HIGHLAND TS by Kathy Schwertz Newly arrived at Highland and in the United States this year are American Field Service Exchange Students. Yoko Koboyashi from Japan and Emin Zereycan from Turkey.

Michele Bradley, Yoko's "sister", is also a senior at Highland. "The main difference in your schools here," Yoko stated, "is that you have both boys and girls in the same school." She says she likes this association very much. Yoko last attended the all girl high school in Utsunomiya, Japan. Among other differences Yoko noted in Salt Lake was the large number of cars on the streets "with ..Kin ...lyi .I "S jl so few people walking." She explained that in Japan mere are so many people that one always sees the streets very crowded. The climate here seems very dry compared with her rainy homeland. She does not like the rain because they have so much at home. In Japan the men do not do any kitchen work so it surprised Yoko to se American fathers preparing meals and officiating at outdoor D3. rbeoucs Yoko, 18, will graduate with Highland's senior class but she still has one more year of high school when she returns to Japan. She says she likes it here very much and enjoys attending school in such a large new building. Emin, also 18, lives with Mr. and Mrs. R.C. Brown and his "American brother" Rick, at 2223 South 19th East. When asked about his trip to America Emin replied, "It was my first airplane trip and I enjoyed it very much."

From the ages of 5 to 12, school is required. After this, one may stop school or go on six more years. Emin last attended Talas high school, which nas about 250 students.

OLYMPUS HIGH by Pat Hogan The last week at Olympus High has proved excellent. Monday was the official opening of the Red Cross Assn. A student from each homeroom will represent the Red Cross Drive and distribute the membership pins and cards. This will be continued throughout next week. Clubs of all variations are in the process of r i VH t 4 m? 'J ' &.' being formed. This year's OH5 tennis club has really expanded. The enthusiasts are very pleased. This is true of almost every club being formed this year-- - due to the largest enrollment of our school history and the very, verv school spirited and interested pu-pils and teachers. A football game was held Friday afternoon on our field between Bingham and Olympus. Binuham edged over the Titans with a winning score of 7-- 6. A fine dis-play of football plyers and fans was observed. An assembly was presented to the student body Friday, by the Olympus High Key Club.

Sheridan I believe the first test of a truly great man is his humility. --J- ohn Ruskin The art of conversation is to be prompt without being stubborn, to refute without argument, and to clothe great matters in a motley garb. - Disraeli. Vision Screening Program to Begin In October A group of 33 volunteers, spon-sored by the Salt Lake City Alumnae Chapter of the Delta Gamma Sorority and under the direction of the Utah committee of the National Society for the Prevention of Blindness, will hold vision screening clinics for four and five years olds in the Granite School District this month. The program has the backing of the school officials, the P. T. A., and the Dept. of Public Health Nursing. The testing program is val-uable because it enables the child with a vision defect to be treated early when there is a better chance for successful treatment and before the defect becomes an emo-tional, psychological, or educ-ational handicap to the child. It also familiarizes the child with the screening procedure so that he may be more readily screened when he reaches school age. Officers of the program are: Mrs. Lawrence L. Palmer, Jr., 2248 Texas St., chairman of the Utah Committee of the national organization; Mrs. David H. Payne, 3132 Celeste Circle, project chair-man; Mrs. Kent Shearer, 1215 Third Avenue, supply chairman; Mrs. Renold L. Bowden. 422 S. 1st W., appointments chairman; and Miss Valentine Gorlinski. 326 E. South Temple, record keeper. Screenings will be held at: Magna Elem. Oct. 5; Kearns Elem., Oct. 7; Madison Elem.. Oct. 7;' Redwood Elem.. Oct. 9: Lincoln Elem., Oct 19; snerman Elem., Oct. 21; and Cottonwood Elem., Oct. 23.
