ST. CLAIR WELCOMES THE EXCHANGE Wildshausen, West Germany--Michele Gilleran spent part of the past summer in West Germany, her trip was sponsored by Youth for Understanding (YFU) and the St. Clair Lions Club. Michele ' s host family didn ' t speak any English, but she said communication was no problem and at times it was even funny. She also said she had the time of her life and highly recommends foreign exchange to anyone who has the opportunity. Michele is planning on hosting her host sister, Brigit, to America this summer. Goor, Nethlands--Jul ia Brabender spent her past summer in the Netherlands. She stayed with the Tusveld family and their three children. She thought the main cultural differences were that the people seemed to be more open with each other, and that kids were given more freedom and treated with more respect. Julia had a great time and plans to return someday. Heikki Makynen--Hei kki , from Tampere, Finland, spent his senior year seeing what American high schools were like. The thing he liked most about America was the people. He also said St. Clair was much smaller than his high school in Finland. Heikki has been very active this year, he played football for the Saints, was on the Homecoming Court, and was a member of the Swim Team. Heikki plans to return to the States after he finishes college. Wolf-Reiner Kruger--Wolf one of his favorite things about America is that the driving age is only 16, he also said there are more open spaces for hunting and snowmobiling. One of the biggest differences he found is that in Germany there is a different scheule every day, usually about 12 classes and to attend a university, 13 years of school is required.
