As for Mark Sivenson he is Just the opposite, both his mother and father work here and his two brothers attend school here. I am brought up with a strict moral code. My dad works with me in sports, and my mom makes me better in schoolwork, he said. Mark is active on the Varsity football team and received the title of sophomore Lord on the Homecoming court. His hobbies include swimming, water skiing, and diving. Noticing that Mark is an all- around achiever, he was elected out of the Sophomore Class to represent East Central at the Hugh O ' Brian Youth Foundation. All of the teaching staff nom- inated 25 sophomores that best demonstrated qualities for lead- ership; then one was elected by receiving the most votes. It was open to the sopho- mores because we have new ideas and are looking for direc- tion and are eager for the real world, ' ' he said. The Hugh O ' Brian Youth Foun- dation is held to seek out, rec- ognize, and reward leadership potential of high school students. The weekend of leadership awareness took place in April. Mark and other high school sophomores are going to talk about what their goals are and how they are going to play a role in the upcoming future. ' ' My future is very important to me and I plan on making some- thing of myself, I hope other soph- omores have the same view point I do, Mark said. Laiui Futrat lonta Real HOIAI Working hard at studying his Spanish, Sophomore Mark Swenson goes over his vocabulary just one more time. It ' s important for Mark to keep his grades high since both of his parents are teachers here. Also, he has to compete with his two brothers who also attend here. Communications are not hard for this family, since they are together all day long.

Feeling frightened and scared, and not quite knoLV- ing what to expect, you were a brand new student. The situation was even worse. You found your- self faced with unfamiliar people and places. No matter what your particular situation was. it was a scary and uncomfortable feeling. For Cheiko Fukazawa. her school was definitely a different situation. Being an exchange stu- dent from Japan. Cheiko had many new people and even cus- toms to learn. First, she had to get used to the different home setting, new family, as well as the country atmosphere of St. Hedwig. School was probably the big- gest change for Cheiko. with the different customs and rules. I found school in the United States to be not too much different from home. The hours are the same here but the appearance of the students is not. At her school these students must wear a uni- form and the girls cannot haue permed hair: it must be straight. There were many new things that were available for Cheiko to learn. I like the price of the lunches here. At home a lunch tray would cost me $3, Cheiko said. My favorite part of the year was the dress-up days. It remind- ed me of home. On January first we would all wear our kimonos to celebrate the new year. Cheiko said. Cheiko got to have her first big Christmas, because in Japan New Years is a bigger celebration. New Years is really a lot of fun. All my family and relatives, there ' s about 200. have a big par- ty at a hotel. Cheiko said. Cheiko ' s year was filled with making new friends and learning a new culture. She would like to come back to the United States one day. and of course, she will always be welcome. Jody Simmons CHERISHING NEW FRIENDS. It is always nice to make new friends. Meeting new people and building new relations can be refreshing. Cheiko Fukarawa has the opportunity to make all new friends, but not Just any type of friends. For Cheiko making American-friends is a first-time experience. Cheiko. Lori Marsh and Nicole Parker laugh Joyously about tales from her home in Japan.
