students with knowledge of important notices
and guidelines
when choosing their major. Many parents of high-school students
claimed to have had great gain form
the all - inclusive and comprehensive talk. After the speech ended, there were still quite
a few parents who were hesitant to leave and stayed to discuss

hour before it officially ended . We thank Professor Peng for his
kind help and support for our school.

and accomplishments , she has proven herself to be of excellence
and of eligibility . Congratulations to Jannie Tsuei and may she
have a great time in her college years!
Elementary Department Drama Program Enriches Student's
Minds

whispering of fallen golden
leaves swirled near , the students of
Elementary Department
enjoyed the performance of many talented actors and actresses.
Students of the Bilingual and Kindergarten Departments were also
cordially invited to attend. The first of these series of production
was The Special Horse Catching Force
presented by the If
Children's Drama Group on November 16th . Following
this
spectacular performance was
the play Toyota's Blessing,
performed by the Chwen-Ching Foundation on November 20th.
The grand finale was The Happy Well performed on December

enthusiasm no doubt enriched the hearts and
minds of every
student.

21st Anniversary

music warmed the audience, and the audience showered the band
with praises as our students opened the lighting ceremony with
Centuria.
Bilingual Department Chinese Presentation
The elementary students of the Bilingual Department have always
been quick and eager learners of the Chinese language. To display
the results of their learning , they
held their annual Chinese
presentation on November 27th . Not only did
teachers and
students devote themselves entirely to practicing but parents also
did their best to help. For example, the first graders performed
" The Mouse's Bride," a well-known folktale. In order to recreate
the atmosphere of a traditional Chinese wedding, parents prepared
decorative hangings , trumpets , cymbals , and gongs and even
borrowed a palanquin to carry the bride in. The children attired
themselves in traditional garments and held
a loud wedding
onstage . To the teachers, seeing the enthusiastic participation of
students and parents was a reward in itself.
"Fly So High"-Aerospace Research Club Launches Rockets
Our school's Aerospace Research Club
presented the results of
their research on December 15th , firing the model rockets they
painstakingly designed for weeks at the school field. In order to
reduce the weight of the rockets , students used paper and plastics
as their materials . Besides the rockets
, they also designed
peripherals such as ignition systems and triple-track trackers to
assist the rockets in their flight. With everyone's cooperation, the
rockets took off successfully. Several rockets are to be improved
and launched again on December 26th. The president of the club is
Experimental senior Shih-ming Hsieh , and the teacher advisor is
Mr. Chien-Hui Shih. Besides learning theories, the club focuses a
great deal on actual experimentation. There are thirty members at
present , including both high
school and junior high
school
students . As there are only
two female members , girls are
encouraged to join.
High School Choir Performs Superbly in Competition
The NEHS High School Choir
attended the 2001 City-wide

Child Is Born" and a Taiwanese folk song, the choir managed to
enter the finals , which are scheduled for March next year. The
choir teacher Ms. Chang indicated that success for the choir had
not been easy. The choir practiced usually on Saturday mornings.
The students' passion for singing , Ms. Chang
adds , is what
motivates her to use after-school hours for practice. Our gratitude
goes out to Ms. Chang , whose
contribution made the choir's
spectacular performance possible . (English editors: Jean Yang,
