18 Student Body Officers Leaders are enthusiastic The student body officers, a group of young adults trying to make their school better, was very prominent this year in making the school year exciting. The officers were very interested in the stu- dents of Rancho: they passed out question- naires, and listened to everyone's problems, questions or suggestions. They were very active in the Homecoming festivities and wanted everyone to participate in the many activities and different contests that were planned. These were beard growing contests, bubblegum blowing, the ever popular bug races and the Homecoming Parade - a week long celebration. . In the beginning of the '76-'77 school year, the officers' main goal was to raise school spirit and morale. The student body officers helped to make the three murals painted on the walls happen and planned one for the gym. They also worked on a new P.A. system for the gym and hoped to remodel the Little Theater.

He was an active member in such groups as Stu- dent Council, Public Service Projects Commit- tee, and Soccer. Mario states, The customs in America are much different from those in Equador. The housing conditions and the schooling are very different also! Mario likes the idea that you can choose the classes you want. In Equador you must take the required classes they give you. He feels that Rancho is a very good school and the teachers were very helpful The other activities he was interested in were football and tennis. In Equador Mario plays rugby which is very similar to soccer. Mario stated, One of my favorite pastimes in Amer- ica is eating pizzag they don't make it back in Equador. Mario spent his year in America living with the Arnold family. Mario felt that his year in America and at Rancho was very exciting. 20 Foreign Exchange V ' -as xr .1 if I'm very excited to return home, but I will miss my family here very much. ...gk
