TIME CAPSULE SHOWCASE
BOHS celebrates 30 years with a time capsule filled with campus memories to be uncovered in 2049 by CAROLINE DE MASI, Staff Writer
The Wildcat cheer team lined both sides of the audience to welcome arriving spectators to the time capsule ceremony. A table decorated with student-made memorabilia sat upon the stage set in front of the Wildcat statue, and among the display was the time capsule. On the afternoon of Dec. 10, people from all over the Brea community gathered to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the 789 Wildcat Way campus with a time capsule exhibition. Throughout the few weeks leading up to the ceremony, Kara Dietz, originator of the time capsule project, worked with faculty, administration, and ASB to curate a collection of over 60 keepsakes unique to this school year. Emily Allen, ASB president, said, “It helped me realize that there are so many people who make Brea, Brea, and it helped me learn more about people and their impact here.” Allen mentions that she looks foward to returning to BOHS in the future to see the capsule and reminisce. Brad Mason, BOUSD superintendent, shared the history of BOHS and the development of its two campuses throughout the past century. He also took time to acknowledge notable members of the audience, such as BOHS alumni and members of the City Council and the School Board. Dietz had a unique connection to the campus which she expressed in her speech, “My first year of high school was in 1989 when this campus opened ... so this community and campus are near and dear to my heart, so I wanted to do something special to commemorate 30 years of Wildcat memories.” The time capsule, buried in an undisclosed location on campus, will be unearthed in 2049.
BOHS welcomed Japanese students from Numazu High School to the campus on Dec. 4 by pairing them up with a BOHS student to give them the experience of life as a student in the U.S. Through a program offered at Numazu High School, these Japanese students were given the opportunity to visit America and experience the contrasting cultures. When the Japanese students arrived at BOHS, the foreign students were paired up with some of our BOHS students in Japanese classes. Throughout the day, the Japanese students were able to view life on JAPAN’ S VISIT campus here at BOHS BY THE NUMBERS by following a student Japanese students VISITED BOHS buddy.

Moving periods is also very interesting because in our school system, the teachers move periods.” Koizumi was surprised by the enormous number of students that walked through the halls because in Japan, the teachers would be the ones switching periods to teach different classes. During third period, the Japanese students were separated from their student guides and took part in games of chess and card games with BOHS Link Crew to dive into the famous game culture of America. With Japan’s culture contrasting our lifestyle, this opportunity was an enormous eye-opener to many of the Japanese students. When a numerous number of Japanese students were asked what their favorite trip in California was, they immediately answered, “Disneyland, because it was very fun and exciting to come to a whole, new, different place.”
