Herb Experiences Suburban Living Traveling from Essen, a large city in Germany, Hobart ' s foreign exchange student, Herbert Muller-Roden, arrived in Hobart on August 23. Unlike his real family, Herb had only one brother here to replace his two younger brothers at home. During his stay Herb lived with the Richard Trcka family. School life seemed to be a great change for Herb. In our school the teachers change classes and the students stay in the same room, stated Herb. Other differences included the closeness of students with teachers, the various clubs offered in school, and the different times of vacations. In his favorite class, family affairs, and by being on the tennis team, Herb learned much about life in America.

We let so many opportunities slip by us simply because they are part of school. It seems often that students think if it ' s a school project, it can ' t be fun. But the experience gained through activities should not be passed up. It can be valuable if we take advantage of it. Events planned during the school year introduce different people, new ideas, and demand working with others, besides specializing interests and opening up interests that many students never thought they could enjoy. The experience is available and all it costs is the time. 11

Grace Makes Adjustments To New Lifestyle Once you ' ve lived a certain way for 17 years, it ' s hard to change, commented foreign exchange student Grace Sabanpan. Living in Hobart proved to be a great difference from her hometown of Davao, Philippines. Food, clothing, and the temperature differences were the most difficult adjustments for Grace. While staying with the Robert Collins family, she occasionally enjoyed fish, which had been served daily at home. Seeing snow for the first time was one of the biggest thrills for Grace. Besides taking a major part in the AFS program, Grace and her American sister, Carol, were also in this years talent show.
