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.

to Q1 Ui Activities were a major part of high school life. It seemed like there was always something going on, whether it was an assembly, a student ,council meeting, or a fundraising project. No matter what the activity, it' always seemed to attract various people to par- ticipate. Milhi definitely had its share of activities. The Veteran's Day Assembly, held Nov. p8, was once again praised by the community and the newspapers as one of the best commemorative events for U.S. Veterans. up ,Milwaukie was the only school to hold a Homecoming parade involving the entire school. A program to help the elderly, called Adopt-a-Grand- parent, was created by Student Body President Kelly VanderHouwen. The program was the only one of its kind in the disti-ict.,Another annual event, held in the spring was the Nominating Con- vention that taught the students about the electorial system and gave a general idea about politics. We have a lot of unique things at our school like the Tournament of Plays and the Homecoming Parade through downtown. That's what I like--the uni- queness, commented Gary Thompson, math teacher. p D Milwaukie I-Iigh's classiness was por- trayed through these unique activities. These events added to the pride and spirit that the Mustangs possessed. 1 Copy by Cindy Detchon Photos by Debbi Abendroth Activities Division Page WMM, Sophomore power-Enthusiasm iills the streets the Homecoming parade makes its way throug downtown Milwaukie.
