Senior Features Viking Voyagers Imagine seeing beautiful castles and foreign cities along with new and exciting people. Seniors Steph- anie Long, Ken Leppert, Erik Van- derhoff, and Brookes Hunt along with advisor Donna Stern-Bredahl experienced all of the above during the summer of 1985. The trip was individually funded with the Ger- man American Partnership Pro- gram contributing one-eithth of the total cost. The group spent four weeks in Ladenburg, West Ger- many where they studied at a Ger- man gymnasium (high school). They also travelled to East and West Berlin — one of the most unique cities of the world. For Stephanie Long, a veteran world traveler, it was her second trip to Ladenburg. What she en- joyed most were making new friends and touring Berlin. Steph- anie said this about the experience, It was a blast! Let's do it again! Stephanie plans to return to West Germany in the future. Ken Leppert had a terrific time in West Germany, and when asked if he would like to return he re- plied, As soon as possible!” Eric Vanderhoff, a first-year German student, thought the five weeks in West Germany were fun. Eric liked the Olympic-sized swimming ptx)l in Ladenburg the most. This was Brookes Hunt's first time to travel out of the country. The trip the group took to Berlin was the most exciting part of the stay for her. She said this about the trip, 'I loved West Berlin. It was such an alive place compared to East Berlin. The city never sleeps, I can't wait to go again. All of the students who went on this adventure will never forget the wonderful things they saw and did while visiting overseas. Orient Express Yusuke Marimatusu's real home is in Tokoyo, Japan — a huge metropolis teaming with life and excitement. For a year Yusuke’s temporary home was Klamath Falls while he attend- ed Mazama as a foreign ex- change student. The 17 year- old senior lived with the Ondri- cek family and went to school with their son, Willie. Yusuke decided to become a foreign exchange student in America after he toured Cali- fornia in 1979- Due to a show regarding Oregon that he saw in Japan, Yusuke expected Kla- math Falls to be very spread out. However, it's almost the same as he expected it to be. One of the most exciting ac- tivities that he experienced was going to school and meeting new people. When asked what he thought of Mazama he re- plied, The people of Mazama are friendly, and it's fun to know American school life. As a matter of fact Yusuke’s favor- ite thing about the United States was how friendly the people were during his visit. Yusuke, a three-year English student in his own country, liked his algebra and English classes best. His favorite rock groups were Go West and The Fixx; he loved American ham- burgers. After Yusuke returns home he plans to enter a university and possibly major in commu- nications. He also plans to visit the United States again and tour the east coast. Yusuke’s many friends will miss him and wish him good luck in the future. Balancing The It's off to an early start at Or- egon Institute of Technology for three Mazama High School stu- dents. Why arc students Tina Max- well, Mike Novasad. and Greg Wunder already attending college courses.-' The reason is that Ma- zama doesn't offer an advanced ac- counting class. There are not enough advanced accounting stu- dents to constitute a second class at Mazama. The classes they attended, which lasted for the entire school year, earned them eighteen college credits plus high school credit. While attending O.I.T. they were 16-Senior Features
