Wimbledon. 14 Views From England At the end of March the people at WHS may notice some new faces in the hallways. These are the British Exchange Students who visit us from Downend School in England. They are here to find out what the U.S. is all about. During their stay, they explore such places as Washington, D.C., historic New England, and the White Mountains. In quieter moments they visit WHS, shop in the malls, go to the movies, and spend time with American families. In June the roles are reversed and students from WHS go to live with their British hosts. From visiting ancient cathedrals and going grass skiing to meeting Craig T. Nelson, a star in the film Poltergeist”, at the Hard Rock Cafe, the month was full of excitement and action. At Brecon Beacons, also known as Fedu, our students met the ghost of Aggie” at an old haunted cottage in the walls and then fought with stubborn horses as the during an attempted horse back ride. The Americans also stayed at a youth hostel camp, the Roman Baths, and Stonehenge. In London our students allowed the pigeons from Trafalgar Square to sit on their heads, and they spent their money in Harrod’s, the world’s largest department store. Our British Exchange creates friendships between Americans and Brits which will last a lifetime. It is part of the best of our education at WHS. Everyone dressed in their rain gear for this outing in Wales.

A CHANGE OF SCENE Harrod’s Department Store in London can seem overwhelming to some tourists with its floors of expensive items. 16 The Hard Rock Cafe is a very popular place for tourist. Whenever students from Winnacunnet go abroad they always come back with a t-shirt from the famous Cafe. “London Bridge is falling down ... ” Did you know that this isn't the real London Bridge? The original was moved stone by stone to Arizona. It didn’t matter to the visting WHS students though. The scoreboard at Wimbledon didn’t reflect the 102 degree temperature that WHS students had to suffer in British fashion.
