afherine Beck dm Haney Jeff Kelly Sophrimofe Juslices Parking Tickets, fraud, littering — these were common cases with which Student Court dealt. The role ot Student Court at our high school has been misunderstood. As a branch of student government, it is not a club. The judicial system is basically the same whether in the Supreme Court, a county court, or Glendora High ' s Student Court. I wanted to get Student Court to be something people respected, commented Chief Justice, Mary Ann Adams. Miss Oglesby, advisor, felt that Mary Ann really tried to get it to be a useful part of the student government. Getting cases on trial as soon as possible was a new goal.

Enthusiasm was felt by all during the school year. It was fun to be able to work with such dedicated, interested kids, replied Miss Billie Oglesby, Student Council Advisor. She added, Both the elected and appointed officers worked harder and spent more time during the summer than previously had been spent. She noticed a real sense of school pride. They made an effort to remove themselves from the limelight and get the student body involved, was another comment. Marie Keller, Commissioner of Public Relations remarked, I was surprised at the enthusiasm the students and community showed toward the improved coverage. There were articles in the newspaper almost every week. Apathy is on the way out was a feeling shared by the officers, as well as the feeling that New Spirit was abundant.

Dear Friends, By the time you read ttiis letter, I will have left Glendora to go back to Uruguay, I will have finished one of the most beautiful years of my life and the only thing I can say to you is thank you, because you made this year possible. Actually, my first days in Glendora, I felt a little unhappy because I didn ' t meet very many people and I found Glen- dora to be much quieter than my city. I thought, though, that when I began school, it would be different, and I was right ' Your high school is wonderful and I am sure I will miss it when I go back to Uruguay. Your high school is for study and study. I have met a lot of very good friends here at Glendora High. You have given me this opportunity, whereas in Uru- guay we have no clubs or assemblies, and we cannot have meetings within the school. Also we only have the five min- utes between classes to talk to a friend, because we have no nutrition or lunch breaks. You can only meet with the stu- dents of your own class and the students don ' t change classes, the teachers do. Also we cannot elect the subject we would like to take, everyone has to take the same sub- jects. So now you can see why I feel your school is so much better. I hope that you will write a lot of letters to me and I am going to try to write a lot to you. If you ever decide to come and visit my country, I want you to know you will always be welcome in my home. Well, my friends, I must stop now. I could go on writing for- ever, but I know that this space in the yearbook is small. I don ' t want to say good-bye, but that I will see you again very soon. More than anything else in the world, I want to see you all again. Jose L. Terra 31 35 Apt. 503 Montevido Uruguay See you soon, 0 176 — AFS
