IT ' S Hard to Rock to Rock Around You ' re Right on Time It ' s TRICKETT, TRICKETT, TRICKETT, TRICKETT . . That was the unforgettable theme rap of the English ex¬ change students who owed many thanks to Constance Trickett for making the trip possible. Here she is caught in an affectionate hug by her dear friend John, who offered to play chauffeur for the exchange in England. X c h a n e rxcel lente! Ausge- Lzeichnet! (outstanding) Magnifique! and a bloody good time. These were just some of the reactions to the ex¬ change programs held. In a fit of international fever, students went to Spain, Germany, En¬ gland, and France, working to¬ wards Dr. Mitsakos ' goal to give every student an international experience. For three weeks over the summer, 20 German ill IV students explored Berlin, Bonn, and Bremen. Senior Laura Rutherford said it was The most fantastic, unforgettable time.

The trip was very successful as was shown when interest was high among the many juniors who heard about it. Many have already signed up for next year ' s excursion. In September, 17 students and two teachers from Granada, Spain, took over our Spanish classes. While the kids enjoyed U2 concerts and trips to the Cape, they were also taught about Latin customs, art, and heritage. Louis Alvarez, WFIS Adviser to the Spanish Ex¬ change, loved the hectic three weeks, and is looking forward to the next trip. Saint Germainj-en-Laye was the destination of French students this spring. The Louvre, the Eiffel Tower, and the palace at i sailies were all stunning, but more shocking to Nancy ini erlwas the morning she tifb and realized she had French! — by Joan Matelli . . lnieniation

IN one of the many gorgeous chapels in England, Tammy Berman, who participated in the WHS ' first student ex¬ change to England, admires the impressive architecture that gives England so much of its personality. The ex¬ change was founded by Constance Trickett, and the En¬ glish counterparts came from Plymouth, on the southern coast of England.

Are We ‘In”? S tyles and trends seem to come and go more quickly than the summer break. Depending on who you see while traversing the halls of our school you could suppose that you ' re at a heavy metal concert, a Sid Vicious convention, Woodstock, or you ' ve indeed been shot by an alligator and gone to preppie heaven. And yes, it will be remembered as the year of the mini-skirted fresh¬ man invasion. cal tastes here range from avant- garde to jazz to heavy metal. The most popular type is, of course, POP! (Well, somebody must lis¬ ten to it.) Some students spend hundreds of dollars each year keeping up with their favorite bands ' latest releases and the Boston area offers a wicfe range of radio stations for those who are not quite so extravagant. The school radio station WHRS is a prime example of the diversity of musi¬ cal tastes here. Our school has its share of fash¬ ion mavens, people who un- doubtably make a career of reading magazines and cruising the mall. Then there are the, I ' m a senior so I don ' t care any¬ more types, as well, who sport sweatpants and sweatshirts bearing the name of any college to which they ' ve applied. Mostly the fashion at our institution can ' t be categorized. It seems that as students grow older they become more individual. Where do fashion and hair trends have their genesis? With the constant media blitz en¬ countered by the average teena¬ ger the answer is, of course, in imitation of favorite stars. Musi- Concerts are also a big event at the high school. Bands who played Boston in the fall include U2 to Pink Floyd and Suzanne Vega to Simple Red. For the most part taste in music is as diverse as the students themselves — there are preppie headbangers and football players who listen to Mozart. Whatever you choose to wear or listen to there ' s a place for you here. — by Lauren Murray BENE!! spazzes Latin scholar, Sarah Tobiason, after her arrow says heelllo ..to the target during archery class in gym.
