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.
