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

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.

Hi Tartans, Gerlinde Peter I want to thank each and everyone of you who gave even just a little of yourself to make this past year a very special one for me. Sometimes it was just a smile you gave me, a word you said, or a letter you wrote me. Other times, it was an activity or a class we shared, or a dinner you invited me to in your home. I also want to thank all my teachers and especially my counselor for your great help. You are wonderful people and you have taught me so many things. I hope that many of you will take the opportunity, like I did, to go to other countries with AFS. You learn so much, not only about the people and the way they live, but about yourself and your feelings inside. You learn about your own country from another point of view and notice things about your family and friends back home that you never noticed before. It is a won- derful opportunity and I hope many of you will take advantage of it. If any of you ever come to Germany, please don ' t forget to visit me, even if we didn ' t get a chance to get acquainted while I was here in Glendora. All of you Tartans are welcome in our home. Lots of love. Gerlinde Peter Paulsdorf 23 8451 Freudenberg Germany AFS — 177 ii L
