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. After joining the golf team, Peter Hakansson rests In the graphic arts room, Stephan Kalina learns some new techniques on developing black and white against the eagle mascot outside the school, photographs.
