Experiencing the real Adventurous Gpportunit thing- .. cholarship and leadership capabilities led to adventurous opportunities. Students who were selected as Boys' and Girls' State Representatives, Foreign Exchange Students, and Rotary Outstanding Students were given the opportunities to explore governmental procedures, foreign countries, and educational offerings. Boys' and Girls' State Representatives embarked for a seven day stay at the University of Texas and a ten day stay at Texas Lutheran College. The students experienced politics first hand by running for state and local offices in their imaginary states. Traveling to foreign countries for a few weeks or an entire year was a memorable adventure for three students. Randy Long and Mike Wofford, sponsored by the Wurstfest Association, traveled to Braunfels, Germany for four weeks. Through the Rotary International Youth Exchange Program, Jana Sanders was selected to spend a year in The Netherlands in a small village named Gorssel-Zutphen near Apeldoorn. By applying to be an L. exchange student, Jana agreed to graduate a year later. However, this was not a drawback to her. It's going to be worth graduating a year later, she stated positively. Another project of the Rotary Club was honoring twenty outstanding seniors. Although this honor did not involve spending time away from home, it did bring recognition from the college board. This meant that these seniors would have a better chance of getting into the college of their choice and possibly obtaining a scholarship or two. Starting college was their adventure. How did all of these students get chosen for these opportunities? They applied at the counselor's office, were recommended by teachers, or were selected according to their grade point average. Teacher selections were often based on citizenship, responsibility, and character. Being selected was a great honor, but the adventurers were experiencing the real thing. Packing early! Jana Sanders isn't leaving for The Netherlands until August but she wants to make sure she doesn't forget anything. Believe it or not, under all those shoes, pictures, and clothes is Jana's suitcase. boys' and girls' state and rotary outstanding students-29

o Good h . lean your room, eat your vegetables, wash the dishes, and do your homework were always things your mean old mom insisted that you do. Many times it seemed as if no one cared if you received an A or a C, but someone did care. Because your parents insisted on more, you achieved more. They cared. At the senior awards banquet, feelings of pride and accomplishment filled the minds of parents, students, administrators, and teachers. The monetary awards ranged from grants to private, state and technical schools to athletic scholarships. Now you realized why your mean old,' mom wouldn't settle for the red marks everybody else got. Boy was she '99 mean, But, wasnit it worth it? Smiles of achievement on the faces of Kourtney Kahler and Rodney Fischer indicate their self- satisfaction as they receive the American Legion Outstanding Senior Award from Miss Ann Mahon.
