KA ARTIN —Poppe ne of the four exchange students that arrived this fall in Astoria is Martin Poppe. Mar¬ tin’s home city is Hamberg, West Germany, a city of about 100,000 people. He admits that he was a little surprised to be placed in a small city like As¬ toria. He had requested that his exchange group send him to California, but he is glad now that he got a chance to stay in Astoria. There are some differences that Martin noticed between Astoria and Hamberg. The teachers in his school in Ger¬ many are the ones who change classes, while the students stay in the same classrooms. He feels that America in general is more conservative than Germany. Another interesting observa¬ tion that Martin made is that the barbers don’t cut hair quite the same as they do in Ger¬ many. Overall, Martin feels that American teenagers are a lot like German teens. He agrees with the adage that people are the same everywhere. Some of the activities Martin is interested in included pho¬ tography, skiing, and waterski¬ ing. When he returns to Ger¬ many, his goal is to look like a punk. In general Martin felt that “everyday I had fun hen , it was a good time and I me t alot of really nice people.” ast school year, ru¬ mors spread that a gigantic six feet four inch Spanish ex¬ change student would arrive in Astoria and help take our basketball team to state once again. When Alex Bringas arrived, he wasn’t quite what was expected, but most girls didn’t complain. Alex is from Mataro, Spain, a city on the coast with a population of 100,000 people. At his school in Spain, Alex notices more of an em¬ phasis on academics then there is here in the United States. Here school is more of a fun place to be then in Spain. This year at Astoria High School, Alex was able to play on our football team as the kicker. He was also looking forward to playing basket¬ ball, swimming, and playing baseball in our school, but after fall season, all of this changed. Because of an ob¬ scure Oregon rule, Alex and the other exchange students were unable to compete in the Cowapa League. Alex enjoys our shcool sys¬ tem a lot, but he was con¬ fused by the idea of lockers at first. Alex stayed with Eino and Annikki Johnson for the school year. Alex 3 r 1NGAS
