OUR FRIEND FROM GERMANY FRIEDERIKE BANSCHBACH Ricky crossing a busy street in downtown Berlin. In the distance an old church can be seen standing next to its modern addition. Frederike Banschbach is our exchange student from the Federal Republic of Germany. She has two younger brothers, and one younger sister in Germany. Ricky as she prefers to be called, has a father who is a safety engineer, and a mother who is a house- wife. She is close to her family, and misses them very much. Ricky enjoys playing her classical guitar more than anything else. However, she also enjoys sewing, swimming, playing volleyball, riding bicycles and learning to speak foreign languages. In Germany, Ricky is studying to enter a career in hotel manage- ment. She hopes that after completing this specialized training, she will find employment with an international hotel and travel around the world. Ricky describes the educational system in Germany as being considerably different than our system. In Germany, children attend pri- mary school from the age of six to ten. At that time they are tested, and a decision is made to determine whether they will continue in primary or elemennqy school, or advance to secondary school. At the completion of secondary school, a test is administered to establish a student's qualifications to attend the university. The school year in Germany starts in September, and continues on a six day a week basis throughout the school year. Not five but six!! Yes, students in Germany even attend school on Saturdays!! All students in Ger- many are required by law to attend school until they are 18 years of age, which is also different from our standard procedure in the United States. Ricky's main reason for coming to the U.S. was to improve her English language skills, and to study our lifestyle and culture. We will miss Ricky when she is gone, but you can contact her by writing or calling. Friederike Banschbach Heilbronnerstr. 1 A 7514 Eggenstein-Leopoldshafen 19

OUR FRIEND FROM NORWAY NADJA BRUSETH Nadja Bruseth is our exchange student from Norway. Nadja has one brother who is eight years older than her, and no sisters. Her father is an over-engineer and her mother is a music teacher. Nadja's fa- vorite pass time is traveling. She is already formulating plans to return to the United States in a few years and travel throughout most of the country enjoying the sights and the people with whom she comes in contact. She also enjoys photography, writes to pen pals all over the world, all kinds of sports and handicrafts of all types. Nadja describes Norway's system of education as being a little different from ours. In Norway, chil- dren start school when they are six or seven years old and they attend school for nine years. After com- pleting the nine required years of education they must either attend a career school or go to college. In order to attend the University, one must have college attendance in his background. Nadja is on the Deckerville Junior Varsity Volleyball team and eagerly participates in all of the team's contests. She is also an active member of V.I.C.A. Vocational, Industrial, Clubs of America. Nadja tells us that Norway and Michigan are similar in many respects. Specifically, she says that Nor- way and Michigan both have long, cold winters and hot summers. One stark contrast however, is that Norway has mountains which Michigan lacks. The peat moss pile outside of Sandusky apparently doesn't count. Because it is mind expanding to learn about the culture and life styles of other countries, we asked Nadja what the most popular food is in her country. Her response confirms are suspicions, people are people are people are people. The most popular food in her country is, you guessed it, pizza!! When Nadja returns to Norway she will go to college and attend until she graduates. After gradu- ation she would like to obtain a job as an airline stewardess for an international airline so that she will be able to continue to travel around the world meeting interesting people. If you would like to communicate with Nadja when she returns to her country, you can write or call her using the address or phone number listed below.
