The Lively Stones Youth Choir of Temple Baptist Church, Perris, had two such days in a row during their annual trek to Catalina Island this summer. Accompanied by their director, Bob Hunn and his wife, Carol.

Pastor and Mrs. John Lyle, and several friends including this reporter, the choir spent two July days in beautiful Avalon. Fifty departed on a Saturday morning in the "New Blue Gnu" (bus). They arrived in San Pedro only discover their boat had broken down at Catalina and a replacement had to be rented from Long Beach-Catalina Cruizes. After an hour of waiting in the By Rosangela Cecilia Police I'm the foreign exchange student from Brazil, and now I'm going to live with you for one year.

In this column I'm going to tell something of myself, of my country, our education, economy and government. I will make a little comparison between our countries. In this first meeting with you, I'm going to speak of myself, thus you will know something of my life, like I would like to know a- VIVENDO DO bout each one of you. I'm liking very much my new school, and' when we like something, we want to know everything about it. Well, let me go directly to the subject: My name is Rosangela Cealia Police (Cecilia), I'm 18 years old.

In Brazil I'm a college student of Chemestry at Mackerizie University in San Paulo. I live in Bauru in San Paulo state (like Perris in California.) I'm only child and I live with my mother, grandparents and a pretty little dog (my little sister) by the name of Sissi. Many of you can ask me, what are you doing over here, being an only child, a college student and now you leave your family and you live in California and attend a Senior High? All this for a simple reason: I have always liked to meet new people, learn their way of living, customs and culture. In my opinion, the best way to do this is to live for a time in the country I want to know about. I have always been interested PLAN FOR PANTERA Perris High's newspaper editor Neva Joanne Bennett, right, and American Field Service exchange student Rosangela Cealia Police of Brazil talk over plans for the student paper to be released monthly by the school Publication class.

The class chose Pantera (panther in Portuguese) as the special school edition's official name in honor of Miss Police who will serve as a columnist for both the Panther Patter page and the Pantera. Special student paper planned By Neva Joanne Bennett, Editor The second Thursday of each month a special four-page edition Pantera (Portuguese for panther), will be released. The remaining three weeks the regular Panther Patter page will be printed in the Perris Progress. We hope to have many new features. Among them: letters to the editor: church news, and Dear Granny columns.

Participation on the part of non- in all the countries of the U.S.A. Now I have my opportunity to know you and to feel your problems of the day. Everything here has been wonderful for us. Everything a novelty because it's different from my country. I had the happiness to find a very nice married couple (Mr.

and Mrs. Joseph R. Smith of Sun City) I found also a school that has wonderful students who have received me in a way that has given me so much happiness. I want to say just a thing: "Muito Obrigada'. thank you very much.

Rejection Empty words Of ancient prayers Drift through The cobwed infested Sepulcher of our lives. Row upon row, Our lives are arranged in order Chanting fantasies Of what we wish to be But can never be. Dried up, dusty, dying religion Synthetic lives Leading the train by the caboose. Hassled by life, forgotten by the world Never sharing, not really caring Selected, but rejected Why? The truth was with us, But we denied Him. Amazing facts revealed By Neva Joanne Bennett Last year people in Los Angeles and Orange Counties drank enough beer, wine and hard liquor to float 22 aircraft carriers.

According to the "Beverage a Southern California licensed beverage newspaper, California would rank tenth in world alcohol consumption if it were a seperate nation. In 1971, drinkers in the two counties consumed 194,560,000 gallons of alcoholic beverages out to 22.8 gallons for evry man, woman and child.

Many of the party members remained on deck.

Much to their all were drenched when the boat hit the open sea. For several, the two hour journey turned out to be upsetting experience. One Perris High Senior kept repeating, "I'm not going to get sick! I'm not going to get sick! Somehow he just couldn't convince his stomach of that fact. While in Avalon, the group was scheduled to stay at the Catalina Bible Church, once the home of a famous poet. The building has three bathrooms with showers.

On upstairs and off limits, and one, converted into a printing room, with a printing press in the shower. Upon arrival, it seemed as though all 50 wanted to use the shower at once. There was one mad dash for the bathroom door. You could never be sure whether the occupant was male or female you just had to guess and say a quick prayer. The group had about six and a half hours before curfew to spend as they pleased.

Many took in rock concerts on the beach. Some went to a movie, "God Loves in the Avalon Bowl. Others sought souvenirs. A few decided a late night swin would be in order. After a little friendly persuasion.

this reluctant reporter joined the adventurous swim enthusiasts. I ended up being attacked and shackled by several strands of free-floating seaweed and getting my only change of clothes soaked in seawater. (All of the salt still hadn't washed out.) Through a misunderstanding, we were told we could sleep until 8 a.m. Sunday morning. In reality.

Sunday School was to begin at 8 and we were supposed to vacate the premises by 7:30. We made it! Church services were held at the Avalon Bowl, where the Lively Stones performed several of their numbers. Afterwards the choir was to sing at Wrigley Plaza, but somehow an amplifier was lost along the way and the concert had to be delayed. An older member of the group burned out his expensive amplifier. His only comment was, "I think I'll drown myself!" Later that afternoon, after all the stragglers were rounded up, the group sailed back to the mainland.

Reverend Lyle, who purchased a new hat while at Catalina, joined everyone on deck to take one last look at the island.A gust of wind sent the Pastor's hat sailing over the rail to an unknown destination. Uupon docking in San Pedro, 50 weary, starving, thirsty, seasick and sunburnt travelers staggered off the boat and turned toward the bus. We just knew nothing else could happen.
