How do you celebrate life? We're all so different Mixtures of races in our cups of happiness And culture wise . . . all so contrasting. So tell me about your life And l'll share mine with you Teach me, and l will learn, l'll also accept you. Juha Koski is a junior from Vantaa, Finland. He tells us that there are many differences between American schools and schools in Finland, where students follow a different schedule every day. In Fin- land schools, classes are 45 minutes in length and there is a full 50 minutes between classes. There is a mandatory 9 years of schooling after which a student may enter a specialized high school and then college. Juha is interested in cars, sports, and especially in photographic art. After he serves a year in the army, he hopes to enter an art college. Juha will return to Finland in June. You may have felt alone at first But now you can talk to me About where you were born And how you lived. l'll laugh with you, not at you And though our skins contrast And likewise our backgrounds lt's all the better for you and me.

Water polo and swimming are among his interests. After high school, Jean plans to make a career in the Ger- man military service. When asked about the major differences between Bowsher and his school at home, Jean remarked that students do not move from classroom to classroom, but the teachers, rather, circulate. ln Germany, Jean says, school is adjourned at 1:00 p.m. However, students sometimes attend school on Saturdays and are in school for thirteen years instead of twelve. Jean is enjoying life in America butwill return home to Germany in June.
