't feel assemblies were as good as they used to be, he said that there was an overall good turnout for most ot them. i
