Adviser: Miss Margaret Govaer President: Sylvia Newborn Vice President: Phan Hoanq Sophie Queyrat, a foreign exchange student from France, was a senior at Garey High School. When asked about the differences between Garey High and schools in France, she answered that there was no comparison be- tween them. She went to a Catholic school in France. There was much discipline and there was more respect for the teachers. She also answered that the teaching methods were different, along with the attitudes of the students. In France, the students were more concerned with striving for goals and concentrated mainly on achieving these goals. Also they were more dedicated. Seventy percent of the seniors were college-bound. When asked if Garey could be improved, she replied, Only if the students change their attitude and they understand that high school is only their beginning. She added that they are not going to school to please their parents or made teachers happy; it ' s only for their benefit. Sophie ' s future goals are to major in public relations and to travel much to experience other cultures. She wants to finish her studies in France when she returns home. Garey students were happy to have hosted her at Garey. Inlpbys I ' naSem doiinj my aclCitCi
