No more graffiti, From new paint on the lockers to a new roof on the main building, the school was going through some big and small chan- ges. The old student recreation room be- came the new teacher's lunch room and lounge. They also had a microwave oven, a refrigerator, and a pop machine at their disposal. The lockers were what the students had received this year. The lockers in the main building were touched with a fresh coat of maroon paint after years of being a salmon color. The year before, when the lockers were salmon, the wri- ting was really visible. Randy Craw ford, sophomore, commented, It really looked a lot better than the year before. ' ' The people in the school district had the stairs in the main hallway redone. They started on the stairways in the sum- mer and did not finish until a couple of weeks into the school year. They had changed from white and maroon hand rails to wood and dark brown hand rails.

Mr. Larry Wilkins exclaimed, It was a much-needed improvement. The new material is hard to mark up so those teen- age barbarians that are out there won't deface it. Two companies were hired to put a new roof on the main and industrial arts buildings. The roofing itself was done by Pacific Roofing Company. The company covered the skylights on the third floor of the building making the main hall very dark. They also put siding on the top around the edges of the structure. That job was done by Faris Sheet Metal Com- pany. Sophomore Matt Aebi stated, It was very hard to practice for football because of the smoke and burning tar smell. Shawn Loe, sophomore, said, It was hard to do school work because of the bad smell and loud noises. The option building on the far corner of the school grounds was repainted for the teachers that were moved there. Copy by Ed Hilger Photos by Tami Zuber l 4 2 F

H amburgers, pizzas and football I thought Milwaukie was a cute little town and I loved Pietro's from the first bite, commented Tuija Ekdahl from Fin- land. She was one of the many exchange students from around the world to visit Milwaukie for the school year. Most of the exchange students didn't miss their families at the beginning, because they had so many new friends. Jan Roihio from Finland replied, Some- times Ifelt lonely if there was no one to talk to in my language. Football games seemed to have been an event that the exchange students en- joyed. Anders Errson from Sweden ex- plained football as being a lot of people chasing and hitting each other. After the first football game I knew what school spirit was, exclaimed Kati Tihtonen, from Finland. The people in America were more friendly and they had a totally different way of life as compared to Italy, ex- plained Giovanni Lippi. The majority of the exchange students also felt every- thing was bigger such as the building and cities. I learned more English, but some- times my pronounciation was a little miserable. I also learned what peanut- butter tastes like and to like America, stated Ekdahl. Being an exchange student was only for one year, so I didn't miss my family because I couldlbe with them for the rest of my life. I enjoyed it here very much, stated Manny Fernan from Cebu, Philippines. You Americans really loved your hamburgers and pizzas, commented Tihtonen. School is a lot harder in France, replied Emanuel Charil from France.
