Claudia Jean share North ' s experience H HI il ■l 1 H Bi ■ ' ' ' li ' S ' 1 M gBj Wttj 1 J Bpi B i ip j ' H Mary Jo Dick and Claudia Koletzki warm up on their violins before class starts. The trend at North was foreign for two exchange students, Claudia Koletzki and Jean Schouwers. As the two struggled through the changes of renovation, many memo- ries were born and new friendships bloomed that will perhaps last for- ever. Claudia, from Nuremburg, Ger- many, arrived in July and traveled in the United States with Mr. and Mrs. Fry. Chosen by interviews, she in turn was interviewed by Red- skins. Claudia believed that stu- dents were more open and free to express feelings than they are in Germany. Jean arrived and had moved in with Mr. and Mrs. Annis, by the begin- ning of school. Having already graduated from high school in Brus- sels, Belgium, he was chosen to come to the United States, and planned to attend Louvain Univer- sity when he returned. Among the many advantages at North, he liked the extra activities, such as Key Club. Studying for a test, foreign exchange student Jean Schouwers carefully glances over the material.

Bakhshi Villacorta add excitement to classes Mr. Derman Villacorta and Mr. Sarhia Pal Bakhshi both agreed that North Side is an excellent school and that they enjoyed their visit and work at Domeland. The teachers and students were always helpful and made me feel right at home. said Mr. Bakhshi, who arrived from India to teach En- glish. He hoped to return again in the future. Mr. Villacorta has finished his sec- ond year in Domeland teaching Spanish. As he left to return to his home in Peru, South America, he said that he would surely miss the students and people more than any- thing else. Both teachers and many students exchanged interesting facts about the school, the country, the people, and the different customs. Mr. Sarhia Pal Bakhshi and Mr. Derman Villacorta manage to find time in their schedules to discuss renovation. Mr. Derman Villacorta grades tests and checks papers in the teachers ' lounge dur- ing one of his work periods. Explaining a vocabulary list to his junior English classes occupies some of Mr. Sarhia Pal Bakhshi ' s time. In addition to teaching in his assigned classes, he often speaks to other classes during his free periods. 4 Foreign Exchange Teachers

Covering the gym rafters will add another new look. The accoustical tile used for the ceiling is used throughout the school. Students stop by to examine the former study hall being transformed into the new library. It is presently being used as a store room. 6 Renovation
