Exchom im new 99 oving to a new coun- try can be a trau- matic experience, considering the tasks involved: learning a new language, new life- style and meeting new friends. This year El Dorado welcomed four foreign exchange students to our campus. Jane Boserup and Lone Rasmussen from Denmark, Mischa Marx from the Nether- lands, and Sabina Kroll from Ger- many were the students this 1987- 88 school year 'Before I came to America, I tried not to expect anything and not to be prejudiced because I was afraid that I might be disappointed or absolutely wrong. Outside of America people always think of California as the sunshine state of beaches, summer, surfing and va- cations, however, now that I have experienced what the state is really like I have realized that it is not much different than in Eur- ope. The people basically act and dress the same, commented Sa- bina. Everything was pretty much as I expected it to be like in California, but I was surprised by the big freeways and highways and espe- cially the many different types of cars, Jane added. All four students mentioned that they were amazed that the driving age was sixteen here in California. In most European countries the driving age was eighteen, and most of the kids rode bikes or used the bus for transportation, t'Many schools in Europe do not have any sporting team or club activities for the students. You are just there to learn. We are offered IO-I2 different subjects spread over the week and we do not have nearly as many tests or homework, commented Jane. 'School starts so early here, in the Netherlands it usually began at 8:30 until 2:25, Mischa added. Before arriving in California, the exchange students had their own ideas of what California would be like. I was always dreaming back home of going to Hollywood and becoming a star, but it's not as easy as I thought it would be, commented Mischa who was very active in the drama department at ED. The exchange students felt that they were welcomed by the stu- dents at El Dorado and it was defi- nitely a year that they will never forget. 0 I ' s

Mer Memories Held Sacred Walking on to campus One's greeted by some friends With brilliant sunny smiles With love that never ends. We say we're glad to go The years flew by so fast Seconds, minutes, hours They never seem to last. Time moved too fast Time was on our side We shared our lives together With love that we can't hide. Memories shall not fade Highschool set the tone Friends, teacher, staff Amazed at how we've grown. Leaving our security The Future is at hand With hopes, dreams, love Together we shall stand. Highschool formed our dreams We may be sad we're done Friendship, laughter, love Life's only just begun! 0' Looking on happily, special friends made over the years have come together to unite and show their strong friendship with each other.
