 ■H The view of a foreign student “Comparing the American School System to ours in Austria, it is hard to tell which one is better ” said Ursula Auer, one of two AFS students. “Both my home town school in Austria and Wamego High School have their advantages and their disadvantages ” Austrian schools don’t have sports, only physical education classes. Ursula is enjoying being on the tennis team this year and staying active. “Sports have helped me to make friends and have loads of fun; although it was a strange feeling to compete with other players. ” Switching classes every hour is another new experience for Ursula. “We don't have to change classes ” says Ursula “The teachers move from room to room each class period It is less confusing to the students and they team easier since they’re always organized In one-room ” Everybody knows everyone in Austria Since the classes are small, your “best buddy” Is always there to chat with Here at WHS each student’s “best buddy” is either in the same classroom or busy studying in another classroom; but they are always there to chat with at lunch or after school. ” continued Auer. “I like being a foreign exchange student and I like going to school in Austria. It depends on which one you ’re use to. Each school is a uniquely different experience that anyone would enjoy going through, and it was a wonderful opportunity for me to get to come here. Wamego, as many students know, has a friendly atmosphere and a welcome feeling greets you as you walk in the door in the morning. says Ursula. Amy Jones, jr.

JIM EBERT “It’s been worth the wait. After seeing all the senior classes that have passed through the school since I was a freshman, I think ours is the best from sports to the class- room. ” KELLI EBERT CURTIS ECKART CAROL FOLTZ JERROD GERSTNER “I waited so long for my senior year to arrive, but it was worth the wait because after it, high school will be over and I’ll have only memories. LORI GRANNELL LYNDA HARSHBARGER ANGELA HESSE JAYME HOFMANN “You bet it was wqrth the wait to finally become a senior. Being a senior brings responsibilities. You have to start making a decision about your future. You are also supposed to set an example to the underclassmen. It's hard to believe that we are seniors! We've waited a long time and it was worth it. ” STEVEN HOLZ “Leadership responsibilities is one of the items 1 feel has been worth the wait. I enjoy being the ‘one ’ responsible and feel an inside happiness when I can say, 7 did that’. CHRISTINA HOWARD TONY JOHNSON 10
