only to Mission, of where 97.8%
graduate in four years.
Also, 40% of WHS students
scored higher than the national
average on standardized tests such
as SAT and ACT, and though fully
27.2% lower than Mission, WHS
scored better than the other schools
in the district
graduation rate.
Kennedy, the next highest be­

Editorial
Letter to the editor:
Redrawn boundaries will balance schools
The annual California High School Perfonnance report released
April 22 found Mission San Jose High School at the top of the list for
the FUSD in tenns of 4-year graduation rate, vocational courses,
college attendance, and high SAT/ACT scores.
These results seem to be consistent with the reputation Mission has
acquired as an academically challenging school in an upper-class area.
The results of the study raise some questions about the role socio­
economic factors play in the quality of an education in Fremont. Are
other Fremont high schools not perfonning as well in the area of
criteria because they are based in poorer economic areas?
It's frightening to think that the quality of a public education must
rely on a student's area of residence, particularly if the schools com­
pared are in the same school district. The results of the report as
printed in the San Jose Mercury News show that Mission San Jose
received a score of 55.6 in the area of students enrolled in college
prep courses, while American High School received a score of 31.
That is a difference of over 24 points between two schools in the same
district. This score gap is present in the three other areas assessed for
the report.
The recent debate in Fremont over redrawing school boundaries in
and around the Mission area is likely to gain momentum from the
release of this study. Parents allover Fremont want their kids to go to
a "good school," and from the scores Mission received on this report
it would seem that it is indeed the best. Yet, if we redrew the atten­
dance area boundaries and spread out Fremont students, wouldn't we
have a better chance of creating equality within the school district? If
we combine the different socio-economic backgrounds instead of
segregating them it would give all students throughout the city the
same opportunities.
This action would eliminate all the fuss and paper work that many
families go through each year in an attempt to transfer their student to
a "better school." Instead, movement of attendance area boundaries
would most likely even out Fremont high schools' scores on studies
like the California High School Perfonnance Report, making it im­
possible to distinguish one high school as "better" than the other.
"Once upon a Mattress" proves clever and humorous By Staci Cboe
I'm not into musicals, especially low
budget high school ones. But "Once
Upon a Mattress," Washington's frrst
musical in years, was superbly done and I
now realize that we have a plethora of
talent at our school.
The plot was an interesting Western
interpretation of the classic tale of the
Pricness and the Pea. The cute southern
accents and Western apparel grabbed my
attention from the start
The singing was excellent overall, led
by veterans Katie Jonutz, senior, and
junior Greg Lorenzana Jr. Junior Soma
Vest, who played Lady Larken, also stood
out with her pretty singing voice.
Along with the wonderful singing, the
acting abiblity of the cast was shown
through this musical. Their facial
expressions, body language, movement
and tones of voice heightened their
performance. Senior Rena Duge, who
played the Queen on April 24, was
especially humorous, with her sarcastic
tones and fast talking.
Speaking of humor, I was laughing
continuously throughout this comedic
musical. Lorenzana, who played the
prince, did a funny job portraying the
dumb-witted, obedient son of the over­
bearing Queen. Scott Schroder, who
played the sex-crazed King, also made
me laugh each time he crossed the stage
chasing after girls.
The sexual innuendos in the songs
("We're not getting any") were clever
and humorous. The Snow White and the
Seven Dwarfs song, with the short men
working one right after another, brought
tears to my eyes.
The only weakness of the production
was the monotonous set. It would have
been nice to see a bit more diversity and
versatility in the scenery. However
there's only so much you can do in the
Room 201 portable with a small budgeL
All in all, I thoroughly enjoyed the
musical. I was impressed by all the talent
that was exhibited by the drama depart­
ment and hard work they put into the
show was quite apparent. I hope our
theatrical arts in school continues to grow
and puts on more productions like "Once
Upon a Mattress."

Gay student defends columnist Dear Hatchet,
I just wanted to give major props to Bri
for her column in the last issue. She
wrote about my family, the gay commu­
nity. Finally, a high schooler portrayed
homosexuality in a positive light! For
once someone has mentioned homosexu­
ality without cracking one of those stupid
ass gay jokes.
What really made me want to write this
letter is something a friend said not so
long ago. I can still recall his exact
words, "ALL FAGS SHOULD GO TO
HELL!" And do you know what I did? I
laughed in agreemenL I didn't even fell
ashamed, mad or sad. I just laughed,
something that must have developed into
a habit. People just don't realize that the
discriminatory jokes they are telling can
be discriminating to the person they are
telling it to.
Did you know that 10% of the popula­
tion is homosexual, bisexual or has
engaged in some sort of homosexual
activity? Just think: Out of the 10 people
you passed, one of them is gay. Scary
isn't it? Just remember next time before
you tell a joke that the person on the
receiving end may be gay. Heck! Your
best friend could gay. Hey what I was
your best friend?

Letter to the editor:
Homosexuality:
"no excuse to flaunt sin"
Dear Hatchet,
I am again appalled to read the last
edition of the Hatchet. I am refering to
two articles of which I am deeply con­
cerned.
The first one is the article Bri wrote
last. I'm speaking of homosexuality. I
happen to believe in the Bible too, and I
know it is the word of God when it is
translated correctly. Leviticus 18:22 does
not read: "Homosexuality is an abomina­
tion, but since I, God, love everyone, it
makes it all right to practive and advertise
the sin as something you should accept" .
Sure God does love everyone, and we are
children of God. But I.haJ. i. no ~xc use to
flaunt sin and say that it's all right;
because God loves us, accept iL
We should love our neighbors, but we
don't have to like what they do. Should
we accept murder and thievery as "O.K."
because God loves us equally? I beg to
differ. Let us not flaunt this sin as all
right when our conscience screams it's
nOL
Next, I do not think we should advertise
the Confidential Services to Teens in our
newspaper. The phallus, first of all is not
a pretty sight to see. Second of all,
everyone knows about these services. By
advertising these "things" we are saying
it's all right to participate in premarital
sex and not accept the consequences, that
come with them. The pill doesn't always
work, condoms do not always work, and
everything is not guaranteed. What we
don't need is another abortion or another
pair of parents who are not mature or
responsible enough to raise their child.
We do not need to advertise that "it's
okay, here you go, have fun, nothing will
hapen that you can't fix."
I know that there will be a lot of
controversy about what I wrote, but it's
time somebody spoke their mind on
something they believe.

Krulc to be exchange student
By Staci Cboe
Junior Angela Krulc will be
going to Germany for a student
exchange program through the
organization Youth for Under­
standing. She leaves at the end of
August to study for a semester
until January.
There is an intense application
process to become eligible to be
an exchange student Krule filled
out an application in November
and went through two interviews,
answering questions ranging
from academic pursuits to per­
sonal interests and information.
She heard about the program
through her cousin who is a YFU
alumni.
The cost for the trip is appoxi­
mately $5700. Krule got a $800
scholarship through YFU for
being a semi-finalist for the Con­
gress Scholarship, and she also
received a $450 discount for
doing early registration. Her par­
ents are paying for the bulk of the
trip, but she will use some of the
money she earns from her job to
go towards the trip. The cost
includes almost everything, ex­
cept her plane ticket to Washing­
ton D.C. (which is where YFU
flies all participants from) and
spending money.
Krule had the option of choos­
ing from many countries that YFU
deals with.
She chose Germany because she
is in her third year of German
study, plus she also has German
ancestry. She doesn't know yet
where in Germany she will be or
who her host family will be, but
she requested to be placed in a
large city and stay with a young
couple without kids. She may not
know until a month before depar­
ture or maybe even a week; it all
depends on when they can find a
match for her.
In May, prior to leaving for Ger­
many, she will attend a weekend
orientation in Scotts Valley for
upcoming exchange students put
on and paid by YFU. There she
will meet other students in the
area who will be going on a stu­
dent exchange and will be trained
by YFU to help prepare her for the
exchange.
Krule has an admission coun­
selor for support. She can contact
her counselor anytime, whether
it's just to talk about being home­
sick, or to report any problems she
may have with her host family.
One rule that YFU encourages for

make the experience more inde­

home.
KruIc is interested in other cul­
tures and other ways of life. "j
think it will be a really good expe­
rience. It's a good way to get
ready for college and to prepare
myself to be on my own. It will
make me more independent and
self-reliant. "
The school system in Germany
is quite different from that of the
United States.
In Germany, there are two types
of high schools. One is a trade
school, while the other is one that
prepares the student for university,
which is the one she will be attend­
ing.
The courses Krule takes in Ger­
many will be transferred to her
Washington transcript. She will
take American government/eco­
nomics at Ohlone during the sum­
mer to meet a graduation require­
ment. and will also take physics
and calculus to help prepare for the
advanced courses in Germany.
Since Krule will be in Germany
duing college application time,
she has been preparing for the fall
applications now. She has taken
all her SAT and ACT tests and has
conferred with her school coun­
selor and assistant principal to get
everything prepared.
She will have her family send
the applications to her in Ger­
many, where she will fill them out
and send them back to her family
to have them sent to the schools.
