Americans Abroad Most of the houses in my vil- ige were wooden and built on tilts, because it often flooded inderneath. Their equivalent of a ,ath was a big stone tub filled 'ith water, from which you took a ucket of water and poured it ver your head, making a kind of panual shower. My house had anana trees growing right in the ack yard, which caused some rteresting problems, because re tarantulas would crawl trough my bedroom window nd sit down on top of my pil- iw. Y Kelly Scanlon Q Samarinda, Borneo 4,9 M N230 M AN, NX fl fill ,iii East of where I lived, there had been a great drought. All the land was very barren, and not even the grass was grow- ing. It was almost grotesque - just the bare skeleton of the land. One day, I went to Alice Springs, where I saw some very unusual canoe races: the men had drilled holes in the bottom of the canoes, and three men would get in each, putting their legs through the holes and run- ning down the parched river bed. Connie Rose Berriwillock, Australia While I was in Africa, I got a chance to travel around some and do some really interesting things: ride an ostrich in the Little Karoo Desert, sail a Hobie Cat in Pletten- berg Bay, go on an elephant search in Port Elizabeth with an AFS group, hike through the Tsitsikama Forest and the Oteniqua Mountains, and explore a native squatter camp. Also, I went to a Nationalist Party meeting one day and met the Prime Minister of South Africa, who is comparable to our president. Joe Kunze Knysna, South Africa The town I lived in was very old, and even had some buildings which had been standing since Medieval times. We would go into town every day to shop for fresh food, because my family kept almost nothing in the refrigera- tor. So the food we bought in the morning would last us for one full day, and no longer. Mary Barbian Solothurn, Switzerland My family had two maids, one about fifteen years old and another who was probably thirty, and I would often sit down and talk with them. They asked the funniest questions: 'What year is it in the United States?' 'Do you have garbage in the U.S.?' and 'Do you have dogs in the U.S. ?' Mark Nelson Nacional, Argentina My family owned a bar and bowling alley, called the Kegel- bahn, and I spent a lot of my time working there. Most of my firends and many people in the town would come there, so for me, it was really a chance to socialize. The Germans like to drink beer, but not just for the sake of drink- ing. They do so to get together and have a good time. Andrea. Anderson Daubenrath, Germany AA f89

AFS AFS is a club whose scope extends beyond Brookfield or even the U.S. We feel that once enough of us get to know and understand the earth's peoples, we can finally make lasting peace a reality. These words, spoken by AFS President Tim Goltz, show how the club, through its many exchange programs, works to unite the world. The most visible work of the club is these exchange programs. In addition to sending several students abroad, Central is sponsor- ing three AFS students, Martha de Sousa from Brazil, Marco Nasser from Ecuador, and Inge Desmedt from Belgium, and one YES student, Vicky Melgar from Bolivia. But club activities do not stop there. Numerous meetings are held in which all members may experience other cultures through the slides of returning members, and students are also given the opportunity to participate in social activities, such as the annual square dance or roller skating par- ties. In February, Americans Abroad candi- dates got a taste of what their exchange will be like, during Out in State week. Students spend a full week in some other Wisconsin town, meeting new friends and experiencing a different way of life. Monica Blochowiak remembers, t'AIthough I was still in the same state, I felt as if I was living a completely dif- ferent Iifestyle, having never been exposed to farm life before. Milwaukee Week was held in early March. AFS students and Americans Abroad candi- dates from all over the state came to Mil- waukee for a busy week of activities and tours. Several Central families hosted stu- dents during this time. Susan Worst remarks, lt was good both for our family and for our visitors, because we all had to learn to adapt to each other's lifestyle. 11l AFS - Jill Larson, Tim Goltz. 12ndJ Marco Nasser, Mark Nel- son, Joe Kunze, Andrea Anderson, Mary Barolan, Kelly Scanlon.

SSI The club has had the reputation of doing nothing, but this is not true. There are a lot of neat things to do because we are a very active club. I also think that SSI is a lot of fun, comments junior Lynda Hahn. Following a year of rebuilding, this year's SSI president Jody Breckenridge led the club in one of its most active years. Club members participated in a plethora of activities, ranging from bake sales, to earn money for club expenses, to a toy and clothes drive for the Purple Heart of Milwaukee which took place in December of this year. Traditionally, the highlight of the year for an SSI member is the Spring style show. This year, the club was forced to find a new sponsor, and a great deal of searching was done to find an area clothes store willing to donate clothes for the event. Members of the club mod- eled the clothes in the show, which was presented in the Cafeteria for the gen- eral public. Junior Mindy Raterink adds, I like the Christmas tea and style show and some of the service projects, but I think that the best thing is the Spring style show and all that is done in prepa- ration for it. SSI also entertained the people of Woodland Nursing Home with a pumpkin carving party which is pre- sented annually. ln addition to the many service pro- jects that the club participated in, there were also many opportunities for self- improvement. During the Christmas season, one such activity took place. A Christmas tea and style show provided entertainment as well as an opportunity to experience modeling before the style showin the Spring. The club also had a representative from Mary Kay Cosmet- ics demonstrate make-up use to mem- bers and their mothers. In conclusion, Pam Corcoran says, I think that SSI is a good club for girls who want to accomplish something and also because this club teaches people to help themselves. 90 fSSI i ,4 . fl it Q11 Presiding over an SSI meeting in room 224, President Jody Breckenridge talks about the upcoming style show. j2l SSI - Hstl: Mrs. Geck, Lisa Marks, Heidi Swan, Beth Tafoya, Leslie Lip- scomb, Pam Corcoran, Nancy Holtze, Kris Roe, Beth Anderson, Jody Breckenridge, Anne Brus- sock, Barb Christon, Diane Andrews. !2ndl: Cara Nottingham, Cherie Jackson, Judy Suson, Julie Dzirbik, Dea Albers, Jenny Baker, Maureen Valley, Sue Schott, Lori Rehn, Nancy Dorman, Sandy Hahn, Sue Danning, Julie Anderson. f3rd2: Wendy Huber, Kathy Holan, Jody Duchateau, Lisa Terlau, Ann Valley, Amy Walz, Nadine Hill, Lynda Hahn, Mindy Raterink, Brook Tafoya.

The bookstore is an available utility for the student in need of school supplies. Comments junior member Jim Bogan, I think that the NHS bookstore is a very good idea, but not enough people take advantage of their option. Joining NHS was one of my major goals since the beginning of my sophomore year. I looked on it as a success that could help me and stay with me for years.
