For one week this spring Del Campo had the opportunity to meet and get to know a girl from another culture. Ghislain Taton, a French Foreign Exchange student, came from Kennedy High School in the Bay Area to spend a week in Sacramento. While she was here, she had a Chance to Talk with many people, sharing her interpretations of American society with us and telling of her own culture in France. As most people in Europe and other parts of the world notice, Ghislain commented that Americans are always rushing from one place to another. She found the whole atmosphere in school completely different from that in her own school. In France her school had no clubs, there were no extra- curricular activities. The students had to attend school six days a week. All subjects that they took were mandatory. Ghislain found American society a nice change and a good experience, but she plans to go back to France sometime in July. Once she returns home she will go to a Teacher Training Institute where she will learn to teach elementry school children. Ghislain expresses her contentment with the American way of life. ll l.

After many hours of learning about wrestling, the different holds, the scoring system, and the penalty allotment these girls are called Wrestlettes. D.C.'s Wrestlettes went to every match and wrote down how well each wrestler did in each event. Besides the duty of being statistician, these girls organized all the and numbers, typed it and presented it to the coaches in an easy to understand way. Painting signs and promoting the meets were other jobs the Wrestlettes had to do. Organizing the organizers was Mike Harris the club advisor. Those interested in basketball joined together in money raising activities to help supplement the basketball fund. The major goal for the club was to raise enough money to send the team To Hawaii for an invitational tournament.

The Swim Officials for Del Campo's Swim Team played an important part in every meet. By taking times as well as recording them, these people were providing a very important service for our school. Dorothy Reardon, a Biology and Life Science teacher. was the head of all officials. Each official was responsible for one swimmer during each race. This person had to know what a was, when to call the swimmer and at what point the clock had to start. They also had to know what constituted a finish. In short, these people had a job that was not as easy asit looked. This year the number of Trackettes was smaller, but their importance had not diminished. At all the Track meets, these girls kept the runner's times. After learning how to expertly use the stop watch, the girls had to watch the starts and finishes to correctly take the time. During each race each girl kept track of one runner. When not watching runners, they were painting signs to promote the meets. William Kimball was this year's sponsor for the Trackette Club.
