A Touch Of Germany With Us, Elke ... I'd like to say thank you to the McConnellsburg High School with all its teachers and students, who had to do with me somehow. I really en- joyed this past year “over here in your school.

Fer shur, the Valley Girl craze hits as shown by Bonita Baughman and Tonya Sheffield. Although the students of M HS did not exactly become slaves to fashion in the past year, they did become a little more aware of the world of high fashion. The girls especially began to in- dulge in the new, if not unusual fash- ions. Some of these included designer jeans, baggies, a variety of different tops, and several new styles of shoes. Probably the most peculiar of these was the return of the previous outdat- ed mini-skirts. All these fashions came in the widest variety of colors and designs. On the other hand, there were few changes in the boys style of dress. Boys could now be seen wear- ing designer jeans and baggies. Whether you were at Sach's, Bloomingdales. or MHS, no one re- mained untouched by the new and un- usual styles of the high fashion world. II

But one got used to things pretty quick, even all the homework! You see, my school sys- tem is quite different, but each school had its advantages and disadvan- tages. I can't and won’t say which is better because there arc two sides to everything. But, unlike in Germany, I never went to school here with reluc- tance.

My visit to Juniata College, a weekend in New York City, a visit to Washington D C., and making apple butter were all nice ex- periences. Sports, such as basketball and track, were among other things I liked. The only thing I can say that I hated the most was saying goodbye.
