Dirk discovers that time at North passes quickly Foreign exchange student. Dirk Wulff, arrived by plane at New York from Osnabrueck, Germany before school opened in September. To be selected as an exchange student, Dirk applied to the American Field Service in New York. He was then inter- viewed, tested, and selected on the basis of his application. Dirk lived with the Walter Helmke family who also had to apply and to be accepted by the American Field Ser ' ice. Dirk actively participated in Dome- land ' s way of hfe, while his singing talents entertained Redskins at con- certs and assemblies. Dirk ' s senior year was filled with many extra-cur- ricular activities such as A ' Cappella, Student Council, Troubadours, and All City Choir. Academically, Dirk took courses in French, Advanced Math, English, Government, and So- ciology. Along with many other challenging subjects, Dirk is taking French. He has had five years before, but he finds the transition from French to German to English difficult. Dirk finds something vaguely famiUar about Ft. W ' asne with its freezing temperatures and mounds of ice and snow. Not knowing everything about the English languag e or American Literature, Dirk makes good use of the library. Since Dirk enjoys reading he finds an assortment to choose from. 8 Foreign Exchange
