W The Japanese calligraphy on the cover of the Lens reads from top to bottom, Hands Across the Pacific. Because this edition of the Lens is dedicated to Minami High School, it is only fitting that all the calligraphy and art work used in the book was done by Minami students. The pictures ot Minami High School and its students were sent to the Lens in the form of a memorial scrapbook. The contribution that Washington students made to the ,book is the collection of haikus, traditional Japanese poetry, written in the high school English classes for use on the seasonal section dividers. 1

WASHINGTON HONORS SISTER CITY Superintendent Sapporo City Board ofEducc1tion SUPeTIf1IendenI0f Portland PUIJIIC Schools Yoshio Nokaiimci MSIVIY1 Barnes Minami student body is similar in size to Washington's, numbering 1600 to Washington's 1500 students. At Minami, however, the population is rather one-sided, since the boys outnumber the girls two to one, and only one-third of the faculty are women. Both schools have benefitted recently from new buildings, although the remodeling has been more ex- tensive at Minami, as they have received a whole new school building, while Washington's new facilities consist of a new gym, and a new class- room wing with a cafeteria in the basement. Both schools hold many tra- ditions, as Minami is 76 years old, and Washington will be 60 years old in 1966. The interest of students seems to be the same the world over, but especially so, between the sister schools, the students are almost identical in their extra-curricular activities. Athletics play an important part in boosting the spirit of any student body, and the student bodies of Washington and Minami are especially endowed with capable teams and enthusiastic spectators. Minami teams participate in skiing tournaments, ice-skating during the famous Snow Festival, soccer played in an intra-mural program, judo, hand wrestling, fencing, baseball, ping-pong, tennis, track, and sculling C much like canoe- ingj. Minami students also participate in interest clubs, such as English- speaking clubs, the Tea Ceremony Club, science clubs, math clubs, and Chinese calligraphy clubs. The Japanese students also participate in many of Sapporo's parades, dressing in elaborate costumes for the School Festival which lasts four days. The sister-school relationship has developed lasting friendships among the leaders of the respective student bodies, and has caused understand- ing between the peoples of the two societies. The exchange of pictures, letters, tape recordings, gifts, and scrapbooks have strengthened the rela- tionship to the point that it is appropriate that the 1965 Lens be dedicated to Minami High School in Sapporo, Japan. 2 I
