Is It Friday Yet? Students look forward to weekend. It was a Friday morning and stu- dents anxiously awaited the 3:05 Bell. Friday night games followed by going to Pizza Hut, parties, or just spending time with friends were what students at New Haven looked forward to on the week- ends. Not only did students look forward to the weekends, but teachers also enjoyed them. They looked forward to weekends in order to escape the daily complaining of the students. I forgot my book at home , My dog ate my assignment , I knew I did it, but I can ' t seem to find it. These were some of the well-known comments that they had. I enjoy the weekends because it gives me a chance to motivate my- self rather than trying to motivate 125 English students, commented teacher Mr. Kirkton. Pizza Hut was probably the most popular hangout in New Haven. Pizza Hut is a great place to have fun with your friends and meet some ' chics ' , stated Freshman Marc Ba- ker. Pizza Hut was also a great place to celebrate a win after an athletic event. During the school year, many stu- dents went to a newly-opened teenage hangout called Rock America . Rock America is a place for students to dance and meet new people, stated Junior Jenny Meier. Other things students did included going to see a movie, shopping at the mall, and working. In order for students to afford doing fun things, the majority had to work. Working on the weekends isn ' t that bad if you get to work in the mornings be- cause it goes fast and you still have the evenings to go out , stated Senior Lisa Momper. Whether it was going to parties, shopping at the mall, or just spend- ing time relaxing, students and teachers enjoyed having a break on the weekends.

Foreigners Exchange Ideas With NHHS Last year New Haven High School received four students from other countries through the Foreign Ex- change program. They were Mats Arthursson from Sweden, Thomas Pressetin from West Germany, Janne Kemppainen from Finland, and Gwenola Breton from France. Going to school in another coun- try required a lot of adjustments. One of the biggest adjustments for Thomas was trying to understand how people in America think. It ' s so different from W. Germany and it has taken me awhile but I finally think I got it figured out , said Thom- as. We soon discovered that people from other countries had some of the same interests as we do. Mats, for example played hockey and also enjoyed soccer. Thomas liked to go out with his freinds to a bar in Germany. To see friends , he said, Not to get drunk! When comparing countries, there seemed to be lots of differences es- photo by Jeff Wixted pecially in the size and number of people. Janne said, My whole country is the size of Florida . Mats Arthursson said that he could only pick a few of the differences. One of them was the number of cars each family had. In Sweden, it ' s very rare if a family has more than one car, but here, most families seem to have at least three, com- mented Mats. He also said that the schools are very different. We don ' t have the same classes everyday. We follow a week schedule. stated Mats. Thomas said that the basic princi- ples are the same in the U.S. and W. Germany. Both are built on the same kind of constitution so we have many of the same rights, said Thomas. One thing that all of our visitors agreed upon was that the people of America were very friendly and open, as best stated by Janne, who said American people are relaxed and open. They take things easy . — Lisa Mowery MATS ARTHURSON ALONG with the other ex- change students found the easiest way to fit-in was to join the many different clubs offered.
