::.:.w..s:,'.r:m C o I o m b ion S u m m e r Dear Diary, On the first day of my sum- mer vacation. I got up, then I went downtown to look for a job... And so continues the typical summer vacation. unless your name happens to be Sandy Cimerman. In that case. your diary would read: Dear Diary, On the 23rd day of my sum- mer vacation. I got up, then I hopped a flight to Colombia. Being of Colombian descent, Sandy was quite eager to see the country in which her grandparents, as well as many other of her relatives live. Now in her third year of Spanish at Kellam, Sandy feels her vocabulary was supple- mented by her stay. Even though her relatives could speak some English, Sandy pre:- ferred to speak spanish. It was a great opportunity for learning more spanish, as well as for seeing my family, says Sandy. I wouldn't have missed it for the world. While in Colombia, Sandy took the opportunity to do some sightseeing. She traveled up to the mountains and visited the small villages of the area. It was not Sandy's first trip to Colombia, howeverg she had been there twice before when she was younger. Sandy stayed in Colombia for two weeks, not as long as she would have liked, but long enough for her to become reac- quainted with her relatives and learn more about the Spanish language. fi, ,nw Daz!

The writing Cn The lllolls Graffiti, typically American, is seen almost everywhere from bathroom walls to government buildings. As a means of ex- pression, graffiti is most useful. It may convey thoughts and emotions, through not only the written word. but also through pictures. Michaelangelo, was a type of graffitist, his contribute may be seen on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. Not to say that artists are the graffitists. Graffitists come in many shapes, colors, and forms. Take a poll among your friends and see how many of them have written on a bathroom wall. Five will get you ten that at least some of your friends have. Yet how many of them have practiced and perfected their styles of writing Unless one of your friends is Bruce Setzer the answer is probably zero For the last four years Bruce has been writing his graffiti in style. His style is Old English. However unlike most graffiti, Bruce's is productive, not de- structive. It all started four years ago when as a busy as- signment Bruce's 9th grade en- glish teacher taught the class how to write in Old English. The whole reason I learned it, says Bruce, is because I thought my name would look good in it. What first appeared to be a passing fancy soon proved to quite useful. Once Bruce's tal- ents were discovered things were never quite the same. He became besieged with requests for his work. As a favor to the administration, Bruce took time out to number the seats in the auditorium in Old engllsh numbers His work became even more reknown when as a lunlor he wrote in Old English the names of each couple on the Ring Dance tickets and there are plans for him to do the same with the Prom tickets. Being on the football team seldom leaves time for homework let alone time to paint Kellam's stadium yet Bruce somehow found the time and once again added to the decorativeness of the school. When the Senior Class was painting the pumphouse they knew just the right person to ask to design it. Bruce was re- sponsible for the numbers on the side of the pumphouse and also helped design the front. Bruce's newest work can be seen on the back wall of the gym. The Knight has been re- moved to make way for the large letters which spell Kel lam Knights Many people have left their mark on Kellam High School but none have done so literally or stylishly as Bruce Setzer
