MOUNTAIN BELL INTRODUCED call waiting to Colorado cus- tomers this year - but students at Rampart, including Becky Green, Susan Quigley, and Gloria Wagner, found call waiting to be waiting in line to use the pay phone. ,eQ in America America she quickly learned about was the prices of things here as opposed to Finland. She found out that clothing is half as cheap askin her homeland. A pair of pants that would cost 3540' in Finland would only cost S520 here. Food was another inexpensive item. America was look- ing better and better. Then she said that she found out that the rules dealing with teenagers were very strict in Amer- ica. In her home country, teenagers went out on dates until three or four o'clock in the morningg they can drink alcoholg and most of them smoke cigarettes. Here the teen- agers were very conser- vative. But after consid- ering everything, her fi- nal remark was, I like American a lot! IRQ 5 X ff-N -.Xxff A.-F x....,x f Q 5 'x .f ,.

Sari Linronen finds cleaning the lab tedious. Y Being a 10 'd rather live When Sari Lintonen first found out that she was moving to America, her first reaction was, Ok, let's go! But what would it be like living in a foreign country? How would it be learning a foreign language? She was soon to find out as she headed for America in the 747. Sari moved here from Helsinki, Finland, in De- cember, 1981. Her first learning experience of America was going to high school. In Finland, a high school student takes fifteen courses in a week, but here a student only takes six. It didn't take Sari long to learn that she liked school here much better than in her pre- vious homeland. After all, six from fifteen leaves nine and that leaves a lot less homework!

Like other ninth grad- ers, these students had many con- frontations with upperclassmen. Before Mr. Bolte announced there would be no initiations, many freshmen found themselves singing on the lunch tables or pushing pen- nies up a wall. Despite such surprising but usu- ally funny experiences, the ninth st base graders did occasionally get to class on timeg and once there, found high school life as different in the class- room as it was in the hall. This was a freshman's first exposure to the horror known as finals week. They were also in on varsity sports, play- ing them or cheering for them. Although freshmen seemed to be gypped out of a year of ruling the school at the junior High, most felt their new experiences more than made up for a year of lost leader- ship. 5 4 S Li ff v ,4- ., .f K r 1, it A . x
