cause. One reason for the pro- ductive year was more students from outside of the council were involved in the council by serving on special committees ' stated Wiesmann.

Successful Year! Representing the entire student body, the student council, under the leadership of president Joe Wiesmann, accomplished many of their goals this year. To improve student-faculty relations, the council held the annual faculty luncheon, where school issues were discussed and several ideas exchanged.

Monette and Kathrin—Friends for Awhile Being able to adjust to a dif- ferent culture could be difficult; however, Monette Christiansen and Kathrin Huggler had no pro- blems fitting into everyday life at Milan during their one year stay. Monette Christiansen lives in Denmark in a small town called Nordborg, which lies on a tiny island called Als. On this island her parents, Thor and Jytte Chris- tiansen, own a dentist clinic in their home. Having only a sister, Bettina, Monette has long waited for a brother. She got this wish by coming to the United States to live with Ed and Darlene Lewis and their son Jimmy. Monette's hobbies in Denmark are riding her horse, Faust, for pleasure and entering horse shows. She competes in jumping and has won first place many times. During her stay in the United States, Monette encountered many different experiences—two of which were becoming the Aurora Farmers' Fair Queen and a Milan Homecoming Queen Can- didate. Monette found the thought of being a Queen hard to comprehend, due to the fact that in Denmark no such events take place in their schools. When Monette returns to Den- mark she will be enrolled into a college much like ours. There she will be studying nursing.
