The boys must wear black uniforms and their hair short. Nadine tells us that American and Yugoslavian food is very much the same. She likes what she has seen of the United States very, very much. Nadine especially likes school buses because at home she had to walk to school. which was a mile away fro her home. Also, she had to tote her bo ks all day because in Yugoslavia ther are no lockers or desks to keep them in. We at Western wish Nadine the best, and we promise to make her visit as memorable as possible. H OMECOMING October 16 l l i l 1 4 l 1 1 i fi 4 4 l i i i l A l i l 1 1 l 1 l

HIGH SCHOOL T OCTOBER 1970 EDHTURS ANNUUN ED FUR N701 Reunion in Guatmmla By joe Dawson l spent approximately ZV1 months in Guatemala. The country itself is progres- sing, although it would be quite unfair to compare it with the United States. I feel the people down there are abit friendlier. They bend over backwards for a friend, taking time out from their jobs and plansg whereas in the States, the rush, rush, rush, thing and the l'm interested in me feeling prevails. One of the largest problems of almost all Latin America countries, including Guatemala, is poverty. Overcrowding in public schools filled with poor children encourages anyone who can pay the tuition send their children to one of the many private schools. -The private schools are pretty much the same as our public schools. They have the same courses for the same age group. ln Guatemala Physical Education Class is required only once a week. l also noticed that discipline is a little lax compared to our school system. Students attend classes 4 hours in the morning, take 2 hours for lunch, then finish up the day with 2 more hours. Whenever the guys have a chance fusually during the 20 minute recess in the morn- ing! they play the favorite sport soccer. That's how l saw it, and oh yes, Carlos sends his best to all here at Western. Player of the Week Lou Poff selected by coaches r.
