Wander Indiana Wander Tell City The yearbook staff went to the student parking lot in search of the variety of transportation of student drivers. Most of the students with licenses drive to school in what they have begged, borrowed, or pleaded for. The newest of the cars we found was a 1984 Pontiac Fire- bird driven by David Schank. The oldest was a 1964 Ford Falcon driv- en by Kevin Lautner. The most ex- pensive car was Denny Barket's red Corvette. Another form of trans- portation other than a car was Brad Eberle's Bronco. These are just four of the students who feel it is neces- sary to drive themselves to school, while others rely on just hoofing it. Most TCHS students with licenses take what they can get! Above: Kevin Lautner's reconditioned Falcon is made complete with a horn that plays fifty different tunes. Below: Dave Schank will see many more summers to come with the T-Top out; his odometer reads only 98,000 miles. Above: A ‘69 Corvette is worth about $15,000 today, but in the future this collector's item may be worth a mint. Denny Barket is certain to hold on to it. Below: While most students slay at home during the snow season. Brad Eberle's Bronco gets him where he wants to go. Transportation 13

GUESTS VIEW NEW HORIZONS Tell City High School is privileged to host three foreign students for the 1984- 85 school year. Anja Biester, Estela Escabar, and Javier Herrero are all from different cultures, but will experience many of the same difficulties, adaptions, and adventures in our American society. When told about the foreign exchange student program from her English teacher back in Hannover, Germany, Anja Biester found the program to seem interesting and applied. The organization then placed her in Tell City from August 15, 1984 until July 9, 1985 un- der the care of Mr. and Mrs. Roland Mulzer. Although ad- justing to American life wasn't difficult for Anja, school life was. In Germany school is spread throughout all twelve months with four breaks with- in: six weeks in the summer, a week in the fall, and three weeks for both Easter and Christmas. Anja's German school day lasts from 7:45 to 1:00. Because of this short day, the students are not given a lunch period, but two fifteen minute breaks instead. Natu- rally, Anja misses her parents, but she also misses the big city life. Javier Herrero's story is not as simple as applying and being placed. His mother wanted him to come to the USA to bet- ter his English and asked one of Javier's uncles if he knew where Javier could stay. His uncle had come to Tell City to present a conference on Spanish and had stayed with the Gary Becker family during his stay. Javier's parents then contacted the Beckers and asked if Javier could stay. They agreed, so he is here for his freshman year. Javier stated that because of the new vocabulary, English class is dif- ficult. Making new friends was an obstacle he had to overcome along with realizing that missing his parents, two broth- ers, and one sister, and Ger- man shepherd, Yonn is only natural. Although from another con- tinent, Estela Escobar's path to Tell City is similar to Anja's. Estela was told about the Youth for Understanding, an organization much like the Foreign Exchange Program, and was sent to stay with the tom Weber family in Troy. She arrived from Monteria, Colom- bia in January and will stay until July. Back across the miles, Estela has four brothers, one sister, three dogs, one cat, and three turtles. Besides a lit- tle trouble with English con- versation the first couple of weeks, adjusting to USA life was not difficult; Colombian life is much the same for teen- agers as well as for the family. 12 Foreign Students
