00 arching with pride 4 Esau , ., . he Colorguard is a group that dis- plays our school pride. Their advi- sor is Ms. Patricia DuVall, a math teacher in the South I-louse. She assembles the girls for practices and fund raisers. They march in many parades along with the band. They show their pride in our school by carrying our school banner. They do many rou- tines with flags, in unison with the music's beat, which needs a great deal of practice. This re- quires talent and concentration. They also deal with weather that is good and bad. To do their job right they have to feel pride in our school, which is an easy job. 9 Bra n A- Sh SUV High School QW Pittsburgh Public Schools far N' Row I: fleft to rightj, C. Evans, S. Powell, B.

Numerous applications were filed and after a board of selectors narrowed out the candidates, Ken Balaski, was chosen to represent Brashear. After being chosen, Ken had to send in a lengthy application to AFS fAmerican Field Servicej. He then had a long wait before he found out that he was being sent to Istanbul, Turkey. He admitted being scared yet interested in visiting such a place. Mr. Khorey and the Brashear staff helped Ken immensely as he prepared for his departure. Finally, the day came Ken caught a plane to New York fhis first plane ridej where he was joined by other AFS students going to such places as France and Switzerland. They all stayed the night at C. W. Post College on Long Island where they became friends. The next day, I 18 voyagers crowded abroad a Yugoslavian air- plane. They were relieved when they reached Yogoslavia but they were forced to wait eight hours for the connecting flight to Istanbul. They arrived in Istanbul at midnight and imme- diately went to an orientation camp where they stayed 3 days. The people at the orientation camp explained the difficulties they would en- counter and offered suggestions on how to avoid them. Finally, Ken met the family he was to live with during his stay. His family consisted of a grandmother, a mother, and a brother. Imagine Ken's surprise when he discovered that his brother's nickname was Barby. The family lived in an apartment, Ken and his family adjusted quickly to each other. During his stay Ken spent his time swimming, boating, eating, and touring. Near the end of his stay Ken went to visit other Turkish relatives in Denizli, a small picturesque town. There he swam in pools of hot mineral water of many colors fed from underground hot springs, visited ancient ruins, and had a turkish bath which he described in one word, Hhotll' He hated to leave but he was happy when he finally returned home to the United States.
