What It Means What does what mean? What is it? What kind of title is that for a book? What does it mean? What’s it? Who’s it? Where’s it? What’s it? What’s on second? Who’s on first? You know. It. Things. Stuff. THINGS! STUFF! What things? What stuff? You know. Like, take sports for ex- ample. What does it mean to be a benchwarmer or one of the jocks busting his butt out there every Friday night and not winning? What it means to be a successful coach with a bummer season. Oh, 1 see. Or ... .or ... .let’s take homecom- ing—what it means to be a fresh- man or a senior or a queen candidate that didn't win or a little kid in the parade. Oh. I get it. You ask them and then use what they say to describe what it means to be a senior, in the play, or prom, graduation......What It Means to be a student or a teacher or some- thing at Lone Tree Community School. Yeah. Of course, you w anna’ be car- eful it doesn't get too heavy and have people turning the page and going, “ What are they gonna' tell me what it means next?” Well sure. It’s got to be fun.

... MUCH MORE FUN HERE ... What does it mean to be a foreign exchange student at Lone Tree? Karin Brunner spent the year with the Wally Mueller family and has the answers to this question and more.’Tt’s much different then my whole past life. I’m mostly on my own making decisions and living my life like it’s the best.” How do you like it in Lone Tree?I’m glad that I’m attending such a small school where it’s easy to get to know almost everyone and everyone treats me really nice. Is it that much differrent than Ger- many?At home I’m in a big school, about 1200 students, we have to take 12 different classes which we have only two or four times a week. We also have to go to school for thirteen years and we stay in one room and the teachers have to run around. Who do you miss most and why?My best friend Claudia, because I need a person I know very well and I can speak about everything to (when I came here I felt so alone and misun- derstood.) What do you think about people giv- ing you crap about your language?I would like to hit them. But serious- ly, it’s not that easy to speak anoth- er language and I think it’s not fair to make fun of me when I say some- thing wrong. What is your most memorable mo- ment at Lone Tree? Till now it’s the day when I met Mr. Clemsen (he forgets so much and is much less strict than my principal at home.) Are your classes different then your clases in Germany? You have much more fun here with the teachers. To me they seem more like compan- ions than adults with lots of author- ity. W ho do you miss most out of your family?I’ve only got one brother who’s fourteen years old. I miss my mom most, we have a very good relationship. What do your parents think about you being a foreign exchange stu- dent?My dad supported me from the beginning what was a big sur- prise for me. My mom at first didn’t wanna’ let me go for such a long time but finally thought it was a big experience for me. I. Bill All, Chris Grostic. Dean Dauber. Mark Westerhoff Shelly Eden.
