Faculty Basketball The teachers and custodians were decked out in uniforms in preparation for a good basketball game. With faculty consisting mostly of coaches, the custodian ' s out look was not bright. The custodians showed more heart and determination and pulled out a slim victory with a final score of 36-34. All of the crowd agreed that the players played up to their po- tential of unexperienced basketball players. The game was enjoyed and helped University City High School begin another tradition. Mr, Tafoya and Bruce go for the jump ball. Zeek shows original style in a leap shot. Custodians anxiously await the winning shot. i M Sl 80 Staff eagerly awaits the end of the game Coach Vukojevich makes a shot from the line.

Students From Other Countries Bjorn Romberg, Drahoslav Ljm, Anne Hole Ann Hole is student from Norway coming to San Diego with her family because of her father ' s employment. Ann ' s interests consist of going to parties and listening to music. Some of her favorite groups are The Talking Heads and David Bowie. Some of the changes in Ann ' s life are her school day as in Norway they are required to attend seven classes in a very large school with the class periods being shorter. It ' s nice here but I wouldn ' t want to live here in the U.S. forever because! miss Norway , commented Ann. Bjorn Romberg is from Sweden. He and his family are here because they wished to retire in the United States and decided to settle here in San Diego in 1980, Going to school here is aca- demically harder but more fun stated Bjorn. In Sweden, students do much the same as they do here such as going to parties, movies and listening to mu- sic. Bjorn enjoys listening to New Wave as well as playing soccer and skiing. Drahoslav Lim is involved in many different activities such as music, having played in a dance band in Czechoslovakia, playing soccer and electronics, Drahoslav has found that living in San Diego is drastically different than his native Czechoslo- vakia. 79
