Where would any institution be without its behind-the-scenes workers? A school is certainly no different except the behind-the-scenes workers must not only do their jobs but also work with teenagers. First, students would be unable to get promptly to school without the ever dependable bus drivers arriving on time at the bus stop. As supervised by Mr. Daniel Wegman, the bus drivers run their regular routes and also handle such special tasks as driving ninth graders to the senior high in February for an overview of the building and the courses, preparatory to course selection for the next year. Working almost around the clock, the custodial staff, also directed by Mr. Wegman, takes care of any emergencies like broken windows in a hallway door or an accidentally spilled food tray at lunchtime. Evening and after school hours see the custodians cleaning chalk trays, vacuuming doorway carpets, and straightening chairs while all daylight hours see the men shoveling snow or mowing grass, depending on the season. By 10:45 the cafeteria lines open for first lunch with some choosing to eat only warm soft pretzels or peanut butter Tandycakes. SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL SECRETARIES. Dorothy Johnson. Patricia Graul.

Although they came from widely different countries, Exeter's five exchange students discovered both similarities and contrasts between their homes and the United States. Finnish exchange student Aila Maat-tanen, from Salo, decided to become one because she had heard so much about the United States from Finns who had already been exchange students. Luckily, when homesick, Aila was able to call the Daniel Boone exchange stu- dent who was also from Finland. Two major differences between her Finnish school and Exeter struck Aila. Her school, like most European schools, has no extracuricular activities but the students, all of whom are going on to university study, have more freedom at lunch and during study times. Similar experiences were recalled by Peter Hakansson of Orebro, Sweden. Although Peter had been vaguely considering becoming an exchange student, it wasn’t until his father mentioned it that he made application. He, too, knew several Swedes who had been students in the U.S. Since Peter intends to become a mechanical engineer, his high school was one with a strong math and science emphasis. A major difference, then, between the school systems of the two countries is Exeter’s many course choices, necessitated by the student body’s divergent future plans.
