Big day arrives As usual, the day that class rings arrived was exciting for members of the junior class. They finally re- ceived the ‘proof’ that they were upperclassmen. Each person received a personal- ized ring. Although some people chose a simple, but traditional ring, each ring was personally designed. Some people chose more modem — — — rings which they could wear for years thereafter. Personal plates .

The new drum major, Melanie Kas- nake, made a bold fashion statement with her specially made uniform. The short, black satin skirt and shirt, both partially sequined, were accented by high-top black boots, a red satin vest with sequins, and a red hat with a large black feather. For the colder games, Melanie also bought a longer skirt.

Colombian student enjoys U.S. As a foreign exchange student, Juan Pablo Sanchez experienced different things in America than in his native born Colombia, South America home. His host parents, Mr. and Mrs. Bucky Mock, opened their doors to allow Juan to experi- ence the hospitality of the Ameri- can people. Juan reflected upon his thoughts of America in the following inter- view: How are teenagers different here than in Colombia? Teenag ers in Colombia don’t have cars and aren’t able to drive at such an early age. Teenagers there have places to go, such as discos, and don’t worry about curfew as much. Do you like high school? Yes, it is a lot different. More studying down in Colombia, not as much here. | like pep rallies, foot- ball games, and all student activities. What made you want to come to America? To learn English, and for having for college an experience. What really stands out in your mind about America? Their government is good. Ser- vices such as roads, schools, etc. that people pay for in Colombia are free here. | like that everybody can participate in sports here. In Co- lombia, children are kept from sports because of social class. 8 Mini-Mag

THE NEW WAVE IN SWISS WATCHES. Exchange student studies abroad Last year we were privileged to host eighteen-year-old Genevieve Bosmans, a foreign exchange stu- dent from Louvain, Belgium. Gene- vieve reflected her warm personal- ity and some of her thoughts in this interview: Q — How do schools here differ from those in Belgium? A — The school in Belgium is more difficult and more strict. You don’t have the same schedule every day, but every week your schedule is the same. Q — Why did you choose the U.S.? A — Because like Europe is for the American teenager, America is for the European one. Because of the 10 Mini-Mag STUDENTS AGAINST DRIVING DRUNK English language, I had to choose between England, Australia and the U.S. England was too near Belgium, and Australia was so unknown. Q — What would you like to do most while in the U.S.? A — | don't really know, but I would like to do as much as I can — like travel, sports, any kind of activities. Q — What will you remember most about your stay here? A — It’s a bit early to say now, but I will always remember Lebanon High School and its students. | think that I will also remember your mountains and hills!
