proves there is life . . . . . . beyond the Calumet Expressway Kamagata F or many, the summer of ' 86 was a foreign experience. Four Highland High students spent eight weeks in Germany and France on the I.U. Honors Pro- gram in Foreign Languages. These four lived with families and went to school to study the culture. Kelley McGroarty, Keith Palmer, and Todd Smith tasted the German life, while Danielle Smith experienced France. The competition for this program is tough and these four worked hard to reach their goals. Other students who spent a few weeks abroad were Claudia Geyer, who spent part of her summer in Ja- pan; Jim Jones, who spent time in Bra- Lynda Chick in Germany, Claudia Geyer in Japan, and Erin Dalton in England all learned much from their travel experience. zil; and Dawn Synos, who was in Bel- gium for five weeks. These students also lived with families. Frau Rogers took a group of students to Germany this summer in June. They spent time touring Germany with The Frau as their most-exper- ienced guide. This was paid for by the students through their fund-raising and through their own pockets. Greg Sacha, one of the students who trav- eled, feels that the experience was worth the price. For the students who lived with families during their visit, the trip holds much sentimental value. Kelley McGroarty attended a wedding her first day in Germany, and was from then on a member of the family. Claudia Geyer worked on her family ' s goldfish farm and found her stay to be most rewarding. For Danielle Smith, Kamagata (Con ' t. on page 24)

Experience teaches in foreign lands and close to home Travel (Cont ' d.) the summer contained a move from family into a dorm with all the other French students. This was a tear-forming thing to do, but made responsibility and ma- turity a necessity Living or visiting a different country gives way to many changes and new thoughts about the country that one lives in. Many students have found that they are not as informed about their own country as are foreign- ers. Also, when one is able to read the publications of another coun- try, the view those people have of this country is revealed. Some- times this can be quite surprising. When one looks around Europe, one sees much American influ- ence. American flags on clothes, Coca-Cola addicts, and greeting cards with American characters and sayings on them are not rare sights. These are factors which are so contrary to what is found in some of the newspapers. America seems to be so popular fad fashion wise, yet, the only story on America found in one French newspaper compara- ble to The New York Times, was on the four girls involved in the stabbing death of an elderly woman in Lake County. Many students still found that their host families wished to visit the U.S.A. and some wish to work here. There is much to learn from other nations; much about the world and much about ourselves. ♦ Devonne A short trip to the Limited at South- lake Mall finds Karen Klickmann try- ing on a new sweater — and checking her purse.
