Different Dialects Mark Interesting Infuence tudents Currently In Foreign Exchange We didrTt recognize them, but they were there. They didnt stand out, but we noticed them. They had the chance. They went for it. There was a special attractiori to them. The accents, the mystique ... whatever it may have been, the in- trigue was there. The fear of not knowing what to ex- pect can be frightening, especially if you are in a new and foreign country. Dieter Calle, a student from Belgium, recalled, When I didn t know my way to the classes, they helped me. Peo- ple are very nice, especially the girls! When asked what was the first thing he would teli his friends, Dieter said, Hey, there were really nice, and cute girls there!” Despite the fun times that stood out, these students faced the reality of missing horne. Margretha de Bondt, a student from Holland, remembered her first day of school as being diffi- cult, and she wished that she was horne in Holland. Coping with the school bus proved to be more than she could handle. ' Riding the school bus was not very comfortable and it was sooo early. Fortunately after three days, I got a ride to school from ' wacky ' Mare Cireno.” Ute Blumentrath missed the fun times after school. “In Germany, schools usually end at one o clock, so you can spend alot of time with your friends. After school we usually meet at a cafe” in the city and talk.” When one is depressed and horne- sick, what should you do? Ute knew exactly what would cheer her up. I love the American radio channels. You just have to tum on the radio, and there is all this good music. So is the T.V. You never get bored! By the end of the school year, the foreign students will have returned horne and will soon fall back into their normal lifestyles. Memories of the United States will not leave their minds easily. When looking back at their year in America, talk may be de¬ scriptive. Ute will explain her impres- sions of us Americans: Top Secret: never go to America. The Americans are strange !!” BELGIAN POMO! Junior Dieter Calle proves that athletic proficiency is intemational. THE COLOR OF MONEY! Foreign students, BORN TO BE WILD! Jrs. Manuel Arroyo and Adrianna Paz and Margretha de Bondt, Thomas Schuetz gear up for another ride, exchange thoughts on American currency. 30 • MARKIMG TIME
