With great determination and effort, King Abdullaziz ibn Saud succeded in 1932 in unifying the Arabian Peninsula and founding what is now known as the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

Under his leadership and subsequently that of his sons, King Saud, King Falsal, King Khaled and presently King Fahd and Crown Prince Abdullah, the people of Saudi Arabia have witnessed one of the most dramatic modernization programs in history.

Three five-year-plans have produced among other things these dramatic results:

Desalination plant capacity: 500 million g.p/day Industrial sector production:SR25 billion

Wheat production: 2.6 million tons

Schools: 15,353

Hospitals: 224

Health Centers: 258

Roads: 32,000 km.

Agriculture roads: 60,000 km.

Leaders Offer Tapestry of Knowledge

and Experience

Weaving a Rich Tapestry of Accomplishment

on the Suez Canal, Red Sea in 1945.

Tapestries, handwoven to perfection in reversible design, symbolize the complexities, the beauty, the pattern of perfection toward which we strive in the Saudi Arabian International School, Riyadh, American Section. Elegant colors, intricately interwined, reveal a depth, richness and expansiveness - attributes of the SAISR-AM program.

A collage of international students, pre-school through grade nine, of divergent polycultural personalities, is interwoven to create a Tapestry of profound resplendence.

At SAISR-AM each student is an individually selected thread, woven into the Tapestry of the school. Each young person, introduced to a diverse and demanding curriculum, a varied activities program and a gifted staff, becomes part of the woof interlacing the warp creating the Tapestry of SAISRAM.

Mosaic of Cultures Woven into a • Global Community

We, the international community of our host country, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, are very fortunate to have traveled amidst lands far and near to experience an exotic array of cultures and customs of this world. We make friends and have a sense of peace across borders, whereas in our own home country, we would have solely learned about the history and traditions of it. These experiences have broadened our knowledge and cultural horizons. We are constantly learning more and more about the history ofthe entire world than ever imagined before. And the source to all this knowledge? The answer is obvious: the Saudi Arabian International School, Riyadh-American Section, where over 25% of the world's nationalities attend.

By: Nadia tssa - Our girls' volleyball teams returned from Jubail victorious by playing the best we've ever played in the season, The coaches, Mrs, Rehman and Mrs. McMillen, were happy to say we played much better then we practiced. Feeling the pressure of a seven consecutive year winning streak, the team members worked together and succeded in keeping the winner's tltle for an eighth year. Valerie Lemieux, Carol Donald, Kim Worley and Jaimie Birch got more serves over the net in JubaiJ than in any of our practices. Diana Larson and Cristina Zampieri became professional "bumpers" while Thalia Elias tried to set with her sprained finger. My goal was to live up to my nickname "Spike." The

Gold team's moral and spirit left a lasting impression on all teams. Deceivingly quiet in Riyadh, Valeria Meniconzi and Margaretha Van Kuilenburg kept everyone llqht-hearted with their amusing antics. Kim Millspaugh became everyone's friend by lavishly giving encouragement while Laura Whyte, Tracy Beddingfield, Tania Zarnpierl, Eleonore Stangenberg and Tanya Abdul-Ahart responded with their superlative serves. Over all we had a successful and unforgettable time.

Tapestries of Time

Weaving time like golden thread, Successful visions in my head. Scenes of future and of past,

Dreams of mine, extremely vast.

Tomorrow is routine and planned, But destiny still lies in hand.

Many decisions to be made,

Before foundations can be laid.

Still the time is soon to be, I leave my friends and family. Embark a journey all alone,

And seek new ground to call my own.

By: Warren Betts, grade 9
