 It's thanks to Mrs. Cafiso who asked the York-Arles twinning club for an exchange student from France that I could come to the United States to spend an enjoyable year studying at Shikellamy. Changing one's country and even one's continent is a real experience because I discovered so many new things at school, in the people's habits and in the customs of the country. I like Shikellamy for its good organization and for the interesting courses that it offers, but I find that it is easy because in France studies are more difficult. I met a lot of nice people everywhere, and I enjoy the good relationship between teachers and students. Cest grace a Mrs. Cafiso qui a demande un e'tudiant francais an club de jemelage entre Arles (France) et York (Pa) que j'ai pu vemr passer cet agreable se'jour ause Etats Uniset e'tudier a Shikellamy. Changer de pays et meme changer de continent est une experience vrainent enrichissante car on de'couvre tant de choses mouvelles, du point de vue scolairre, dans les habitudes des gens et les coutumes du pays. J aime le lycee pour sa bonne organisation et surtout pour les o cours interessants qu’il affre, mais je trouve qu'ils sant laciles car en France le niveau d'etude est plus e'leve'. J'ai rencontre beaucoup de gans sympathiques, partout, et j'appre'cie la bonne entente qui nane entre les projesseurs et les e leves. Nadine with her frat American family — the Or.

lO-FORElGN EXCHANGE STUDENTS 'Sportscrazy nice people, big cars, and a great display of patriotism, that is the USA.! Yes that's what I thought before I came here, and everything is true! (Especially sportcrazy since the Phillies became World Champions!) Even though I knew about the patriotism here. I was surprised the first schoolday when all the students stood up. with the right hand on the heart and pledged the Allegiance, and after that listened to the national anthem. I've never seen such school- spirit as here, before, pep assemblies and cheerleaders don’t exist in Sweden. I would like to thank you, students, teachers, all of you working in the school. I'm happy that I came to Shikellamy. To all of you that have been thinking of going to another country as an exchange student, I would like to say: If you get the chance, take it! You can’t imagine how much you will learn and how much fun you will have that year especially if you come to a school like Shik’. Sporttokiga manniskor stora bilar och patriotism det ar U.S.A.! Ja, det var sa jag forestalldemig det, mnan jag kom hit. och alltihop ar sant! (sarskilt Sporttokiga eftersom ’ the Phillies’’ blev varldsmastare!) Aven om jag cisste detta om patriotism, blev jag forvanad forsta skildagen, nar alia elever stod upp. med hogra handen pa hjartat och svor lojalitetsforklaringen. och darefter lyssnade pa national- sangen. Jag har aldng traffat pa sadan ’Skolanda” som har forut, 'pep assemblies’’ och ’’cheerleaders’’ existerar inte i Sverige. Jag vill tacka er alia som arbetar i skolan, elever, larare och......................................................... Eva with her first American family — the Dr. Ivor Louis family

H O M E M I N G COMMENCES O This year’s homecoming from ail perspectives was a success. However, behind every success lies hours of preparation. The football team practiced for literally months for the season and the homecoming game is always a highlight. Each class worked diligently on their homecoming floats and chose their own representatives. The seniors, however, put forth the most effort in the days preceeding homecoming in preparing a float and decorating the field house for their last high school homecoming. As the gym was being prepared, the soloists along with their accompianists were concentrating on their pieces for the coronation ceremonies. The homecoming representatives were also preparing themselves for the climax of homecoming, the coronation ceremonies. 12-HOMECOMING
