SHAW MEETS THE WORLD The 1987-88 school year was a year of broadening horizons with the world. Shaw students had an opportunity to meet, live, learn and party! with people from other countries. A Shaw faculty member had the opportunity to live work in Argentina for 6 months. The ex- changes allowed Shaw students to view the world in a new perspective while allowing the visitors to gain a greater understanding and appreciation of the Shaw experience. Brett Trebilcock, came to Shaw from Mel- bourne, Australia, where he lives with his par- ents, Colin Marcia Trebilcock, sister Kerrie, 22, and brother Ashley, 20. In East Cleveland, he made his home with Mr. and Mrs. Lynwood Billingsley and their son Germaine. From the beginning, Brett experienced the natural warmth, friendliness and curiosity of the Shaw family. ''He sounds like Crocodile Dundee , exclaimed the students. Brett re- sponded with Australian friendliness and the success of his visit was assured. Senor Bustos Exploring new cultures When Brett returns to Australia, he has one more year before starting college. He promises to return for reunions and other related events. Brett's award winning speech for the Shaw High Speech team was about his ex- perience as an exchange student. In it he pointed out that he had the opportunity to live Dr. Martin Luther King's dream of children. Black and White, going to school together. It was an unforgettable experi- ence. Seriora Senor Brett says to all: It's been fun and I couldn't have asked for a better year. I have to thank all of you for accepting me into your school and treating me so well. I know when I return home, I'm going to have lots to share. I'm going to miss a lot though, such as the friends I've made and the out- side activities I've enjoyed. Look out for yourselves, I'll miss you all. Goodbye, Brett. We hope it won't be long before you hear, YO, MATE! Bill Wake Spanish students were surprised to hear the accents of Agentina when they entered their classrooms this year. The voice be- longs to Senor Daniel Bustos from Argen- tina. Senor Bustos was here as part of the Fullright Teacher Exchange Program. In Argentina, Senor Bustos teaches at the college level. Virginia Senor, Shaw's lively Spanish teacher, spent six months in Argentina as a Fulbright Teacher. Ms. Senor was chosen to represent the United States after undergo- ing a grueling application process. Her fellow teachers had no doubts regarding her success. While in Argentina, Ms. Senor lived in LaRioja with her daughter Kyle. She taught English in high school and college. Ms. Senor feels her experience was a once in a lifetime opportunity. Her experience allows her to share a portion of the world with her students. Did he say Scott LaRock? Yes, he did. It seems that rap music is very big in por- tions of Gateshead, England. At least that's whit students discovered when Bill Wake visited Shaw High School classes. Bill was in Cleveland as part of an ex- change program which allows inner-city students the opportunity to visit America. While at Shaw, Bill participated in several talk sessions, giving Shaw students the chance to share experiences and ideas. 7
