Learning the hard way Very few people forget their first driving experiences. Driving is noth- ing to laugh about, yet driving for the first time might have been a joke for many sophomores. Whether it was seeing a gorgeous guy and watching him instead of the road or getting so caught up in the conver- sation among the passengers that one ran a red light, accidents could happen. Sophomore jenny Sommer told of the time she tried to park her grandfather's car and backed into his new fence and knocked it down. One day Carol Bahun was driving to school and panicked when a car was Tl coming toward her. She turned quickly and drove into a ditch. As Karen Peers, Suzie Sorich, and Mi- chelle Ramos tried to push Carol's car out of the ditch, she ran over Suzi's foot. Having a license created a host of new problems as well. Not all sixteen year olds were so fortunate as to have their parents buy them a car, they had to settle for the family car. Yet it wasn't easy to get it when they wanted or needed it. Chris Smailys added, I never get the car because my brother is older and if he needs the car he gets it. On the other hand, when one l i-.l turned 16 he or she found himsel with more freedom. There was n worry for rides from Mom and Da when one wanted to go to the mov- ies with friends. Parents may no have admitted it, but they were re lieved they didn't have to chauffeur their children around. One mother Mrs. Mary Dame, said, I am glad m daughters have their licenses but I' frightened for them, accidents ar expensive mistakes. Driving may have seemed like al fun and games, but there were a lo of unanticipated problems when th license was finally obtained. B plmmu

They were participating in a student exchange program in which they stayed with a host family for an ex- tended period of time. Language was one of the greatest obstacles encountered by the for- eign exchange students. Kanako mentioned that understanding the many slangs teenagers used was diffi- cult. However, according to Cari Murphy, a junior, I was surprised how well she spoke our language. Homework was more difficult for Mikael. Not because of the content, but rather the difficulty in under- standing the language. Carol stayed me ' - .

She also agreed that understanding our language was very difficult. Overall each had many difficulties, but thoroughly enjoyed the many new experiences America had to offer them. Mikael Olsson, from Sweden, tests his knowl- edge in America. sophomoresf79
