Different Cultures Work together as Chinese Tour Midview The halls of Midview were alive with culture on Thursday, riovember 12; representatives from the People's Re- public of China visited and experi- enced our normal, American school day. The 18-person delegation arrived on Greyhound busses and were greet- ed by the talents of our marching band. Each face was aglow as the Ori- entals, smiling, waving, and taking picture after picture, stepped off the bus. Some of the guests mingled in with the band to pose for still more pictures as they played Rock-M-Roll Medley'' and Living on a Prayer.'' Festive streamers decorated the li- brary, where they ate lunch and Mr. John Bianchi said a few words of wel- come to our guests. Other speeches were given by teachers, students, and other members of the community. Each of the delegates received an offi- cial Middie painter's cap and tradi- tional raku bowls made by the art classes, in addition to a metal anchor cast in the artroom, a copy of the newspaper, a yearbook, and a packet of introductory letters written by stu- dents in various classes; our guests presented Mr. Bianchi with an etched mirror. The group was further entertained by the choir, singing De Animals, Clouds, and Rhythm of Life, fol- lowed by much applause and many smiles and nods. The final excursion was a tour of the building conducted by student coun- cil officers. TU MxJViSW HlUtt SUH0U1 Superintendent Lin- da Muntley was one of the speakers to ad- dress our guests from across the globe. Mr. Joe Filipiak explained about student coun- cil just before the four student council mem- bers took the podium. PresidentCory Wolf spoke on behalf of the student body. Other speakers included Maj. Daryl Ruehle (Di- rector of R.O.T.C.) and State Representa- tive Marie Tansey. WELCOME TO MIDVIEW HICK THnQL 16 STUDENT LIFE
