A Taste Of Culture Walking from class to class, Madison students may have noticed nine foreign exchange students, three of whom were seniors from Spain. Daniel Blanco from Madrid said, I like America. The teachers of America are funnier and friendlier. The teach- ers of Spain aren't funny and are very hard. Maria Perez from Valencia said that in Spain classes started at 8 a.m. and were dismissed at 6 p.m. with a two hour break for lunch. Maria Caballero enjoyed Madison because, In Spain we have twelve classes and our schedules can easily change from one day to the next, she explained. Anne Mo, a senior from Norway said she couldn't believe the size of Madison. Madison is five times the size of my school at home. Fiona Tafa, from New Zealand said that the first thing she noticed about America was that Americans drive on the wrong side of the street. When asked if she could have brought one thing from New Zealand to the U.S., what would it have been, she replied, It would definitely have been our nuclear-free zone policy. In New Zealand we are very proud of our Anti-nuclear government. Fiona stayed in the U.S. with Madison's Latin teacher, Mr. Rob- inson. Tomuki Oikowa, senior, and Sonomi Takahashi, sopho- more, were from Japan. Tomuki stated, I wanted to go to Europe instead, but now I like San Diego. Sophomore, Claudia Kuehn from Western Germany en- joyed discos and being with friends the most. She said that in Germany, thirteen years of school are needed to attend a university. Alexandra Pretz, a senior from Germany also enjoyed San Diego very much. She made many new friends and had a lot of fun.

Colin Hall Imagery Gate Those who enjoyed writing short stories and poetry and wanted to have their work published could turn to Imag- ery Gate, Madison's twenty-five page literary magazine. The magazine, which was distributed around Madison on a quarterly basis, also included artwork from Madison students. Said staff member Scott Garrison, I think it will be good for students to have an outlet for their creative writing on campus. That way, people can see their work published, and feel good about their work. Christian Hansen In the past, English teachers tried to put out the literary magazine but were unsuccessful. A group of students decided to take on the responsibility themselves. Imagery Gate's staff, headed by senior Brad Endicott, accumulated, organized, and published the literary material with the help of advisor, Mr. Penn. Brad was hopeful that Imagery Gate would grow in popularity so it could continue to publish the works of talented Madison students in the years to come. According to Brad, Our fourth addition will probably be produced by an 'amateur staff' which we will form during the year. This will give them experience enough to tackle it on their own next year. The literary magazine was very valuable since it exposed students to literary works by their fellow talented stu- dents. As Brad said, Imagery Gate will be made by you. Keep dreaming!
