' Fitting In ' No Problem It ' s often been said that a little kindess goes a long way. Well, for two junior AFS students, thiis attitude held true. Under the American Field Service, Sandra Krieger from Germany and Pasi Saikkonen from Finland came to the United States to attend high school for a year while living with a host family. Due to the fact that on the average they each had received about 7 years of English beforehand, they discovered that communicating with people was much easier than they had anticipated. ' Fit- ting in ' also ceased to be a concern. I was surprised to find the people here so open! admitted Saikkonen. Before the first semester had ended, it was obvious that they were having no problem ' fitting in. ' For example, Krieger had enrolled in ROP, attended the Mid- Winter Ball, and participated m lunchtime spirit activities. Tina Lasater, who hosted Krieger for most of her stay, re- marked, 1 really enjoy having Sandra as a friend. She ' s so fun to be around! Meanwhile, Saikkonen had joined the varsity soccer team. Pasi is a really cool guy. It ' s interesting because he ' s caught on to many of our habits - like Husky burgers and swearing, said teammate Mario Mendoza. Friendly attitudes all around got rid of any uneasiness for these two exchange students and also enabled Krieger and Saikkonen to ' fit in ' . I think the people here are much more easy going than in Germany, concluded Krieger. ••• Remaining after class, Pasi Saikkonen works diligently to finish his homework before going to soccer practice. Saikkonen, a Finnish exchange student, and Sandra Krieger, from Germany, both found their course work relatively easy due to their previous study of the English language.
