Students from around the world were given the chance to expe- rience life in America. Exchange students came from Denmark, The Netherlands, Mexico, Cana- da, Germany, and Finland. The first sight of America was the most memorable. Danish Stu- dent Anders Weiss said. It was, Hot! It was raining when 1 left home. 1 got off the plane in L.A. and couldn ' t breathe. German student Katja Grund said, I thought America was a dream land. It is better than Ger- many 1 thought. These students would also re- member their host families. The American people were definitely different. The people, how peo- ple are. People here are more friendly and hospitable. They ask you a lot of questions. They want to know a lot about you and where you are from, Dutch stu- dent, Anneke Versluis said. All of the people think about food. When I stayed with new families they took me out to din- ner. This is what I expected though. My brother was here two years ago, said Finnish student Juha-Pekka J. P. Sarkomaa. These students had the rare chance to bring and share their cultures. They would never forget their trip for the rest of their lives. Katja Grund and Harr ' Medal compare notes before school in the hbrary. 188

We take more notes in Math than we do in History! We have too many notes, too much homework, and too many tests, but that is what I like about Mrs. Rowley ' s second hour class, Dawson Kendall said. There is a lot of homework in these classes, but most of the students pass, understanding what they did or not. I haven ' t understood any- thing in this class since the begin- ning of the year, said Jo-El Gillen, talking about her second hour Al- gebra 11. Kara Shumaker gats out a piece of paper to take notes in Mr. Alpers first hour class. Eric Mager and Erinne OHara discuss a science club meeting coming up the next day.

(fs ( Small World What was life like in other countries? Some students found out through a group called the International Club. Students in the Internatit)nal Club learned about different cul- tures through international dinners. The dinners all had themes like Mexican night, Italian night, or French night. These pot-luck dinners were carried out by students. They brought dishes of foreign foods corre- sponding with the evening ' s theme. After dinner, students watched films with the night ' s theme. On occasion guest speakers were in- vited to speak. The foreign ex- change students were encouraged to join. It was felt that these stu- dents could bring a better un- derstanding of their cultures and countries. Advisor Kathy Louden said that the club ' s main purpose was to help students learn about their cultures and countries. INTERNATIONAL CLUB: Front Kou.
