OPPORTUNITY TO TRAVEL ABROAD New places and new faces filled the minds of the students who went to Paris and the German exchange students who came from Munich to Holt. For both groups the plane rides were long, but filled with anticipation of their arrival in Paris or Michigan. Eighteen German girls from Elsa-Brandstrom Gymnasium arrived at the Detroit Metro Airport on March 26. An equal number of Holt students and their families were there to greet the foreigners with open arms and smiles. Three weeks of touring, sightseeing and fun followed. Among the organized trips were a visit to the capitol and a fun day at Greenfield Village. Having an exchange student stay with you is a great experience, said senior Mike Wriggelsworth. I made a friend that I know I ' ll have forever! added senior Wendi Phenicie. Over spring break, 10 Holt students, along with Mr. Norm Garnett and Mrs. Betty Garnett, took a week- long transatlantic trip to Paris, France. The week went quickly and was throughly enjoyed by each person involved. The students saw many well-known sights including the Eifel Tower, Versaille Palace and Fountainbleau castle. It was a great experience filled with fun and friends. I ' ll never forget itl commented junior Mike Powers. FRANCE TRIP STUDENTS: P. Wagner. K. Schuler. J. Kressler, M. Heiser, S. Mau. J.

A NEW WAY OF LIFE. ADJUSTING TO THE USA American schools seem so ordinary, but not to three of the high school students. This year brought many unexpected surprises to our three foreign exchange students. He never anticipated how different HHS would be from his school In Germany. Michael Kohnke. an exchange student from Altenholz-Stlft said, This school is larger and I enjoy meeting more people. He also noted that our daily schedule remained the same-, religion was not taught In the school-, and more sports are offered. I was very surprised at how many sports your school has, he added. When not busy in school, Michael enjoyed running with the Cross Country Team, swimming and acting. Schools in Denmark were very different from Holt High School according to foreign exchange student Ole Toft. For instance, Ole ' s school contained grades first through tenth with only five to six hundred students. These students remained In the same classroom all day while the teachers switched rooms. Students were required to have three years of English, and religion was taught up through the seventh grade. There were fewer electives, and grades were recorded on a scale of zero to 13. Lars Olesen was one of two exchange students from Denmark at HHS. The students and teachers were very warm and friendly, he said. They really made me feel welcome and a part of their school. Lars really enjoyed going to the football games. Seeing all those men In uniforms crashing into one another. I just didn ' t understand what was going on, explained Lars. HOME. SWEET, HOME the thiree exchange students point to their homelands on the globe, donated by Mr. Jolly. RELAXING is Michael Kohnke in third year French class.

THE WORK SAVERS THE TIME SAVERS Holt High School teachers never know how much easier life could be until they had a student assistant. Even though a new restriction was imposed this year forbidding teachers assistants to use the ditto or photo copy machine, there were many other jobs an assistant could do to make the teachers day a little easier. Running errands, correction papers, typing and helping other students were common tasks given to assistants. They got the work done I can ' t do during the day. They are real time savers, believes Mr. Dave Toy. 124 Assistants
