Travel To And From U.S. Hey, Salut, ola, hai, oi, godendag, and hallo were some of the many greetings that could have slipped through the mouths of the foreign exchange students. Arthur Hill opened its doors to eleven exchange students coming from eight different countries. Ollivier Ville- maine and Lawrence Boursy from France, Carin Lowgrew from Sweden, Jet Halbertsma from Holland, Anne Sadowski from Germany, Carman de Castro from Brazil, Kris Vanden- Affeele from Belguim, Martha Bos- mediane, Carlos Cuvi, and Mabel Bastidas from Ecuador made up the group who attended classes at A.H. All of these exchange students had something in common, they were all far from home, but were well taken care of. During the year the students learned the Americans customs and way of life They also participated in school activ- ities and traveled with their host families. Being an exchange student is an experience that you treasure for life. “You get big impressions with the big cars and McDonalds and also with the American people chewing gum,” commented Jet Halbertsma. Jet and the other exchange students liked the United States and hope that they can return again for a visit. The pictures on page 16 were taken by Arthur Hill students during their various trips. Hillites visited such places as Montreal, Canada; Paris, France; and Madrid, Spain. The exchange students who spent this school year at Arthur Hill take time out to pose for a photograph.

Backpacker club members try to promote an understanding of the out-of-doors and camping experience. The primary goal of the group is to improve hiking techniques by sharing the knowledge, skills and experiences of others in the group. Secondary goals of the group are many, including the all-over improvement of the environ- ment. The Backpackers were a very busy club. They went skiing and hiking in Midland Forest. They also Hiked 11 miles in Pidgeon River State Country Forest. Club members also visited Mackinac Island in May. Due to the lack of school funds, the members had to pay for their own trips and provide transportation. The foreign language clubs at Arthur Hill were involved in many activities this year. They played a very import- ant part in the functioning of the school. For Christmas, the language clubs combined their singing talents for the annual assembly. Each club took turns singing their different versions of the popular carols sung each year. For the final number, the three groups ended with Jose Feliciano’s song, ‘‘Feliz Navidad.”’ Spanish club sponsored taco sales which proved to be very successful. The taco supplies usually sold out before all of the customers were satisfied. The Toberlone Sale by the German club, was a sell out also. The German Club members were busily selling the chocolate candies everywhere and the students loved it. French Club was also busy having fun raising money. Under the direction of French teacher, Ms. Deford, the Frenchmen teamed up to sell suckers. Bake sales were another form of activity by the different language clubs. Even though their main objec- tive was to raise money, they always made it a point to have fun. 1. Backpackers enjoy the view. 2.
