TAKIN’ A BREAK 14 Summer Andrea Lockwood Regents have been taken, graduation ceremonies are over, and students have what many feel are the best two months of the year ahead of them. Most of us value the time to sleep late, and to take a break from our regulated school days. We have time to reflect on our past school year and prepare for the one ahead. Summer’s a time when everyone’s outdoors swimming, bikeriding, jogging, or just soaking up the rays. Other students are found working hard at part-time jobs or in summer school, but still saving time for fun. Trips are often the most memorable part of summer vacation. It’s a great chance to explore new people and places. The most memorable part of sophomore Lisa Pratt’s summer vacation was the tiring but fun band camp at the end of August. Tomahiro Harad, from Japan, sees meeting the president of Japan and coming to the U.S. as the highlights of his summer. The final days of vacation bring the New York State Fair, where many Baker students are either working or enjoying the many attractions. “YES” was a popular event at the past fair along with the favorite rides, foods, and games. As school arrives, many of us are ready to get back into classes, clubs, and sports but will never forget our great summer.

TAKE ME 16 Foreign Exchange Michelle McCormick AWAY For over thirty years, foreign exchange programs have been present in Baker High. This year we have seven exchange students whose trips have been made possible through various organizations such as Youth for Understanding and Rotary. Several countries are represented this year. From Spain both Alejandro Bourne and Javier Perez are visiting. Alejandro is a sophomore, unlike the others who are all seniors. The other students are: Georgios VaMilakis from Greece, Tomoharo Harada from Japan, Ola Olsson from Sweden, Rolf Christiansen from West Germany, and Malene Rydhard who comes to us from Denmark. Mastering a new language, making new friends, and experiencing a new culture is an exciting adventure for many of these students. As Rolf Christiansen says, “Many people in my country would like to come to America to visit. I am lucky to have been able to come, it's been quite enjoyable and I’ve learned a lot about the people.” We are proud to have come to our school and live in our homes to learn about our way of life. We hope that we have helped to make their American experience twice as nice.
