QHQ Gains European Trio Three exchange students, Paul Eroukhmanoff, Rolf Ehrenberg, and Helmut Giese, entered Shortridge on September 4, 1968. Paul, from Paris, France, lived with sophomore Tom Streeter and his family. His happy face, sur- rounded by many friends, was seen at most athletic events. Helmut, whose American family were the John S. Schechters, hailed from West Berlin, Germany. He quickly established himself as a good guy at Shortridge. Rolf, the Swedish exchange stu- dent, had no Shortridge brothers and sisters. He lived with Father Hadley the Provost of Saint Richard ' s School. Rolf was very active and interested in Shortridge ' s Student Council and with the problems in which it dealt. Of course, changing one ' s lan- guage, family, and friends for a year creates some problems. Teaching and testing methods were different, not to mention teachers and stu- dents themselves. Paul was sponsored by the Ameri- can Field Service and Rolf and Hel- mut were sent by Youth for Under- standing. Both programs have been sending students to Shortridge for several years. This has enabled Shortridge students to go abroad and represent their country and school. Rolf Ehrenberg ' s foreign fingers fly over the frets. Shortridge exchange students compare impressions of the USA. Paul Eroukhmanoff can enjoy an American joke as well as anyone. 12
