While Vanessa Williams was the first black woman to be crowned Miss America, CCHS has its own special queen in Traci Lutz. Being chosen Mardi Gras Queen was a very proud moment for me, writes Traci Lutz about her experience. Traci competed with other girls from county schools in a private interview where a panel of judges asked questions dealing with current events and personal background. The judges were look¬ ing for personality, poise, appearance, and conversa¬ tional adeptness and found it in Traci who was crowned the night of the Mardi Gras Parade in front of her family and school friends. Competing in the Bratwurst Festival Queen contest gave Traci good experience to draw from for the Mardi Gras Queen contest. The Bratwurst Queen contest judges look for personality, poise, appearance, conver¬ sational adeptness, and originality in German costume. Instead of a private interview, however, a fishbowl question is used in front of the audience. Traci was named First Runner Up to the Bratwurst Festival Queen and accompanies her or takes her place in travelling to over 40 other Ohio festivals. Promoting the Bratwurst Festival is the main objective for the Queen and her court and the work and hours are harder and longer than one would imagine. Traci has represented our school well in these contests while serving as Senior Class president and carrying a 3.71 average. As Katarina Bengtsson would say in her own tongue, Tack sa mycket for detta aret, for att valkomna mig och gora detta aret till det b ' a ' sta jag har haft, which is translated, I want to thank everybody for really making me feel welcome, and for making this year the greatest in my life.” Lycka till i skolan + i alia sporter. Jag kommer alltid att komma ihag er,” translates to I want to wish you all the best of luck in school 6 in sports. I will always remember you all. Katarina Bengtsson is a 17 year old from Gothenburg (Goteborg), Sweden. She has been residing with Ronald and Peggy Bear during her stay here in the states. Katarina came here with the help of the Educational Foundation of Foreign Study and waited a year and a half before coming. She would like to encourage everyone who is interested in becoming a foreign exchange student to do so—she said that it has been a great experience. Her first impressions of America were that we aren ' t like they depict us on TVj most other people don ' t realize that there is a country between New York and California. Swedish schools are different from those in the U.S. Swedish schools have no study halls so students spend a lot of time at home on homework. Another difference is that you must join a club to be in a sport. In other words, you must join the club for the sport you want to do. In Sweden, 9 years of school are required, then students can take an extra 2 or 3 years of school and possibly further their education with more schooling. Katarina has complet¬ ed one of the three extra years she has decided to take. Katarina’s father, Rune, is a foreman in a garage; her mother, Solbritt, is an office worker, and her only brother, Lars, is 13. Katarina spends her summer working at the local zoo. Although they didn’t cause any problems, the biggest changes that Katarina had were the new language, school, and new family. She says that she feels very comfortable here because she has met a lot of nice people and has made new friends. Her home city, which has a population of about 500,000 people, has several different high schools. Katarina has friends from the other schools as well as in her own. She was surprised at how everyone knows everything about everyone at CCHS and the fact that most of our friends are right here in our school. Katarina has been to Chicago and Washington D.C. since she’s been here and hopes to see Niagara Falls before she returns home on June 27. She misses her family, friends, Swedish foods, and European handball the most. She hopes everyone will remember her and her braid for a long time to come. We all want to wish her a safe trip home and would all like to see her again. Pa. | $ 100 (ora. Gucci gold- Girls ju.s+ wanting +o Wave. Col e-c-1 diploma., lined trash bag W.?! op on +o.?

Bringing Home The Bacon Although school activities may consume the majority of the day, many students still find time to have a job. Both Brad Kocher and Chris McClintock work on dairy farms. While working on a farm, Brad may be able to put his favorite hobby, carpentry, to use. Greg Martin spends his after-school hours working at Food Town while Jeff Booher works at Flome Office Supply. Taking on a job in high school can be a most valuable experience, for it makes the student take a higher responsibility and prepares him for post graduation. Jeff’s work gives him valuable experience as he plans to go to college and work in the business field. Other students with jobs are: Alicia Law- son, Murphy’s Marti Mike Diller, Jackie Stuckert, and Ruth Kimerline, The Sandwich Shop ( Norm Hall, Munz-Pirnstill Funeral Homei Cathy Norman, Silver Dollan Ken Gledhill, Geyer’s t and Todd Heinlen, Kelly Ketterman, and Donovan Ehrman, Kentucky Fried Chicken. h-”5 Oft WoNTHEGrAME-eUow down Oct Pina.
