SENIOR Student Council Officers The Student Council offic- ers displayed leadership and good organization for the 1987-88 school year. Kelly Boulicr, President of Student Council, said, “Student Council is die foundation of our high school activities. It’s a lot of hard work being a President, but I get a lot of help from the officers. To- gether we managed to do a good job in fulfilling our re- sponsibilities.” Hie new idea of a merit system was put into effect this year. It was thought of by Kelly and Vice-President Tawny Closs. It kept all of the members of Student Council active and gave them credit for how much they did. Tawnv’s comment was, “I enjoyed being involved in school ac- tivities as the Vice- President.” Chrisy Cubitt was the sec- retary and Kailonnic Dunsmorc was the treasurer. Kailonnic adds, “I like being involved and helping to or- ganize school activities.” She helps the President and other officers in their duties as well as keeping track of finances.

There were three foreign exchamge students for M.H.S. this year: Patrik Hogenas from Sweden, Per Hindsberg from Denmark, and Tanja Merkel from West Germany. Each one of them said they really enjoyed at- tending M.H.S. in the United States. They commented on how much more involved our students were in school ac- tivities and athletics. One thing that was hard to get used to for them was the slang terms people used or even just a simple “Hi, how are you?” or “Hey, what’s up?” seemed strange to them because when they would turn to answer, the person would be walking down the hall, not expecting an ans- wer. In their countries, people are not as friendly as that. They just say an occa- sional “Hi” and that’s it. Another difference is the number of television chan- nels we have compared to the few that their countries have. Denmark has three or four, West Germany has seven- teen, and Sweden has only two, which are from 6 PM to 12 PM. Ihcy are state owned so there are no advertise- ments either. They do not have some of the common things we do, such as, yearbooks, class rings, Homecomings, and certain holidays like Hallo- ween. Their schools arc different in many ways. Tanja said that her school went from 8 AM to 1 :35 PM and they don’t have any lunch breaks. Patrik and Per said that their schools give students more freedom, similar to col- lege, but here at Marysville tlie teachers arc more con- cerned and have a better re- lationship with their stu- dents. They also give them more individual time. These students may have learned a lot from coming to our country and going to M.H.S. but they arc not the only ones who have gotten benefits. The Seniors of 1988 and the underclassmen have learned a lot from talking to them, and getting to know them. Our class was very honored to have Patrik, Tanja, and Per at our school and we hope they enjoyed their stay here in America.

Germany says, “Hallo!” And Per adds, “Hcj!” also Senior Float Shows Creativity The Senior float building had a successful outcome. The Senior float took first place by using a toilet to comply with the overall theme of w ater. The Senior’s theme was “Flush Out the Pioneers.” Not only did this float show a great deal of originality by using a toilet, but the use of plastic flowers was a definite plus. Although the weather w as clear, many past parades and Homecoming games have been rained on, and by the end of the day, the floats are soggy and almost uniden- tifiable. If rain had been a factor in the ’87 Homecom- ing, the seniors’ waterproof float could have withstood it. The float building w as held at Michelle Lomerson’s house on Michigan Avenue. It was an ideal spot because it was set back from the road several hundred feet. Much of the senior class participated in the flower parties and float-building, and their organization showed in the finishing of the float with no last-minute di- lemmas or problems.
