HHS Host Brazilian This past year HHS had the privilege of hosting a foreign exchange student from Brazil, Nelson Tamaoki. Nelson arrived here in Harvey on August 24,1982. Here in Harvey Nelson stayed with the Arley Hinsz family. Fifteen year old Nelson lives in Santlo Andee, Brazil with his parents, two brothers, and his sister. His father works with a business that sells eggs. Before coming to America, Nelson studied one year of English. He can also speak Japanese and Portuguese. In Harvey he continued learning English along with algebra, biology, history, and art. Nelson felt Brazilian and American teenagers are alike in many ways. They enjoy rock music, movies, and parties such as we do. He also mentioned that almost all teenagers in Brazil play soccer, the national sport, in their free time. One thing different from our society is that due to the high price of gas few teenagers drive in Brazil. Nelson's hobbies are ping pong and ornamental fish. In closing, both Nelson and HHS students felt that his stay was educational. (1) Nelson Tamaoki — foreign eichange student at HHS in 1982-83.

1983 Climaxes Twelve Long Years For Seventy-Three Harvey HS Seniors It was 1971 when the Class of '83 first began their formal education in kindergarten and first grade. Twelve years later on August 31, 1982, the class returned to school as SENIORS. What did being a senior mean? Taking Econ, geogra- phy or psychology (maybe even physics, senior math or co-op) for one thing and being on the top for another. Seniors were team captains and leaders, club officers, solo musicians, royalty and examples for the underclassmen. Yet, the class wasn't infallible. At Homecoming, the class float was disqualified and the banner placed third — hardly enough to boast about. But the seniors bounced back at Sno-fest winning class competition. It seemed that almost every school activity was held in honor of the seniors in 1982-83. The Homecoming court consisted of seniors King Lowell Wahl, Queen Barb Miller, Carmen Alexander, Barry Sommer, Jill Al- brecht and Bruce Mack. Lori Fowler and Doug Lamm reigned over Sno-fest while class president Connie Roerick led the grand march at Prom. Awards Night and graduation was the grand finale of activities held spe- cifically for 73 HHS seniors. Senioritis became an epidemic among the class with class as the countdown toward May 22, 1983, continued over the final five months. Nostalgia reigned as seniors traded pictures and name cards and signed and stuffed memory books with a late-blooming fervor never before shown in school. Are our caps and gowns here yet? remained the burning question in May. Plans were made to borrow the traditional graduation garb from Minot Ryan until the order finally arrived — on Friday afternoon, May 20. It took several phone calls and special arrange- ments to fly the precious parcels from New York, but the seniors did manage to go out in style after all. In contrast, the class wasn’t persuasive enough to convince the aministration to reinstate senior privi- leges, though Mr. Baumgartner admitted this was one of the most well-behaved classes. It appeared that even skip day may have gone out with privileges. But the Class of 1983 did celebrate their seniority by wearing togas on their final day of HHS — May 20, 1983, and their own green caps and gowns on their graduation — May 22, 1983.
