nn 1 'ii' gg New Frontiers Gudrun Gylfadottir: What was that? Well, it wasn't a that, it was a she, and she was the Scandinavian Sweetheart who stole our hearts this past year at EHS. Gunna, as she preferred to be called, was our AFS foreign exchange student from Iceland. Gunna was born and lives in Reykjavik, the capital of Iceland which has a population of about 99,000, almost half of the country's population of 220,000. Gunna said she wanted to come to the US be- cause she wanted to learn about new customs and cultures, go to a new school with new friends, and live with another family. Back home, besides her parents, Gunna has a younger brother and sister. In Iceland, Gunna attended high school and music school in which she took piano lessons. She said she liked to read and was athletic. She even played soccer. The school sys- tem in Iceland was different from the US. Students had to go to school from the time they were sev- en until they were fifteen and then four years of high school was op- tional but almost all students went, according to Gunna. Gunna planned to attend ICeland's only university in Reykjavik after she graduated from high school. This wasn't the first time Gunna had been to the US. She had pre- viously visited Maine. Gunna said Iceland is a beautiful mountainous country with active volcanoes and hot springs. She also said that there were similarities between us and Icelandic culture including family life and music. NHS front row: S. Brown, T. Mintler,-I. Lemna, C. Hall, B. Morrison, S. Rex middle row: N.

o ore Words Even though everyone who at- tended the Language club picnic had something foreign in common, a passer-by wouldn't have guessed it because not too many foreign words were uttered. But who cares about foreign languages when you're having fun? Besides the language club picnic, which was held at Nelson Park, the language clubs had other activities planned. lt seemed as though the German club had planned to win the soccer tournament at the picnic. They didg not by planning, but by executing outstanding athletic abilities from its members. The German club also planned a trip to jumer's Castle Lodge in Peoria and caroling at St. Mary's. The French Club participated in the homecoming parade and planned a progressive dinner with French cuisine fyum!D. They also planned to carol and throw a party afterwards. Finally, a field trip to Six Flags was in order. The Spanish club sold calendars to raise funds for their annual trip to Six Flags. In addition on the year's agenda were judging the best Halloween costume contest, mak- ing Christmas cards in Spanish and English for a nursing home and a party. Finally, the Latin Club participat- ed in the junior Class League Con- vention at Sacred Heart Academy.
