Three students take transatlantic trips Paul, who stayed with Mr. and Mrs. Nawrocki, became a usual sight to see around the school. Besides spending a total of sev- en years in junior-senior high school, students in Luxembourg had to study three foreign lan- guages with only a small selection of electives. According to Paul, many students were held back be- cause they did not keep their grades at a C level or higher. Also, in Luxembourg, there were no or- ganized sports run by the school. Instead, sports teams were run by the town, where people competed against one another. Although the students rarely dated because they were not al- lowed to drive until they were 18, could you ever imagine going to the local pub for a few beers after a hard day of school? This was about as common to Luxembourg students as getting a D.Q. was to us. 1 . Homecoming means painting windows. That’s what Debbie Kranz and Paul are doing. 2 .

What would it be like to spend your senior year of high school in a foreign country? Ask Senior Heidi Freckelton who participat- ed as an American Field Service exchange student. Heidi spent a year in Kiruna, Sweden, where she attended Hjal- mar Lundbogmskolan gymnasi- um (high school). From shopping and hiking in the mountains to skiing and watching the slaughtering of rein- deer, Heidi and her family had a lot of unforgetable experiences. After spending a week touring Stockholm, she returned there at the beginning of July to meet all AFS students for the trip home. Senior Laural Scelonge also had a taste of a different culture. She was an American Field Service exchange student who spent her summer in Triste and Cortina D’Ampezzo, Italy. In Triste, the first part of her trip, she stayed with Mr. and Mrs. Tullio D’Angolo, their son, Anrea and daughter Suzanne. Thirteen- year-old Suzanne was the only family member who spoke Eng- lish. But luckily in Cortina, her second Italian family of Mr. and Mrs. Giorgio Viola and their son, Marzio, everyone spoke English. The next best thing to being there must be meeting someone from there. Such was the case with Paul Wagner, the third AFS student from Diekirch, Luxem- bourg. 18 Forcij:
