French student Pascale Leblanc adjusts to new lifestyle Pascale Marie Therese Leblanc, a French exchange student, arrived in the United States on August 25, 1975 and studied as a Senior at North- wood. She was part of the Interna- tional Cultural Exchange Program (ICX) and was one of thirty-four exchange students in North Carolina. Her visit was ANOTHER STEP FOR- WARD because Pascale was the first exchange student to live in Pittsboro and attend classes at Northwood. Pascale arrived two days after school had started and quickly ad- justed to a new lifestyle, language, family and school. She lived with the James Mulligan family and enjoyed telling them of life in France. She was soon involved in student life at North- wood as she signed up for classes, attended her first football game, par- ticipated in Spirit Week and made new friends. At home. Pascale enjoyed horse- back riding, sailing, and getting ac- customed to American Food. She found she liked peanut butter, marsh- mallows. and corn, foods which aren’t eaten in France. Along with eating strange food, Pascale participated in many new activities which she had never tried before, such as playing softball, trying her luck on a pogo- stick and celebrating such holidays as Thanksgiving. She had a chance to see different parts of the U.S. as she traveled to Florida, Ohio, Washington D.C. before returning to France in mid-July to fur- ther her education at a University in Lille. 1.

Sports Did we win or lose? What dif- ference does it make now it’s all over? We tried our hardest and they were behind us; that's what made it another step for- ward. Some said if we won we could draw a crowd. We believe if we could draw a crowd we could win. The new football field, a new basketball coach and a rise in spirit helped to make this year better than last. Now the bleachers are silent. Soon they will be filled with the sounds of hearts outpouring. A new year, will come, and like this year, we will fight with our heads held high no matter what the final score may be.
