The ’85 edition received a top Medalist ranking from the Columbia Scholastic Press Association and a First Class rating from the national Scholastic Press Association. Top ratings are nothing new for the Copper Cat which has a long record of excellence. With the exception of one second-class rating in 1953, the local yearbook has received either a first class, Medalist, or All-American rating every year since 1950. One area which helps make the Copper Cat such a good book each year is its coverage of the school year in the copy throughout the book. “Writing body copy is the hardest thing to do and I hate it,” admitted staff member Mona Sanders. “What really upsets me, though, is when people don’t read it when the books come in.” 12-Senlors Copper Cat

The following is a transcript of an interview between Copper Cat staff members and foreign exchange stu- dent Samantha Byrne. Q: We know you are from Australia, but specifically what part of the country do you come from? A: I’m from the capital of Western Australia — Perth City. It is a ma- jor city with a population of a little over one million. Q: Tell us about your family. A: My mom’s name is Shirley and she is the owner of three flower shops. My father, Michael, is su- pervisor for Telecom, a govern- ment company. My brother Na- than is fifteen years old. Q: Is there a big difference between the schools in America and Aus- tralia? A: My school in Australia is much harder. School in Morenci is more fun. There’s not as much aca- demic pressure here. Q: What is your impression of Mor- ' enci? A: Morenci is very quiet compared to the major city I come from, but the people here have been really good to me. Everyone is very cor- dial. Q: How are American boys and Aus- tralian boys different? A: It’s easier to be friends with a guy in Australia than it is here. If you go somewhere with someone in Morenci, everyone thinks you’re going together. In Australia, friends go out together without being romantically involved. Q: What are your hobbies; what do you like to do? A: I like to read, play netball, and softball. Netball is just like basket- ball, but we play it without a back- board. I played first base in soft- ball. Q: What organizations do you be- long to here at school? A: I belong to AFS and Drama Club. Q: Is the food different here? A: I can’t get used to the taste of bread and butter. The food in Australia is much creamier, and we also eat a lot more fresh vege- 14-Seniors Foreign Exchange Student
