CULTURE SHOCK “Did you hear his accent? It’s so neat!’’ Many students enjoy talking to foreign ex- change students for one reason or another. Kristy Mi- chaels likes the program because, “you can learn so much about different coun- tries and cultures. Besides, some of those guys are really cute.’’ Other people ask for help with their Spanish or German homework. This year we’ve had five ex- change students who have traveled far from home to learn about life in the United States. Cova, a senior from Spain says, “I love it! All the people are so friendly here. The other students are: Eulalia Torello Sibell from Spain; Atle Messel from Nor- way; Alexander (Sascha) Furst from Germany; and Annesofie Karlsson from the Nether- lands. Atle finds many differences between life in Norway and life here. He says, In Norway we have ten minutes to relax between classes and teachers run around changing classes instead of the students. The good thing about classes here is that you see new faces in each class.” Eulalia says, “I like it here at Baker very much and I enjoy going to the football games because we don’t have football in Spain.” Katie Brady Can you deci- pher this? “Jeg liker meg veldig mye over her in Amerikan. Jeg har moet en masse hyggelige mennesker.” ATLE mESSEL Here he is again, Atle Messel, seen in the halls of B.H.S. almost caught lis- tening to that Walkman. Foreign Exchange 7

jonal ... Or was it? This year’s fest was down in beer sales and up in age. Mike Saggese said it wasn’t as great ’cause they up’d the drinking age. But that wasn't the only thing to be found at the fest. Several clubs and organiza- tions, this year, were found selling pizza, and raffle tickets, as well as running gantes. The weekend enter- tainment was provided by J.T.S. Music in addition to the German band and Festhaus dancers. Though the age was up and the rain came down, the fun still shown through. Friday ►peaking evening began with a vast display of fireworks, while Saturday night all the college returns crowded around the Welcome Arch. Lisa Pratt said, “It was a great time for seeing all your friends and visiting those home from school.” Oktoberfest is fun for people of all ages. During the day, you can see families eating, and the older crowd dancing. It’s a weekend of relaxation and a time when the commu- nity gets together for a great time. As Jesse Collins says, “It's three days of pure social ecstacy!” Sherri Decker Traaifs Soeak 4 Drink up! Pepsi that is. Or maybe you’d prefer Sprite. Sherri Decker At night college kids return for a weekend of festing. wmM i lii Mrs. Luther looks all tired out and maybe a little frustrated from serving food to the community. Mike Clayton, Tammy DeMaio, Mike Laquidary and Kim Presley display their personality for us. Oktoberfest 9
