fCont'd from p.14j ardson, and Karen Dade all spent their sum- mers outside of the U.S.A. Karen went to Australia, Dennis went to Greece, Chontell traveled to Peru, and Paul went to Mexico. Two students, Cameo Handy and Solea Stubbs, left Salem for an entire year abroad, Cameo to Denmark and Solea to Uruguay. Friendly, enormous, smiling, fun, differ- ent, scary, and exciting were all words used by foreign exchange students to describe the United States. Michele Royer, senior from France, summed up her one complaint about the U.S. in three words, Too much hamburger! Although Cecilia Richter, senior from Swe- den, worked at a McDonald's in Sweden, she too was surprised at the large quantities of hamburger and fast foods consumed by Americans. On the other hand, Gus Garcia, a junior from Mexico, was much more complimentary to American food, naming peanut butter as one of his favorites. Another facet of American life was com- mented upon by juan Martinez, sophomore from Spain who, coming from an all-boys Catholic school in Madrid, enjoyed attending a co-ed school and described himself as being very happy here. For ,lens Thiede, senior from West Ger- many, the school year at South was a bit more relaxing. In his home country he was a gym- nasium student. Gymnasium is a German university-preparatory school. Calculus and physics were two of Jens' favorite classes. Annemarieke Veldhorst, senior from Hol- land, also took advantage of her year in the States but not necessarily on an academic lev- el. She participated in David and Lisa, the fall play, and she named windsurfing, sailing, water-skiing and tennis among her favorite American pastimes. She was a member of the tennis team, and when asked about her class- mates she described American girls as being guy crazy. For Sofia Lanteri, senior from Italy, the ma- jor difference between American teenagers and Italian teenagers was the number of American high school students who work. She described Italian teenagers as being much more dependent on their parents until they are finished with school. Fabrice Bourgeat, freshman from France, described South as being great and much better organized than his school in France. When he returned to France he expected to especially miss the after-game dances, which they did not have at his school in France. Kathy Knapsey, senior from Australia, also enjoyed being at South, and her goal to be- come involved was fulfilled early on in the year as she was a member of the Pep Club, the International Club, the Spanish Club, and the Ski Club. Each exchange student, whether American or foreign, experienced an entire spectrum of emotions, from joy to sorrow, and it was a year of learning, sharing, and growing that none of them would ever forget. Come on now, let's stop kidding ourselves. We all knew that the stork didn't bring us the ,wwf ' 1 h 1, I M. , A- 4 W ,ff f V X Q 1 , . i I a I i 1 45 I M 0- . Salvador Reyes, staff photographer, is shocked after finding negatives of entire yearbook staff in their bikinis. Much to the yearbook staff's relief, the incriminating pictures were not published. Clypian, or the Sword 8: Shieldlor babies for that matter!! but how many of us actually knew where our newspaper or yearbook came from? Safeway? Wrong again! At school there were three very mysterious rooms that struck fear into the hearts of men. The first of these was the Clypian room, with mad reporters rushing about and people frantically typing up their articles while oth- ers were cutting and pasting them up. Work- ing on the newspaper staff included a wide range of responsiblities. Matt Runkel, as the Editor-in-Chief, commented, The editor's job is the most difficult because it requires the broadest responsibility. It was common- ly agreed upon that the most difficult job among the staffers was getting the articles in on time because they only had an average of three days to write a story out. The second of these rooms was the photo lab, down in the depths of the school. Through knowledge of the secret soon found himself in the darkroom, surrounded by pho- tographers and the chemical smell of devel- oping solution. It was here, in the dark, that some of the greatest artistic endeavors to ever leave the school were produced. The photo staff mainly catered to the year- book and the newspaper, but they also cov- ered events for the student council and other extra functions. Those extra functions cov- ered a wide range of events. Photographers were found at nearly every sporting event and at everything from the NHS ice cream feed to the impromptu snowball fights on the front lawn. The really dedicated ones even carried their cameras all day, waiting for just that perfect picture. With Shan Anderson as Head Photographer and Mr. Jacobsen as ad- visor, the photo staff managed successfully to catch us at our best fsay cheese!J, our worst fthe yearbook could easily get out of debt through extortionl, and ultimately they caught the real us in real life-but that's school life! Going back upstairs and cautiously enter- ing Room 171, the Yearbook room, one never knew what he would behold-but he had to be prepared for just about anything and ev- erything lespecially at deadline timelj. A new experience was that of having Co-Editors. The co-editors were Romy Mortensen and Tony Mattesich, and they worked together to head up the production of the masterpiece. A normal day found Tony busily doing nothing and Romy running about the room fleeing from her hallucinatory cats lwhich conse- quently followed her everywhere-meow!!j. Yearbook was definitely an interesting exper- ience. The staffers handled the new layout style very well. The only reported problem was that many of the staffers lost a great deal of weight due to the absence of Friday Food throughout the year, In any event, the year- book staff will happily accept all the compli- ments, and none of the complaints, for this book. Like this article, school life finally had to come to an end thank you for a funky time! Q School Life 15
