Four Students Enrich JCD ac-Cen-Del was fortunate to have four exchange students during the year. Anny Almada, who lived with Monica Ronsheim and Shannon Neal, spent the year with us. She came to Osgood from Mexico and spent much of her first months gening acquainted with the language and customs of her new home. Conquering the language was the biggest step and as she became fluent, she became more active in school life. Anny was chosen Homecoming queen and par- ticipated in nearly every activity for the Seniors. Pierre Nicollier, a resident of an Alpine village in the French sector of Switzerland, came to J-C-D to experience the culture. Pierre was with us for half of the school year, when his host family moved to Iowa. Pierre was often seen tun- ning in the halls after school for track practice and working hard over his school work. The challenge of the English language was Pierre’s most difficult undertaking, but when he left he was well on the way to mastering it. Following the Christmas break Lucho and Luis came to J-C-D to spend twelve weeks. The Osgood Lions' Qub spon- sored these young men from Peru. They Anny and Pierre pose for school pictures. were involved with many classes and could be seen at nearly every activity at Jac-Cen-Del. It was a sad day when these two left. Exchange students learn much from us, but they leave many imprints that stay with us long after they are gone. The exchange program has been a good experience.

hat do you say about the last year in high school? This year has been an outstanding year for the fifty-nine members of Senior Class. They were able to do many things to leave their mark on JCD. They started the year by gening those all imponant Senior Pictures taken in August. Shortly after gening used to be- ing back to school again, it was time to plan the one and only Chicken Dinner. The success of this event determined how many Raffle tickets had to be sold for the trip in the spring, so they certainly flush- ed those chicken wings and drumsticks. This class was nothing if not unique. So they chose to do some things different- ly. Past classes have gonen tee shirts, so this group decided to order Senior Sweats and class keys. They determined not to have their trip during Spring Break, but during April, touring the cities of Washington, D.C., Philadelphia and New York. Then, to make graduation just a bit more memorable, they chose to wear red and blue gowns. To get to Washington, Philly and NYC the class sponsored a dance follow- ing a home basketball game to raise a bit more money, and then they hit the streets with their raffle tickets and sell they did! Beyond all of this there was the more nor- mal side of the class, providing a good ex- ample to those who are going to try to fill their shoes shortly.

Seniors are always concerned with what they look like and graduation day is no exception; David and Norman mirror each other to examine their caps and gowns. SENIORS 33
