By providing. the opportunity and transportation for skiers to get to the slopes, the club was able to reach many students. Nearly every day, during early spring, the Ski Club sold tickets for their Sierra J aunts both lunches. Unfortunately, the weather was not on the skiers side this year with snow not falling until February. For this reason some early trips had to be canceled. Even it the trip was canceled, Barry Steel, club advisor, would hold meetings showing members how to correctly care for equipment, what to wear, and he was even heard to tell an old sking story or two.

Belinda Martineau was one of D.C.'s two students to travel to a foreign country during the summer of 1975. Thanks to the American Field Service program, Belinda spent nearly her whole summer in South Africa, in a little town just six miles outside Durban, one of the largest ports in the country. ln Hillary, her home town , she attended an all girls school, where she carried a full schedule. On vacation from school, Belinda went on a five day and four night trip through the jungle. While Out in the Wild the group was always watching for lions. rhinos, and other animals native to this region of the world. Because of the danger involved, someone had to have a gun ready at all times. Fortunately. the gun was never needed for protection. One of the first things that struck her about the South African society was the definite distinction between Black and White citizens. The Black people were not given the right to vote, nor any say in their government at all. Black people were paid lower wages for a specific job than a White person was. For these reasons, and the general attitude of the Whites toward the Non-Whites: Belinda feels that war is inevitable in South Africa. Belinda Martineau is keeping score for the D.C.

To the Students. Faculty and Friends of Del Campo, This year has been special to me: Special because never before in my life have I learned so much about other people or another place as this year. Rarely have I enjoyed mixing with so many people or taking part in so many new school activities. Students here are very fortunate in having so much to become involved in and I feel I took good advantage of this. Football, student government and yelling and cheering at games have been simple things, but the things that have meant the most to me, and the things I will remember in the future. First impressions it is said are important. My first impression of Del Campo was favorable. Iwas k.,-.... t.. I k Ian observes Del Campo's daily life Ill.

I saw an exciting school, vibrant with people intent on making the most of their school life. From my first day, I met warm and friendly people who I hope will remain my friends for a long time. I know I have benefited from my AFS experience. Just by taking part in the day-to- day lives of normaI Americans, I have learned a lot about the way of life of people in this wonderful country. I have been accepted as part of the school and the community. At the same time of course, I had great fun. Thank you for sharing this wonderful year with me. I hope you have all benefited from it as much as I have. lan Hodge AFS Student Australia Ps.,N.-, - xi . . ll N. E
