Travel Enriches Students Lives Band to World 's Fair In the fall of '81, the Crimson Marching Band recieved an invitation to perform at the Worlds Fair in Knoxville, Tennessee. The band director, Mr. David Plank, sent in a formal application and a video tape of the band in action. After a short waiting period, they were informed that their appli- cation had been received and they were accepted to perform. The money for the trip was raised main- ly on an individual basis although they had two fund raisers, band members sold pizzas and trash bags. Sam Hernandez commented, My over all experience was very good and I received many compliments on our performance. Jim Canning said, The lines were too long for the exhibits, but I still enjoyed the fair. The band performed on August third in a forty-five minute parade. Their trip lasted from Monday, August second through Thursday, August fifth. They stayed at Winnebago Villiage, in campers, about five miles south of Knoxville. Bryan Lubeck said, I really liked the atmosphere of the fair, and I also liked China Town. Mr. Plank stated, The band also liked the experience of being suc- cessfulf' Foreign Exchange Students Goshen High School had two foreign exchange students this past year, Andreas Widowitsh and Fabrice Bellenot. Andreas was a senior from West Germany. He stayed with Mr. and Mrs. Laverne Schrock. Fabrice, also a senior, was from Switzerland. Fabrice stayed with the Doc- tor Lesley Haney family. Fabrice said, I really liked my visit to the US. What he liked best was the mu- sic, and the chance to meet new people. He felt that the schools in Europe were more academic. A student in Switzerland has to take thirteen courses rather than six, and has no choice in the courses he or she takes. The schools are also not open to everyone. Fabrice said, I like being able to choose the courses but I feel that six are not enough. Fabrice was able to come to the U.S. through the International Christian Youth Exchange, at a cost of ,Zzooo a year. He said he would advise others to try it. He felt there were too many European students and not enough Americans involved in the exchange program. .iii L.. 2220-1:-mv 1' JV 3 -T-I ..
