DHYS GF CGNTEITIPLHTICJN Life isn't always fun, Occasionally we must be alone to sort things out, to have our ideas fall into place. School often requires a lot of work, and it often takes away precious time that could be used for more exciting things. But enduring those hard times makes us appreciate the good times even more.

DHYS GF FHSHION Fashions are one thing that change constantly. During the school year, we saw an abundance of curly hair, not only on girls but also on guys. Cowboy hats were a big hit at games and other school functions. Four-wheel drive ve- hicles were the new thing for car own- ers. Girls showed up in boots or spiked heels with straight-leg jeans. Hiking boots were standard footwear for guys and girls alike. Vests were also worn by both. This year's fashions were definitely new and unique.

To wish sometimes to leave, and then to stay. To laugh, to weep. To no longer know what one is doing here. To await a letter, arrange some photos. To learn to live again as a family. To search for someone to talk with, someone who understands, someone who wishes to listenA And then to remain silent. I no longer know why I am here. Time passes, and so much seems far and away. These were some of the thoughts of for- eign exchange student Anne-Lawrence Veyrine after coming to Sioux City from France. Anne spent her year here as a senior, and hoped to continue her travels after leaving. Vania Concha, a native ofChili came to North as a sophomore. She noted many interesting differences between schools in Chili and in the U.S. The school Vania attended in Chili had no study halls, and classes were not held when teachers were ill. The main difference she noticed was our abundance of ac- tivities, such as drill team, twirling, and cheerleading. She felt our culture was fairly easy to understand and enjoyed her visit here. gl 'rs .4 ' . L' .gk '- 7: f 'A ,mg ' Mi fi ra' ' .

Pene felt that the student body was very friendly and was im- pressed by our school spirit. She noted that we have more freedom in school than Australians, and enjoyed it thour- oughly. f six: Ll 24 Fflil V QNX ti!-4451 lg Lf DQQJV Russ Gesling, also from Australia, was a senior this year. He felt that our school was much more strict than theirs-school regulations and dress codes were very lenient at his college, which included grades ll and 12. He enjoyed playing tennis here, and found many activities and clubs to participate in during his stay. ' . N ..
