But when Penelope Barton envisions England she thinks of her birthplace and her future home. Penny is an English citizen from Sheffield, an industrial, steel produc- ing city in South Yorkshire. It is fam- ous for its cutlery trade, manufactur- ing fine ware known as Sheffield Plate, a fusion of copper and silver. Although her parents moved to the United States when she was three years old, Penny visits her rela- tives every summer. However, the summer of 1979 was an exception, Penny remained in Sheffield for a year with her grandmother, exper- iencing the English social and aca- demic life. During the summer, northern Sightseeing. One of the many fortresses built during the Norman Conquest, Berkley Castle is an example of the Norman's high masonry structure.-

Viewers use soaps in a practical way to deal with real life problems of their own, she explains. For example, people find charac- ters on soaps with problems similar to their own and use these characters as role models. Characters help by thinking prob- lems through aloud. This enables the viewer to see how the problem could be handled. The solution is often giv- en step-by-step over a long period of time. Through this process the viewer sees the many complex and confus- ing emotions that every problem generates. This helps the viewer bet- ter understand natural fears, prob- lems, attitudes and behavior. By observing current, relevant sit- uations, such as drugs, teenage preg- nancy and suicide, people can learn how to cope with these situations in their real lives and be aware of the possible consequences involved. Although the popularity of televi- sion serials has skyrocketed over the past few years, there will always be those who disapprove. RHS students Did ou hear - Diana's dead. I bet Heather did itfi are no exception. One student describes soaps as sad, morbid and ridiculous, while another feels that reality is more in- teresting. Those who don't like soaps state that they are too predictable and in- volve too many negative situations. People have enough problems of their own without taking on the wor- ries of television actors and ac- tresses, explains another student. So while viewers continue to argue about soaps, one thing is cer- tain-TV serials have given new meaning to the word soap- some- thing not used only for washing any- more. -Karen Boches . . 3 'W W Eric Beller Kathy Bender Art Bennett Jill Berg Karen Berg Eytan Berman Jeffrey Berman Louis Blank Howard Blas Mark Blaustein Denise Blickenstaff Brian Block Dana Blount Mardi Blumenfeld Steven Blumenthal Joel Boches Denise Bounds Kim Bowers Kevin Bowie Anne Bradley Don Brady Larry Brantley Debbie Brauer Mark Brodinsky Sophomores!137

Because of this, Sheffielders cannot swim outdoors, consequently, Penelope participated in other activities better suited for the weather: horseback riding on Sunday and Stephenhill Youth Club meetings on Friday- everyone I knew belonged to one youth club or another. Since schools do not sponsor clubs, the churches take this responsibility. In the Stephenhill organization, Penny marched in parades, went ice skating and took weekend trips to London, 160 miles away. She notes that Sheffield teenagers seem to socialize more than RHSers, even though in England one cannot drive until 18. And because of the lower standard of living in Sheffield, most families can afford only one car: so at 18, most Sheffielders still do not get their licenses. In the fall, she enrolled in Tapton Comprehensive School. The major difference between Tapton and RHS concerns discipline.

Thus, to one RHSer England is not just Big Ben or London Fog. Penny Barton's experiences in, England pro- vide a contrast between our own per- ceptions of England and a native's. Oh, and by the way-Penny does watch Benny Hill, and she also has seen every Monty Python movie. Sophomoresf139
