Mark Fishburn, Ryan Dun

among the
Heppner students who partic

gram between Heppner Jr.
High and Lynch Terrace Mid

They explained that the
school was a lot bigger than
Heppner and that there were
about 200 kids to each grade.
"People were nice," though,
they said.
Mark considered the weath
er the one thing that was the
most different from home.
Ryan said that the kind of
classes offered were different.
For example, instead of one
English class, there were op
tions of reading and literature
and more variety in the elec
tive classes.
Dawn noticed that "pants
were shorter" at Lynch Ter
race Middle School. They
dress according to the fads
right away and here we don't
seem to get the fads until
later. She went on to say that
she probably learned the most

about different forms of trans
portation and toured a Korean
barge.

Ryan considered the tour of

It was interesting, he said to
see "what the city was like

smaller town with more going

were cleaner and other parts
dirtier."

of things to do.
Craig Kitching, the Heppner
teacher who accompanied the
exchanges to Portland said
"The Heppner group stood out
as a good example of our kids.
As a teacher, I was proud to
have this kind of group with
me."

Two students from Lynch
Terrace Middle School, Amy
Seabruoke and Shawn Brown
stopped by the Gazelle-Times
office to talk about their home
school and their experiences
during the exchange program
with Heppner Junior High
School.
They explained that Lynch
Terrace Middle School had
about ti(H) students in sixth
through eighth grudes. Sever
al elective classes are offered
to students such as office
assistant, P. E. assistant, a
computer class, a class entit
led "You and the Law" and
another elective called "The
Force" club in which students
actually visit a police station
and learn "first hand" what is
involved in law enforcement.
More sports options are avail
able there than at Heppner
including a ski club, cross
country and wrestling.
Both Shawn and Amy said
only positive things about
Heppner. Shawn had been
four-wheeling with his host
family the Merlyn Hughes.
Amy had been motorcycle
riding with one of her host
sisters at the Ken Turner
ranch.
They described their tour of
the Kinzua mill as "loud...
dusty. ..neat."
Both said that they had

from their tour of the Schwart
meat packing plant and the
branding demonstration by
Pal Schwart. They differed In
their reactions to the exper
ience, however. Shawn said
that the branding was "neat"
and that he enjoyed trying
almost successfully-to tie the
legs of the "calf." Amy,
on the other hand, "got sick
and went to the bus" during
the branding, but still enjoyed
trying to tie the calf's legs.
Both were wishing that they
could stay longer and do more
but Shawn said that he would
still rather live in Portland
because "there is more to do
and you don't have to travel so
far to do it."
Amy said that there were
more choices at home after
school because here the
choices were just: eat pizza,
go bowling, or go to the R & W
drive in. At home, she listed
