Norway may seem distant to the students here but it is the country that Alder senior Ingeborg Rohnebak calls home. There will be few mountain ski trips or beach parties like Inge is accustomed to in Norway while she is an exchange student here at Alder. Inge spends her summers in Norway swimming, working, playing soccer, and helping on the farm. Adjusting to the changes of American culture is a major chore for a Norwegian. Christmas in Norway begins on December 24 and at 5:00 p.m. the chur- ches ring Christmas in. Norwegian school is also dif ferent. School age is seven and one attends the same school for six years. After that a three year comprehensive school follows and high grades can lead to high school. Schools in Norway only break for two months in the summer. Life at Jonathan Alder is hard enough for the natives to handle, imagine how it must be for a Norwegian. As president of Alder’s FT A Chapter, Mary Grover’s duties extend further than presiding over regular club meetings. She is responsible for tutoring eight year old Lamphenh Onechanmy, a Laotion im- migrant, that attends Plain City Elementary School. Mary is one of three tutors that helps this second grader learn of American customs and the basics of our language. The individual attention she receives is necessary to improve her vocabulary, because ac- cording to Mary, Lamphenh is the only one in her family that can actually speak English. Mary also en- joys learning from Lamphenh, who relates stories of what it’s like to live in Laos, a dictated country, and the danger her family en- countered when trying to escape. Mary enjoys working with Lamphenh, grateful that she’s not only helping Lamphenh, but also her Laotion family. Some students wash dishes for extra money in high school. Others work at McDonald’s, Rax, or similar institutions. Then, there are students like Jeff Collier, who works after school as a full fledged Plain City Fireman. Jeff’s father and brother are firemen and he began as a photographer for the department’s records and worked his way up to being a firefighter. “It’s just something I’ve always wanted to do.’’ In your time of need, whenever your life is at stake or your cat is up a tree you can rest assured now because Alder's own Jeff Collier is looking after you.
