TELEVISION, HAMBURGERS, AND SPORTS Exchange Student From Norway Discovers AMERICA It's a whole lot different, said Hege Huseth, talking about Stan- ton County High School. Hege learned to accept lockers to store her books in instead of car- rying around a backpack. She felt very fortunate to get to go out for cross-country and basket- ball, through the high school, since in Norway, schools don't of- fer any sports. If a person wants to participate in sports, one joins an extracurricular club. When asked about something she thought was unusual, she said, Well, we don't have trailer houses. Before coming to Amer- ica, Hege had eaten only two hamburgers. People in Norway don't eat as many fast foods or watch as much TV. Last summer, for example, Hege said she prob- ably only watched a total of sev- en hours during the whole sum- mer. Hege planned to visit Wash- ington D.C. and New York before returning to Norway. While in America, Hege's goal was to see as many places as she could and learn how Americans live. — Copy and layout by Shane Bonham Foreign Exchange r -j STUDENT LIFE '

Stuco Entertains Community With DONKEY BASKETBALL Donkey Basketball? That's right, replied Stuco members. Chuck Hottle, who sponsored Stuco, said, I thought it would be something new and interesting for the students and the commu- nity. Students and community mem- bers organized teams to com- pete in a round-robin tournament on March 25. Middle-aged dads romped over the girls' team while the boys defeated the faculty and went on to seize the cham- pionship with a win against the dads. Stuco took in $1700 at the gate for the event. After paying $933 for the Wisconsin trained donkeys, they will spend the re- maining $767 on scholarships for senior Stuco members. Stuco also sponsored dances and planned festivals with the help of the cheerleaders and pom pon girls. Mr. Hottle explained that Stu- co's main goal was to get stu- dents more actively involved in events and get ideas from them on how school can be improved. — Copy and layout by Shane Bonham Stuco Included, back row; Chuck Hottle, sponsor; Jason Davidson, Aaron Ander- son, Stephen Shepard Middle row Shew Goertzen, Lyn Kendrick.

You wake up at night in a cold sweat, sit up abruptly in your bed, remembering a critical essay is due the next day. The A” grade in English, easily within your grasp yes- terday, has eluded you again. Academics are like that — elusive encounters with ideas, facts, concepts, and personalities. Just as some- thing seems within your grasp, it retreats — hover- ing, almost within your reach, infuriating! — Copy and layout by Jorge Sandoval Photos by Sandoval. Bonham.
