E, f Last summerl spent eight weeks in Europe as part of a program called The Experiment In International Living . My Experiment began in Putney, Vermont for a three day orientation. l next flew with a group to Hamburg, Germany, our first contact with the European world. We stayed in this city only a few days to sightsee and then we boarded a train headed for Copenhagen, Denmark where we emplaned for Helsinki, Finland. ln Helsinki l parted with the American group and took a five hour bus ride to a town called Saarijarvvi. This town would be my second home for a month. It was a long and lonely ride but finallyl arrived and met my new family. l had two brothers, Jarmo age twenty and Jyurki age nineteen, and two sisters, Ffrja age eighteen and Katariina age sixteen, not to mention two wonderful parents. I lived in a two hundred year old farmhouse on a farm called Likopelto. We had a huge lake in our backyard where we swam and waterskied. The lake was also used for the traditional Finnish sauna. About once a week we'd go into a small hut with a wood burning stove. My father would splash water on hot stones and we'd sweat as much as we could tolerate, then we'd make a mad dash out of the sauna into the sixty degree water of the lake. My family was the wealthiest in the area and every year they arranged a day of entertainment for the community. Circus entertainers were hired to perform and I was lucky enough to be there during this time to enjoy the day of activities. The teenagersl met while I was there were alot like American teenagers, the only difference seemed to be that they knew alot more of what they wanted and what was expected of them. They also didn't seem as rushed as Americans. All to soon the month was up and I joined my American group with their Finnish brothers and sisters for an informal trip to Leningrad, Russia. My impressions of the U.S.S.R. were very cold, plain, and lifeless, such a contrast to the Finnish culture. After the trip we returned once again to Finland where we exchanged final farewells with our Finnish families as well as the natural beauty and culture of their country. I wish to express my deepest thanks to the adult and student chapters of the I.E.C. who devoted many hours in making my Experiment one I'll never forget. iam

This year the German Club tasted many fine foods and learned about the German culture. ln October they participated in the Oktoberfest at Cal Expo where they all danced the polka and had their first taste of German food. During Weihnachtsz1'it or in english Christmastime they had a party with German food a la carte from a German restaurant. ln November they had a cupcake sale to raise money for the annual spring trip. ln past years they traveled to San Francisco to eat at a German restaurant, but because of the gas shortage this year they went into Sacramento to have their final taste of German food.
