Assemblies Unite Student Body , school like Elston is several departments. teachers. and r students working as indi- viduals to establish individ- ual goals. Because of this a student taking shop courses may never partici- pate in anything with a student taking college bound courses if school assem- blies didn't bring Elston together. Assemblies bring together the stu- dent body and faculty to encourage the various athletic teams. organiza- tions and individuals that are Elston. These assemblies helped remind EI- ston's students that it takes more than individual goals to make a school. Bud Bird proves how talented he is.

Three Students Visit Foreign Lands n the search for status taking a trip to Europe is consid- ered to be very chic. Those status searchers who do visit Europe are often unaware of anything but their physical surroundings; they are the souvenir hunters and polariod privacy invaders that have given our nation a bad name in Europe and the world in general. Yet there is another type of American toursit. those who are concerned about the people and culture of the nation they visit. Among last summer's concerned tourists were three of Elston's finest students: Anne Brockway. Alex Reichl. and Arleigh Reichl. Anne was able to visit Denmark through involvement in the American Field Service. Living for two months on dairy farms in Brande and Grensa, she ate, worked, and went to school with her Danish host and found the experience both enjoy- able and educational, as she learned that the Danish, despite their many differences, were very much like us. Alex and Arliegh along with thirty other students from Indiana went to Germany as members of the Indiana Univer- sity Honors Program UUHPy For seven weeks Alex. Arleigh and the other students lived in seperate homes in the city of Krefeld while they studied in a school organized especially for the lUHP students. They also visited such famous places as Paris and the Rhine, but their greatest experience came in learning about the German language and culture. The experiences of these three Elston's students and other like them are personal, yet the positive impressions they left behind may help create a better impression of American tourists.
