Germans learn Rebel way of life I wanted to learn English and have a break from my school in Germany, said Rainer Keil, one of Tascosa's three foreign exchange students, all from Germany. I wanted to see if l'm old enough to do things without my parents, l was also certainly interested in the country. Keil came to Tascosa as a rotary exchange student. As a part ofthe rotary program, he changed homes every three months. Coming from Insy, West Germany, Keil lived with his parents, one brother and one sister. ln Germany,.he was a member of the student council and the youth group at his church. He was also a member ofa drama group and a special council at his school which was made up of six teachers, three parents and three students. Keil attended public school in Germany but for extra curricular activities, such as piano, he Went to a private school. Keil thinks Tascosa is a real big school in comparison to my school at home where we have only 600 students for grades five through thirteen. As a Rebel, Keil played the piano for the jazz band and was a member of the Spanish club. He was also involved with the youth group at the First Christian Church. After graduation, Keil returned to Germany to complete grades twelve and thirteen. Christiane Gehlert, Tascosa's other rotary student, came from Aschaffen- burg!Beggenbach, West Germany. Gehlert visited Amarillo three years ago. While here, she attended Amarillo High School for three days. I like Tascosa much better than AHS. It was too big and the people were not too ffiCf1d1Y- y I Continued .aw in 0-4 24 Student LifefForeign Exchange Students Above CHRISTIANE GEHLERT and RALF SKRIPITZ take a break for a pizza while spending a Staurday at Westgate Malllil Photo by Mike Stravato,
