Anyone for Sweden? During the summer of 1982, I had the experience of liv- ing in Sweden as an exchange student as part of the Youth For Understanding program. For eight weeks I lived with the Karlson family-Ragnar, Barbro, Ewa 17, and Birgitta 14. We lived at their summer cottage in Arsta Havsbad, about sixty miles southeast of Stockholm. When I first arrived in Sweden, the weather was cold and rainy. I decided that if it was going to be like that all summer, I would just as soon head back home. But the summer turned out to be one of Sweden's hottest in many years, averaging between 800-900 in July, and I had plenty of time for sunbathing and swimming. I also had the opportunity to see a lot of Stockholm and was fascinated by every bit of it. Also I was able to travel across country to visit Goteberg, another beautiful and in- teresting town. Learning the language was a comical experience. It was difficult to pick up their strange sounds. I managed to learn a little, but I found that I was better at reading and listening than at speaking Swedish. Overall, I had a marvelous eight weeks. My only regret is that I couldn't JOURNALISM WORKSHOPS: Karrie Reis. Row stay longer.

Summer Vacations Go by Fast, Whether Traveling or Working . Travel was another big activity for the summer. Not everyone was as lucky as Jenni Crase, who went to Sweden. But many visited areas of the US. Loretta Wall, who went to Texas and Oklahoma, said, I had fun visiting my relatives, but traveling was the most exciting part about go- II mg. A lot of students traveled to various spots in Indiana and Kentucky to at- tend summer camps and workshops to prove their skills. Ginny Ferguson and Chad Nunn went as far as Texas to attend a swimming camp. With the latter part of summer, the 4- H fair rolled around, and many CHS students participated in the various competitions. Each night there was a big crowd at the fair and many forms of entertainment. In mid-August it was time to pur- chase new clothes, folders, pencils, and paper. Even though the summer had come to an end, the fun moments were not over because it was time to renew old friendships at CHS. Many students choose to get jobs in the sum- mer.

Warm Autumn Weather ,3 Lifts School Spirit As the summer came to a close and students returned to CH8, they were faced with new administrators, a dif- ferent way of registering, and a closed campus policy. Only the seniors were allowed to plan their own schedules in the arena style. All of the underclassmen received a list of their courses and teachers in the mail. During the weeks of September, the seniors complained about the closed campus policy. After looking forward to the privilege of going out for lunch their senior year, they were de- nied it. Their complaints began to die out, however, as October rolled around and Homecoming Spirit Week preparations got underway. October also brought a lift in spirit. With the spectacular autumn colors, students took advantage of the last days of warm, sunny weather before the winter months set in. While taking advantage of the weather, Jana Bottorf picks marigolds. chping in style is Jeff Whitaker in his preppy Izod sweater.
