SCAMP camp, directed by Jim Butzine, provides activities for the physically and mentally handicapped between the ages of 5 and 25. Each year, Scamp must raise $20,000 to continue their program. This year they held a rummage sale and a walk-a-thon to raise this money. Many Clarkston High students participated in the walk-a-thon. The summer activities also provide summer employment as counselors in Scamp’s Summer Camp Program. 2 1. They’re off!, on that multi-mile hike to raise money for Scamp activities. 2. It may not help the aching feet, but coffee and donuts sure do taste good to a hungry hiker. SCAMP 29

EXCHANGE STUDENTS B' uc Meeking hails from Melbourne Australia. Melbourne is in the state of Victoria, one of the most . progressive states in that country. She has not found Americans to be as free or liberal as their overseas reputation would have them be. She is very happy here and very fond of Clarkston and the Addises, her “family”. Although unprepared for our extreme cold or snow, she enjoyed her knee-deep encounters with winter. Her interests are debating, music, writing, sketching, reading and drama. She participated in music and drama productions while here. She felt her main advantage as an exchange student was the language, although there are a few idiomatic differences between the English and American languages. She’ll have many experiences to share with her family when she returns home in the middle of winter on Friday, July 13th. ussi Pekka Rantanen of Turku Finland has had an excitement filled year. Since his arrival in August, he has participated in many school activities such as playing on the basketball team, singing with the Chorus, acting in M A S H and “Annie get your Gun” and as the kicker on the football team. Besides soccer, Jussi enjoys basketball and sailing when in Turku. In comparing Finnish schools to C.H.S., Jussi said that although ours is less academic it is “more fun” because of the extra curricular activities. Our school is much larger in size and enrollment, but the students are pretty much the same. Jussi will take memories of new experiences and new found friends when he returns to Turku in July. te Gebhard is from a small town near Koln (Cologne) Germany. During her stay in America she lived with the Morse family. Her main impression is that American students are more conservative than the German, especially in clothing styles. There the current style is to wear old, overly-large clothes. Although America is a great place to visit, she misses home. Christmas was particularly difficult for her as many American traditions were borrowed from the Germans. She was a little disappointed in the small snowfall. She had heard about the Michigan Winters and their many inches perhaps feet of snow. In contrast to the usual 2 inches at home this would be a skiers delight, however, there was a small amount of snow here and a record breaking 3 feet there. Ute has been active in Ski Club, Chorus and Student Government as well as Drama during her memorable year at CHS. 30 EXCHANGE STUDENTS
