f r ' M{( ''('aflttf JJ)U Cathy Buliche came to us from Micronesia, one of the thousands of small islands that makes up Oceania. She left behind her father,Sachuo,mother,Hiroko, five brothers, and four sisters. Her host family here in Conneaut is the Joseph Estock family. They reside at 207 Woodland Ave. with their son Mark, and two daughters, Beth and Marie. Cathy's school in Micronesia is very different from ours. It has more of a campus atmosphere where the students have many responsibilities and much more freedom. Her school doesn't have an AFS chapter but her interest in be- coming an exchange student ignited when her cousins were Foreign Exchange students in Ashtabula and Chicago. She was very impressed with our Future Nurses Club, and enjoyed being a Candy Striper. Her sports activitiesin-cluded basketball and baseball, which she played here at CHS. Cathy enjoys cooking, although she never got a chance to cook here. Sewing and settling down with a good book for a quiet evening are also on her list of leisure time activities. Thank you, Cathy Buliche,for sharing .a year of your life withushereat CHS.

 One of our Foreign Exchange Students this year was Greg Wright. Greg came from East London, a town in South Africa where he 1ives with his mother, June, his father, John, and his brother Brad. When asked about CHS he replied, I am enjoying it, but it's very different. My home school in East London was an all-boy school. There we all had toweair uniforms. He also said, I am not used to having females in school with me. Greg lived in Conneaut with the Gordon Griffey family. During the summer Greg wenton vacation with the Grif-feys to Washington, D.C. and North Carolina. He said, Seeing Washington, D.C. was the best thing about my vacation.” While going to Conneaut High,Greg was active on the Spartan varsity football team, who were the NEC champs. Greg liked playing football very much because there is no football in East London. Greg told us that when he left he was going to take home the recipe for Pizza. There's no pizza in East ondon and he's sure it would be a tremendous success.
