Exchange Students Experience Northville Two students at NorthviJJe High School are spending an exchange year learning more about themselves by studying otner people. Josef Rohotka, from Germany, says it is popular in his country to go to America for a year as he is present- ly doing. Josef finds our school system easier than that of his home town because he has fewer courses to study at one time. What Josef admires most about America are American cars, especially the limousines. Josef ad- mires the family-oriented environment of Northville. Paloma Monteverde comes to Northville from Spain. She lives in a small town near Madrid that is much like Northville. Paloma tells us that she likes the people of the United States, finding them to be very friendly and interested in foreigners Tike herself. Paloma feels that Americans live well, enjoy life, and just like to have fun. Upper left: Josef Robotka loves America this much!

w TT Student Congress Boosts Involvement Under the co-presidency of Anne Griffith and Beth BuckJand, this year ' s Student Congress has developed a new NHS constitution, establishing voting procedures for class elections, student responsibilities and Homecoming traditions. With the help of its sixteen members and officers, Student Congress has elicited more school spirit and laid firm groundwork or future organizations to follow. Through events like the Turkey Trot, Spirit Week lunch activities, and Homecoming activities, Stu- dent Congress has boosted student involvement once again. Two blood drives in the spring have in- volved the community in activities as well. NHS student government has also interacted with other schools through activities in the WLAA, such as student leadership conferences at Oakland Com- munity College, student exchanges, and chess and bowling tournaments.

No ProbJem The 1987 Palladium staff pJunged into compiling the yearbook with one of the largest staj s ever. FinaJJy situated in tlieir own permanent room, tlie staff could effec- tively organize and produce their book. Under the direction of faithful sponsors Ms. Mary CuJik and Mr. Bob Shorrar, the NHS staff converted yearbook copy production to Typevision, a time-saving method of typing all headlines, captions, and body copy on computer. The Palladium staff also did much 0 their own photography and printing this year. Anne Grijifith, as weJJ as editors-in-chie Kara Goscinski and Jennifer Hansen, spent many Jate nights finishing layouts long after the staff left for home. Without the motiva- tion of this elite group, the Palladium staff would have never been able to promptly make their deadlines or produce such a high quality yearbook.
