From all indicators, anything was accepted as long as it covered the knees and shoulders. Imports from the east and west found their way to Riyadh. Students sported their individual favorites as well as the ever-popular name brands. e New velcro fastening shoes are appearing as much as traditional ties. Everyone’s wearing them!

Walking to school was almost unheard of. For some, life en route to school and home was the most interesting part of the day. Plans were made, studies were finished, music was enjoyed, and often unexpected adventures “in the fast lane” around Riyadh were encountered. 12 Bussing 2:35 p.m. signals the exodus to the parking lot. All students are collected behind the school. Near an over-heated bus. Chris Rohlfs and Brandon Ramos make plans for tomorrow.

Because the population was spread to every corner of Riyadh in villas, apartments or on compounds, it was impossible to tell all. One thing could be said ... it was unusual compared to life back home, be it North America, India, or the Far East. Pleasures and pastimes were fully enjoyed by our students. Most compounds had swimming pools, playgrounds, and tennis courts. Motocross and BMX were popular, as well as rock bands and ballet. Dances were given at compounds instead of at school. Jon Richardson?? Whoever it is shows that tennis requires readiness and balance. Providing DJ delight at a compound dance are Tom Capling and Rob Dube.

The department, under the continued leadership of Carolyn Hembree, teaches everything from basic grammar to research writing to the gods of Norse mythology. The nine conscientious instructors had a common goal — to prepare their students to excel in English. Two new teachers were added to the staff, but no major curricular changes from the year before were made. A rs. Hembree tries in vain to aid a helpless child . Ms he began writing his term paper. Handy Fadil found he didn’t know how to write a bibliography, so he sought help from Mrs. Hembree in the library A.Wrs.

Return of the Eddi Miller Leads The Alliance 9 Strong leadership in this year’s multi-national student body was promoted by the example the junior high administration set. A great concern for the campus, the pro-grams, and the students was evident in the high profile Mr. Eddie G. Miller, Mr. Frank Russell, and Mrs. Joyce M. Greaves kept. Expansions of academically-oriented programs, extensive extracurricular activities, and an intensive ESL program enhanced the year. According to Mr. Miller, “Challenges are here for everyone.” After two years as deputy superintendent in charge of curriculum and personnel, Mr. Eddie G. Miller is happy to be back in his old principal's role. Assistant Principal Mr. Frank E. Russell continues to keep the junior high functioning in tip-top shape. A new responsibility for Mr. Russell this year is computerizing schedules and student data. a Mrs. Joyce M. Greaves is assistant principal in charge of student affairs. In her fifth year at SAIS-R she thinks the school is “more efficiently run for everyone.” Junior High Administration 65 Needs get heard, met easily On A One-To-One Basis The support personnel in the junior high are popular with the kids for a very good reason — it’s a one-to-one relationship. Working hard to meet the special medical, academic, and personal needs are the school nurse, counselor, and resource teachers. Ranging in service to SAIS-R from one to four years, these people are dedicated professionals who enrich the school program offered to all. Mrs. Shirley Jacobs, the 6-9 school nurse, reads a professional manual. Sometimes she is busy doing eye screening or audiograms for students. Breaking from preparation for standardized testing, Mr. Tim Hansen, counselor, prepares a late-arriving student's schedule. Mrs. Dorothy Sherling is a resource teacher for the junior high. She tries to improve students’ abilities in seventh and eighth grade math as well as in ninth grade English. ►Mrs. Sue Hale, 7-9 resource teacher, uses varied individualized techniques to help students overcome difficulties in learning. 66 Junior High Support Personnel s Supply clerk, Mrs. Kathy Dube tries to keep the staff happy by having materials duplicated and supplies distributed on time. ■ Taking a telephone call is Mrs. Edie Truett, junior high secretary. She is mainly responsible for seeing that all letters and memos from office personnel get typed and distributed. After school Mrs. Truett is the cheerleader sponsor. Junior high receptionist Mrs. Nell Osborn records attendance as one of her duties. ■la Office manager and personal secretary to Mr. Miller is Mrs. Joyce Knittel. She is a mainstay of the junior high and a veteran SAIS-R” of five years. a Mrs. Martha Thompson, permanent sub, has a variety of duties in a day. If she is not in the classroom, she's busy in the office or library. aMrs. Diana Bennett, permanent sub, finds time to discover computers at school. Office Staff 67 School-wide Libraries Offer More than Books aAssisting over 700 students in the junior high are Mrs. Sue Branchaud, aide, and Mrs. Marilyn Jarrett, librarian. Sixty-one classes of grades 1-3 keep the primary school librarian and aides occupied with bo work. Seated: Mrs. Joanne Carrigan and Mrs. Mary Wright, librarian. Standing: Mrs. Bert Cooper and Mrs. Marilyn Dillane. aIntermediate school librarian Mrs. Carolyn Curlin and Mrs. Carolyn Rudy, aide, provide lessons in obtaining all sorts of information as well as helping teachers with A-V and media materials. Library use is begun in pre-school and kindergarten where the children are taught by Mrs. Louise Rawlings. Library services are rounded out with the work of A-V co-ordinator Mrs. Sandy McMillan, secretary Mrs. Lynn Kirksey, and director Mrs. Sandra Russell. The four school libraries function to give students the best opportunity for selfenrichment and offer a host of material for developing knowledge. 68 Library Services Class of 1984 Grade 9 Passes Through SAIS-R To Next Adventure • Volleyball teammates enjoy a break in the Riyadh tournament.

Russell this year has been to enable the school to operate at full space capacity without sacrificing program quality and integrity. Over 2,700 students were in attendance. Dr. Russell and his administrative staff worked to establish an action plan which would provide SAIS-R the opportunity to have enough space to accommodate all students seeking admission to school this year and during 1984-85. The Board of Education and the Ministry of Education also were involved in these deliberations. Throughout the year, Dr. Russell related to the Board of Education information about finances, personnel, curriculum program and required planning and development. In his second year as superintendent, he finds many positive things about his assignment: the capabilities of the administrative and teaching staff, and the community support from parents. Dr. Russell again reminded that, “for all of us — our reason for being here, the reason for the existence of this school — is to meet the needs of the students.” He congratulated the graduating ninth graders and the entire student body for the success of another SAIS-R school year. nMrs. Kathy Duke, personal secretary for Dr. Russell, works at compiling school documents, typing and distributing letters from the superintendent, and scheduling Dr. Russell’s appointments. Mrs. Judy Albin is the secretary for the Board of Education. Before school she holds another job as the school-wide substitute teacher coordinator.

The clarinets were in our class as well as the only alto clarinet in the intermediate band. Our favorite class was Enrichment. In this class one student was a chairman, and four students were on his her committee. They decided on a fun activity once a week. In Arabic we were not terribly good, but we improved. We were also fourth in kickball. Mrs. Carothers was a very nice teacher. She never gave too much homework.

WHO CAN FORGET . In Science we really “turned on” with our electricity unit — airplanes buzzing, robots blinking, and quizboards that even stumped Dr. Curlin! On Mock Disaster Day we used our first aid skills to bandage wounds, splint broken bones, and give artificial respiration. After reading the Rats of Nimh and seeing the movie, we had “Popcorn and Peanut-Butter-Kiss-Cookie” sessions to plan how to teach our hamsters to read. We created miles of tunnels for their mazes after studying theories of learning. We passed hundreds of vocabulary tests and even more “1 -minute” timed tests in math. We even made our own 6H yearbook. Megan McCusker practices first aid bandaging on Kitty V. 's elbow during science. Quiz whiz Apu Paul shows how to get his original vocabulary quizzer to light up.

We had many projects this year. The class tried such things as choir, band, library, centers, poetry, math games, science experiments, social studies models and charts. Some games were Mountain Climbing, Jackpot, and Silly Sentences. On Halloween we played Mask Masquerade at our party. In the Turkey Trot, though we got fifth place, we still had good feelings about it. We congratulated our runners for doing a good job and for trying. After all, that’s what school is for, isn’t it? The teacher also had jobs for us like messenger, the board person, line leaders, monitor, and the helper. It helped us become organized. We had many nationalities in our class: German, Swiss, American, Canadian, Filipin-o, Australian, Jordanian, and Pakistani.

We did some really exciting things this year. We learned lots of things about computers. We learned how they work and how to make them work. We had a big Halloween party and a parade. We went on a field trip to Ericsson Company. We found out a whole lot about telephones and how they work. We did a Christmas play too. We also made creative writing books. We could write in them anything we wanted to. This year our biggest goal was organization. We worked on keeping our classroom and our things tidy. It was a big responsibility, but we did very well. We also had a stamp club in our class. We made a book for Mrs. Rubing to keep our extra stamps in. During our period for stamp club, we were allowed to trade our stamps and to put some in Mrs. Rubing’s book if we wanted to. Most of the children who have stamps had a lot of fun.

Walking down a hall in SAIS-R, a visitor saw the Class of 5G in C-2-13. The Class of 5G was listening, sharing, laughing, enjoying, and learning. The visitor could not believe it when suddenly the Class of 5G invited him into the classroom. He was carried to science centers, creative writing corners, and map study areas. During social studies, he used the language master, over-head and the micromatic. He participated in recreational reading as well as reading for a purpose. He also joined in a Spelling Bee. Finally the visitor asked, “Why would you choose to work so hard?” The Class of 5G matter-of-factly replied, “As the labor, so the reward.” Melissa Bowman Samir Chaudhary Matt Clasen Karim Esmail Aamir Jawed Jenny Kalling Jessica Lofstrand Lisa Lozo Julie McDonald Paul Mackrell Luna Myleno Magpili Sarah Maywood Benoit Moreau Mustafa Naqvi Andy Patton Christa Shanley Andrew Stroot Scott Whitten Bettina Wurtz Heran Yilma Manny Zerka 144 5G Developing social, educational skills Students Strive Hard To Reach Goals Mrs. Melita aStudents study a Roman civilization map.

Mid-year Move Drums Up Excitement Joyously 5J started its journey through the 1983-84 school year. Judging the teacher a Jonah for the students was an easy task. What a bunch of “jewels” jabbered the teacher to herself. Jumping right into difficult jobbers brought us all to a jolting jam-up. The jury was consulted, and the findings were just. Juggling was in order, and soon things were jiving. Joyous now, altogether, we were Johnny-on-the-spot for each jamboree. Our jaunty drummers kept jazzing up the class with their high jinks. Jesting and joshing seemed justified for our joy ride. June found us a bit jagged around the edges, and the jitters joined us as Judgement Day might prevent a jubilee from being 100% complete. By jove, jolly faces abounded when all jetted to the top of their class for a jubilant placement in sixth grade.

Our class had ten girls and twelve boys from Canada, Korea, Finland, Taiwan, Bangladesh, Japan, Sweden, India, Lebanon, Egypt, Iran, Thailand and the United States. We all tried, and everyone had some problems, no matter how smart they were, but we worked them out in 4D because we were all friends. Our favorite classes were Creative Writing and “Flex.” During these classes we stepped into our imaginations. Our desk tops became a magic carpet which carried us on a great adventure. Our “own space” on the floor was a monster den ... or a jungle ... or a bubble gum factory! In “Flex” we made anything from a “warm fuzzy” to a “glurp,” and we were always amazed by what different feelings we each had and what unique individuals we all were!!

Our classroom was 4E. We had students from all different countries. We tried to do things right. We had good workers. Our studies included math, reading, science, social studies and English plus specials. The favorite class subject was math. Class 4E did many reports and made projects along with them. When they made the reports, they did an outline first. One of the important things worked on this year was getting along with one another. We learned lots of other neat things. In art we learned how to make projects. In Arabic we learned about the Arabic language, so when we go back to the States, we can teach our friends. Also we had an after-school specials program. The specials were tap dancing, French, and Tae Kwon Do. Mr. Morganstern taught the dancing. In class 4E we made many interesting posters and papers showing the different seasons and holidays. On the counter-top in our room was an ant farm which showed us how ants lived and worked in their little ant world. Throughout the classroom were very nice students and a teacher. We liked our school. Also the principal was very nice to buy us all the instruments which were used by the school band. The thing about 4E is that we worked hard, and we tried to finish everything. And that’s what made us a good class. Mr. Jack Morganstern 4E Hard workers plus We Try To For Yan Vaillancourt, thinking comes more easily when he is relaxed at his desk.

We progressed at rates that enabled us to feel comfortable and successful. These programs also allowed us to participate in decisions concerning our education. We were pleased with our spelling and mathematics programs and the knowledge we gained by the end of the year. Nadda Elhaj and Brigitte Gosselin do solfege hand signals as they sing Doe. A Deer.

Two of our class projects produced outstanding results. The first was a letter writing project. We wrote to our favorite authors. As of this date, we have received responses from Shel Silverstein and Charles Schultz. The second project was referred to as “The Butterfly Caper.” Many students brought caterpillars to school. These were placed in a terrarium. Five or six managed to escape from the terrarium and formed their chrysalises on bulletin boards, book shelves, and on papers on the desk. During October, November, and December they hatched to become beautiful butterflies, which we freed. We, the students of 4K, had a very successful year.

Sponsored by the Corps of Engineers, the October 8-12 FPW introduced children to the workings of a fire truck and instructed them on fire safety. Lessons about fire hazards were discussed, and the children learned that preventing fires was the best lesson of all.

Their instruction was fundamental, first in importance. They were the Primary School. The five grades, PS-3, were led through their first year as a unified group by Principal Scott Chambers and Mrs. Marti VVittnebel, assistant principal. Though they underwent more change and expansion than the other schools, the year ran smoothly for them. Assistant principal Marti Wittnebel receives great satisfaction in helping the “little people. Mrs. Wittnebel has been with SAIS-R, previously as an instructor, since 1976. In his first post as principal, but fourth year at SAIS-R, Mr. Scott Chambers finds that in a school this size “the work is never done.” Ordering, repair requests, parent conferences, and teacher evaluation name a few of his responsibilities. Mrs. Maureen Bowen, primary school receptionist, looks up from proofreading her typing. She assists Mrs. Lloyd in managing the office. Secretary for the Primary School is Mrs. Isabelle Lloyd. Her job is a constant challenge due to the steady growth of the school. 180 Primary School Office Understanding — the way to a child Refining and enriching the learning experiences in this school was a goal each of these specialists tried to obtain this year. Children in grades PS-3 came with problems or needs which were met by these “understanding” people as nearly as possible. Counselor for the Primary School is Mrs. Patty Bennett. Establishing an office which is “open ” to students and teachers is her goal in her first year here. She hopes that providing early intervention for students with behavioral problems will help them later in school. Nurse Mel to the children in PS-3 is Mrs. Melvina Brown. She is a friend to all the students and invites them to learn about doctors and nurses in her office. Nurse Mel makes it known that she is there when they need her. As a resource teacher for the younger children, Mrs. Torgun Austin enjoys watching their progress. Help is what she provides in her fifth year at SAIS-R. In trying to obtain her goal of helping each student reach grade level in reading, resource instructor Mrs. Debbie Standen works with Zerhan Khan. Mrs. Standen taught junior high resource last year. Special Services 181 Services Rendered By Pro’s Correcting speech problems, being on call daily for substituting, or coordinating the all-elementary reading program components were jobs performed this year by a highly qualified group. They bolstered services to students and provided necessary help for teachers. Speech therapist Mrs. Nina Cameron works with students school-wide. In her second year here, she finds satisfaction in helping children overcome speech problems. Mrs. H. Joan Miller, reading facilitator for PS-6 coordinates and organizes the various materials for each reading level. Mrs. Miller has worked in the SAIS-R elementary school for four years. For her next assignment, permanent sub Mrs. Mary Ellen Smith readies the needed materials. Substituting is a demanding job requiring a variety of skills. ►Mrs. Lydia O’Connor, permanent sub, reviews last year’s yearbook to refresh her memory of names and faces. Duplicating aide Mrs. Veronica Sharp prepares to make copies of needed materials. 182 Primary School Specialists The instructional and clerical aide program in the elementary school is very valuable to all. The time spent on clerical duties and individual tutoring by these women allows the classroom teacher time to better prepare for the whole class and to see that all needs are being met. Providing help in the Activity Room is Mrs. Debbie Winn. She is the special activities teacher for kindergarten. Mrs. Joan Hurt, supply clerk, collects and distributes supplies, reproduces teaching materials, and supervises halls. aKindergarten instructional aide Mrs. Francesca Barbcro has varied responsibilities, and sees to it that every child is helped.

Contracts in all subject areas was this year’s craze. They helped 3B organize themselves so they knew where they were, where they were going, and where they went. Homework was easier to keep up with, and these contracts allowed for an individualized learning experience. -3B—3B—3B- Through the use of team-teaching with Mrs. Kam-Locascio’s class an extensive and effective approach to learning took place. Putting two heads together produced positive and exciting class themes and ideas. Our Thanksgiving Feast was a successful example, and an extensive science and social studies program was one of the benefits too. Teaching was enjoyable and easier this year because the students of 3B had a great sense of humor, an eagerness to try new things, completed tasks with a sense of pride, and had the willingness to help each other. Certainly one of the big topics of discussion throughout the year was Mrs. Borys’ pregnancy. Being the flexible class they were, 3B adapted to the new ways of Mrs. Rangus who completed the school year. The skill of paying attention is practiced by these boys in Mrs. Borys’ class.

On United Nations Day we had an International Lunch In. We each brought a dish from our own country. We made a cookbook, too. Our class did many fun projects. For example, on Thanksgiving we had a puppet show, and all of the classes came over to watch it. We enjoyed our classroom all year. aAnders Lindberg listens to the report.

We spoke different languages too. Our class decorated the room for lots of special occasions, like “Corn Day” when the boys did an Indian dance, and the girls told about the special corn products we tasted. We invited the “pilgrims” in 3C. It was an experience for the other people from different countries to celebrate Thanksgiving. It was fun because we dressed up like Indians. Some of our seasonal decorations hung from the ceiling like cats, turkeys, and stars. Our teacher said that one of the most important things we had learned this year was to have a good sense of humor. This meant we had learned to laugh at ourselves and with each other. She said this was very important to know as we grow up. A glossary proves helpful for Donnie Tate. Mrs. Emler offers math help to Joy Wilson as Aljandra Peralta watches closely.

DiNello BE—3E—3E—3E aKnowing concentration is the key to good work, Sejal Dharia does her English. The children of 3E emerged from their third grade year feeling like accomplished authors! The first major writing task undertaken by the group was the compilation of an international cookbook. The cooperation of the parents enabled the youngsters to produce a fine “first work” that was much in demand about campus. In conjunction with their cookbook effort as well as their study of the early settlement at Plymouth, the children enjoyed an Interna- tional Thanksgiving Feast. They dressed as pilgrims and Indians for the banquet. The 3E students put their creative writing talents toward weekly assignments ranging from topics as varied as “Seasonal Poetry” to “What to Do with Broken New Year’s Resolutions.” From research projects to campus interviews, they did a superlative job of putting exciting ideas to the printed page!

The various nationalities were American, German, Turkish, Jordanian, British, Ghanaian, Lebanese and Swedish. Although we came from differ- ent cultural and language backgrounds, we also learned that we had a lot in common. P.E. was voted to be the favorite subject. Legos, Atari, and soccer were our favorite games. Weekly creative writing and activity projects were enthusiastically enjoyed by all. 3G had lots of fun together. aHenrik Braedt creates a yarn elephant. aReady for her performance behind the puppet stage of the “Play Theater is Berna Can.

Our class made puppets and wrote monologues to introduce the puppet characters we created. Later in the year we wrote a class play and presented it to the other third grade classes. In social studies we studied all about various types of maps and made our own elevation maps, maps of our own special island, and topographical maps. We especially enjoyed making Indian pudding and butter for Thanksgiving and sharing our goodies with another class.

Though many cultures were represented, our class blended nicely into a family. This year we had third-grade pen pals from the state of Indiana. We exchanged pictures, cards, school photographs, and videotapes. We all learned a great deal about each other, our countries, and our world. Our class did various activities in the area of social science — map-reading, learning continents and oceans, finding Indiana in the U.S., and working on “centers.” We discovered many things about this world.

We were different since we came from many different countries, but we were all good friends. We had different art projects; we celebrated each birthday.

By the end of week one our enrollment had increased to 20. 3M contained six different nationalities. We had been in Saudi Arabia from all our life to a few days before enrolling. On Thanksgiving we tasted foods native to America. Students worked independently on Science Search Books. We made a booklet about the planet and worked on a model of the solar system. At Yuletime each child wrote about what he or she would give to the world to make it a better place and to make people happier all over the world. aAsha Mashaka listens to Mrs. Nasir as Salman Querishi attempts the task at hand. -3M a Mrs. Kathleen Nasir Mrs. Nasir carefully explains the lesson.

We learned lots of things. One of our favorite things to do was decorate the room. We made things for the bulletin boards, and sometimes we put our papers on the wall. When we finished our work, we had free time, and we drew or read or made things. We liked second grade best of all. A science filmstrip captures everyone’s attention, even Mr. Sexauer’s.

We had different groups in math and phonics. Math time-tests made us think. Our class had done some stories and poems. Some of us learned E.S.L. We did a lot of extra work. Sometimes when we were done with our work, we would do SRA and sometimes do Word of the Week. One of our favorites we have done in school is brainstorming. Some of us got over 150 things that are round in shape.

Writing numbers and telling time were fun things to do. Phonics was fun too. We liked celebrating holidays together and learning about each other’s special celebrations. We got to know customs from all over the world. Hythm, Charlotte, Maha, Ernest, Mohammed, Jayeta, Omar, Michelle and Adnan spoke more than one language, and we learned from them. Jason loved to share stories, and Heather J. showed us her dolls. John told us jokes. Finally we all liked our teachers — some loved them.

We had three “lefties” in our class, and no one wore glasses! We were members of the Scholastic Book Club and loved to order books. For Halloween, Mr. Wilbert Chenoweth, one of our fathers, came and put on his make-up in front of us and, in costume, blew up animalshaped balloons for each of us. That was fun! For Christmas we each brought in socks and hung them on our fireplace for “Santa Saad” to fill before vacation. So, are we special???
