Argentina and Mexico. 16 years Everyday life is very different. In Argentina and Mexico one can walk the streets at night and enjoy the sites of the city. Marcelo Guzman A Close-Up Look At A Small World Upon entering Dorman, one would see many people, people with varied facial expressions, hair coloring, and clothing styles. If one were to examine these people more closely and listen to their voices, a realization would occur: a realization that not all students dre simply born and raised in Spar- tanburg. nor are all students born and raised within the Stdtes. Some were born overseas while their par- ents were in the service. However, others were born in a foreign country and lived pdrt of their lives there. These people give Dorman a rich cultural heritage. They have had to adapt to neW customs and for some, a new lan- guage. George Jannack is from Sydney. Australia. He lived there for seven years. A vast difference exists be- tween Austrolia and Spartanburg in the way of football. Australians play football on a circular field and do not wear protective gear. Aus- tralians also use a scoring system of one. two. or four points. Another person with foreign heri- tage is Anja Krammer. She is from Austria and lived there for six years of her life. She says that the most noticeable difference is thdt Aus- trian teenagers do not grow up on junk food; instead, they eat deli- cotessan food. Liem Nguyen escaped from Vietnam, along with his father and brother Lam because Vietnam was being taken over by Commu- nism. Their means of escape was on a boat from which they were picked up by a larger boat and brought to America. Dorman's cultural heritage spans from England to Spain to Korea. Each link helps to shape Dorman's cultural heritage. The students with foreign heri- tages fulfill a special place in the makeup of the school. Dorman is proud to have its special represen- tatives. 12 Cultural People
