PAGE 2 JUNE 16, 1978 THREE STUDENTS ONOMICHI-BOUND Three Madras High School students will be headed for Ono- michi, Japan next week to spend one month with families there Roger Stwyer and Cassie Caldera of Warm Springs and Tammy Brown of Madras along with Mariko Uemoto and cha perone Jeanette Cannon will pile into the car June 18 for the first leg of their trip which will take them as far as San Fran cisco. The group will spend one day in San Francisco to sight-see and then leave San Francisco International Airport for Tokyo on a non-stop flight, June 20. Since they will cross the inter national dateline, the travelers will arrive in Tokyo on June 21, nearly 27 hours later. The remainder of that day will be spent sight-seeing in Tokyo before they head for Ona- michi, which is located in South ern Japan. Onomichi is about the size of Salem and is located about 1,000 miles south of Tokyo. But with Japan’s “Bullet Train” which travels at 120 mph, the trip will take only five hours. The first students exchange took place in 1976, with Japanese students coming to Madras. Not only is the cultural exchange very important, but interna tional understanding is improv ed and the Japanese students are given the opportunity to speak and learn English. Miss Uemoto was in Madras in 1976 as an Onomichi Ex change student. After her stay in Madras she went home to finish high school and then returned to Madras to study English, at her own expense. Since she is on her own, Mariko had to seek spon sors and since her return in early 1977, has lived with four different families. The English lahguage is a very desirable and valuable asset for women who are seeking employment in Japan. Basically, only those kids whose families can afford to send them participate in the ex change program. The travel ex penses are fairly reasonable since $1,100 covers airfare, food and lodging for a month. $150 is the amount suggested for souve nirs and any extras. The three students and their ( chaperone will be living with host families in Onomichi. The three high , schoolers will be temporary full-time students at tending Onomichi East High School six days per week. The students will be able to attend elective-type classes of their choice. Beginning July 7, the group will go on a five-day sight-seeing trip to Hyoto and Nara, which is reportedly the most ancient capitol in Japan. After this trip, the visitors will return to Ono michi until July 19, travel to Tokyo, and then return to the States on the 20th. It is very fortunate that- Spilyay reporter Roger Stwyer is making the trip, as he will be able to write a first-hand ac count of the happenings. It will be like having a foreign corres pondent. Adult Learning Center Hours Beginning June 21 and through July 27, the Adult Learning Center will be open only on Wednesday mornings from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. and Thursdays from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. with an hour lunch at noon. The summer hours are an extension to the regular learning center curriculum. After July 27, the center will be closed until the fall quarter beings in late Sep tember. The 1977-1978 school year was a very busy one with à total of 122 individuals registered fall, winter and spring terms for the GED and Adult High School Diploma programs. In addition to these pro grams, the Center offered 21 classes throughout the year through Adult Education. The classes, ranging from Wasco language to photography, at tracted 384 people. KIRK RECUPERATING AT HOME Home again after suffering serious injuries in a one-car accident May 8, Oliver Kirk is in good spirits and on his way to a full recovery. Kirk was released for about a month and has to return to St. Charles Medical Center for fur ther surgery in July. The Pi-Ume-Sha committee held a benefit dinner at the Longhouse June 12 in honor of Kirk’s family. Many people at tended the lunch which brought in over $380. The proceeds were given to the Kirk family to defray the travel and living ex penses while Kirk was hospital ized. To get a taste of Japanese food, a dinner was served to students who will be going over to Japan. Pictured here is Mariko Uemoto (right) teaching Cassie Caldera (left) how to eat with chopsticks.
