Everyone likes to talk to people who they have things in common with. Many people talk about habits, interests, etc. For the foreign exchange students experiences and lessons are what they seem to hold in common. Alexandra Muller. Marcos Gracey and Lena Perrson enjoy some sparkling conversation at Whataburger. The three enjoy spending time together and comparing their many experiences. Your eyes grew bigger; your stomach began to feel jittery and your heartbeat increased rapidly. You were filled with anxiety, part- ly also caused by nervousness and by excitement. You weren ' t exactly sure what to expect of the infamous America, Land of the free, home of the brave. How were you supposed to act? What customs of yours might be con- sidered strange? What clothes were acceptable? This enormous amount of ques- tion and emotions swirled about the foreign exchange students heads as they stepped off the plane onto their temporary home. Within a short time the exchange students began to learn many strange and new things that were different from their homes. There were many new adjustments they had to make in order to live in the new environment. One of the weirdest things I, and people around me had to get used to were the different ac- cents. I remember one of my very first conversations, it was exactly the most intelligent one I ever had, Australian born Marcus Gracey said. What ' s your name? Marcus. Who? ' ' Marcus. ' ' Oh, Mike us? No, Marcus. Mike, us, who? Never mind, okay! There was an enormous amount of new and different things to get accustomed to, there were customs to learn, new people, friends and even new families to meet. School was the most drastic change, but also the most important. Since they had to attend it every day, it was easy to get accustomed to. It was a big change going to an American school. Back home our schedule changes daily, German born, Alexandra Muller said.

I laid there and cried. GiGi Madl ■ While at the state titles surfing competition I had to go to the toilet before my heat. All of the boy ' s cubicles were full so I decided to use the girls: it was empty. Some girls came in and it was time for my heat, I needed to go. I put my hood on and glasses and rushed out. Marcus Cracey Flexing my muscles with the water faucet trying to be tough, my chair slipped from underneath me and I fell backwards, along with the faucet. Water spurted up and made a hole in the ceiling. Wayne Devora Thinking we were tough, Roxanne Schmid and I walked into the girl ' s dressing room at the scrimmage football game. The guys from the other team were getting dressed. Rox left, and I stood by myself, in em barrassment. With a red face I walked out as they clapped.

Brian Johnson Kevin Jemeyson Chante Jefferson Sherlyn James Wallace Jackson Jesse Jackson Steuen Ibrom Mark Ibrom Heidi Hutcherson Robin Hunt - A UVlli ' IT CJPI Shelley Uhr has been crowned one of the duchesses to represent the Lutheran churches in a various amount of parades. This is something I have been waiting for since I was little bitty and also something 1 11 never forget, and cherish forever, she said. Shelley is the second student from this school that is ed le to hold this honor. Three years ago, Tracy Allen held the honor of Princess. Living Uke royalty • • Wouldn ' t ive all love to lead the glam- orous life? It would be fun to be looked at admired and watched. Being treated like royalty and being able to act the part would be more than wonderful. You could dress up in beautiful and elegant robes, be the guest in parades and be a member of the court. Ho one would pass up the chance for an opportunity such as this, and Shelley Uhr was no different. She is a member of the court of Arabian Nights. There are five members of court including a Queen. Prin- cess and three duchesses. Shelley is a duchess and was chosen along with 46 other nominees up for the titles. Members of the court are chosen from girls who all belong to Lutheran churches. Shelley be longs to the St. John ' s Lutheran Church. The day I was notified of the position was really great. I was at home eating supper when I got the phone call. After I told them I would participate, I began to cry. It was really exciting. ' ' she said. The court has many appearances they must make on their agenda- the most favorable are the parades they get to ride in. The girls compete to be in the parades by selling ads. There are many parades available for us to ride in. The Peanut Festival. Aqua Fest, Battle of Flowers, and the Cotton Bowl. I came in fourth place and get to ride in three of the parades. The biggest one I get to ride in is the Battle of Flow ers. Shelley said. Shelley will be crowned as duchess until the next years coronation. Although a new court does come along she will never lose her title as a member of the Arabian Nights. Every year there is a new theme to which the court is formed after.
