SX IQUNXX- - 7 as - ' A TALE OF TWO COUNTRIES My family immigrated to the United States from Canada a few days before I began my seventh grade year. After living in a small university town in northern Idaho for two years, we moved to Iuneau, the capital of Alaska. There I attended and graduated from high school. The fall following high school graduation I became a student at the University of Alaska near Fairbanks and shortly after the completion of my freshman year there, I turned eighteen years of age. Having attained that age I immediately became eligible to apply for a driver's license and American citizenship. While spending the summer in Iuneau I started working on the requirements for both. Since the rest of my family was moving to South Dakota during the summer and it was unlikely that I would he returning to Iuneau in the future, the immigration officer there graciously tried to push all required paperwork through as quickly as possible. I easily passed the requirement that I be able to speak, read, and write English since that was my native tongue. I also easily passed the test covering knowledge of United States government which I had been thoroughly trained in through high school history and civics classes. For the third requirement I needed two United States citizens who had known me personally without interruption for five years. These persons were to vouch that I had good moral character and had been an upright resident of the United States during their acquaintance with me. Two of my friends who had attended both high school and university with me served as the needed witnesses. The final action required to become a citizen was to he sworn in as a citizen by a federal iudge and to receive my citizenship papers from him. Usually new citizens are sworn in in groups, but since I did not plan to again be in Iuneau, the federal judge headquartered there agreed to swear me in by myself. Thus it was that, three or four days before I was to return to the university, I was sworn in as an American citizen in the federal court at Iuneau and challenged to he an exemplary citizen in an address given hy the iudge. The lone witness of this important-to me-occasion was my high school Sunday school teacher. - Mrs. Virginia Taylor Vvkry A X N X ilisgsf t.f.

'fb-M ani-, 5 I THE SURVIVORS rs coming to birth , For each age is a dream that is dying or one that The new school year brings many changes for the seventh graders. Changing classes, getting lockers, maneuvering down a crowded hall- way, attending pep rallies, and joining organizations bring not only new freedoms, but also new re- sponsibilities. Amidst this barrage of new adjustments, first impres- sions are formed. Dana Slayton thinks surviving is what it is all about. When I first came to WHS I loved it! All the teachers and stu- dents were nice. D.l. Fairall says, lt was a maze of halls, doors and lockers. I thought it wouldn't be any fun. I was just a little seventh grader. lt's alot better now. My first impression was WOW!, said Tina Love. I almost got squashed trying to get to class but high school is fun anyway. In their second year of junior high the eighth graders focus more on their dreams. Doctors, nurses, pro- fessional football players, and the President of the United States are just a few of their dreams. Some others are astronauts, teachers, and service men. Shannon Mosley says she wants to go to college and after that, I want to reach for the stars and grab them at NASA where I want to be another Sally Ride. Michelle Kling wants to be- come a kindergarten or preschool teacher because she enjoys being around small children. To join the Navy is the dream of Adam Perry. Adam loves to ride on boats be- cause the ocean is beautiful. Above: Richie Iones is a guy who can't stand to be boxed in. After he finishes high school, which he is determined to do, he hopes to gel a job working outdoors. Left: Struggling down the crowded hall- ways, losh Brown and Ryan Caudill are really trying to get to class on lime. Hope- fully, the new school will help solve this problem. 123
