Different Places Different Faces photo by Jim McKinley What is scary and at the same time exciting? What is unusual and at the same time normal? What is fun and at the same time frustrat- ing? The answer to all these ques- tions can be answered with three simple words; foreign exchange stu- dents. Being a foreign exchange stu- dent involves many adjustments for your normal way of living. One of the biggest is attending school. The dif- ferences between Leo and the school in West Germany, where I previously attended, are so numer- ous one could talk for twenty min- utes. The first and probably biggest reason is the hours spent in school. There are fifteen or twenty minute breaks between classes and school ends at the early hour of 1:30 or 2:30. Everything is a little bit stricter here in Leo. Things are a bit differ- ent in West Germany. If you are in 11th, 12th, or 13th grade you can leave the school building between classes to get something to eat or drink. You can go to the closest ar- cade or you can just go home. Another difference I noticed was there are no lockers in West Ger- many. Also, in Germany kids sit at one table because our tables are bigger. So the kids are closer to- gether and the result is that it ' s a lot easier to cheat than in America. The thing I like most about Leo is the activities which take place after school and in the evenings. I always enjoy going to football and basket- ball games and going together with friends after the game. In Germany, every kid has two hours of sports each week, that ' s all. We more or less only go to school to learn some- thing. Being an exchange student has many advantages along with the disadvantages. It is a very good ex- perience and creates memories to be thought of for many years to come. Jessica Brandt with Dan Conradi -23- exchange students lifestyles

m Enjoying conversation before they enter the dance after ttie junior high pizza party, Tom Baker and Ann Reece stand at the entrance to the auditeria when the dance was held. A Bailoon-a-gram is a popular way to say happy birthday. Shelly Halt is clearly excited about her present. Hey, did you hear what I heard photos by Jim McKintey Contrary to popular belief, Mon- days were indeed good for sonne- thing other tfian oversleeping and making up excuses why your home- work wasn ' t done. Mondays pr o- vided a chance to hear it down the grapevine and dig up the dirt. What was an innocent date be- tween Jack and Jill on Friday night made the steamiest soap opera look like Walt Disney by noon on Friday. Through class notes passed during class or in the halls and whis- pered tidbits, the ordinary soon made the Watergate scandel look like a misdemeanor. Just exactly why did people gos- sip? Jealously, (How in the world did she get him!). Revenge, (Did you hear so-and-so got caught doing such-and-such? ). Human nature ( well, I heard . . . ). Mind you, gossip was not always harmless human nature. For in- stance, we sometimes got caught passing notes by the teacher. That was embarrassing. Also, we might have gotten someone with a bad temper and a penchant for ven- gence very angry with us. That was painful. Everyone from our ministers to our mothers warned us to avoid gossip. Your question is probably How? Well, we could become hermits or we could wear earplugs, but neither of those was very practi- cal. A zipper across the lips wouldn ' t work very well either. So what did work? The answer was not easily found. Maybe the most logical answer was to take it for what It was worth. — Beth Gottfried -24- gossip lifestyles
