While Cut AFS,er John Traveled to Finland I thought Tucson was a small town with wild In- dians before I came heref, laughs Ing-Britt Linderos, Catalinais American Field Service student from Sweden. Ing-Britt came from a school about the same size as Catalina but she attended school six days a week. It was surprising for her to see how familiar students are with teachers and what little emphasis students put on their studies. In Sweden, girls go with one boy but it is not seriousf, she says in regard to dating. Even a girl with a date goes places with a group of girls and meets her date theref, She enjoys singing and playing the piano in her spare time and her favorite subject is P.E. Ing-Britt concludes, In Europe everyone's dream is to come to Americaf' After three jaunts by plane and one by boat, Masud Ghani arrived from Abbottabod, Pakistan the first week in September. XJ Jl.1..f' 1 Seated in the first row are his parents, Dr. and Mrs. Veikko Valtonen, second and third from left, with their married daugh- ters and grandchildren. Servants are standing in the second row and John is fourth from left in the third row with his brothers. Tucson reminds him of home with its deserts and nearby mountains. I can't get used to dating, he says when relating his impressions of American life. In my country women are separated from the men, marriages are arranged by parents and there are no co-educational schoolsf, Masudis favorite subjects are American history and journalism while his hobbies are reading and sports. Hyvaa, paivaall' How are you?, writes John Hiatt, senior from Catalina who spent last summer and first semester in Helsinki, Finland. John had two brothers, Matti, I6 and Ville, I8 in his Finnish family, John, who learned Finnish during the summer, took ten subjects in the fall including four languages, physics and psychology. The boys, school he attended six days a week was run by a headmaster who insisted that the boys wear white shirts and ties. One of the interesting advantages in living in Fin- land is that they eat five meals a day, laughs John. j .,, , . ,--Q..,.. ., . 1-NNN .X KNEW fa... Aboard the Seven Seas enroute to Rotterdam, CHS senior AFS,er John Hiatt mans the helm and looks like a Scandinavian seaman.

Scenes Are Special After Time Elapses Everyday scenes become special when viewed through the eyes of time. Etched in our memories are the things we see during our high school years: coats stuffed in lockers when cold Weather comes . . . prom decorations that transform the cafeteria . . . books carried in both arms by girls and in one arm by boys . . . cars decorated for a drive-in pep rally . . . purses as big as suitcases . . . Trumpeteers passed out every Friday . . . paper bags popped at kick-off . . . bells that ning before we get to classes . . . pens that run out of ink in the middle of an essay test . . . empty desks the Monday after a prom . . . alarm clocks sounding at 4 a.m. on the morning of out-of-town conventions and meets . . . pizza cut with forks in the cafeteria . . . yearbooks signed with crazy comments . . . exam schedules that give us both history and chemistry tests on one day . . . voting machines set up for student elections . . . crowns glittering at the Torch Ball . . . tassels swaying to Pomp and Circumstancef'
