Prem photo The Anderson exehange By Julie Parsons Seven students fromn Scandina- via and Europe are getting a taste of the Canadian education system as tbey attend classes at Anderson CVI this year. Pettar Gran, of Norway arni- ved in August and is enjeying bis one-year visit to Canada. A grade 12 student at Ander- son, be says one of the most notable differences between Nor- way and Canada is the schoi system. He finds schooi here more diffil- cuit and "scbools in Norway only bave 400 to 500 students" as com pared te the more than 1,500 stu dents at An derson this year. In November, Odile Pelet and Mattieu Leimgruber will return te their native Switzerland te complete a three-montb stay in Canada that inciuded a visit te severai tourist attractions. Leim- gruber was aIse p art of the Anderson voileybali teain that went to Halifax. He bas mixed emotiens about leaving Canada. It's a nice place, but limnet reaily used te it eneugh te want te stay." "There are many tbings that are better here., but certainly net ever ting, says Pelet. MtraT-.rymourzadeb, Bern- bard Winter, Burkbard Schelis- cbansky and Helmut Hiadin of Sweden are on excbange here for tbree weeks. "It's a pty," says Scheiis- cbansky, Pbecause you can't know a country like Canada because it's ebig if yeu're only bere for three weeks." "I think the people here are nicer than tbe people in Europe. I know people in other European countries aren't as friendly as they are bere." Friendsbips bave made it easier for the Austrian students te improve their English, but they don't think that it will be te their advantage in scbooi when tbey return. 'e have te write our tests, there are ne oral tests," says Teymeurzadeh. The Austrian students even taugbt a German class at Ander- son. The students ail note that Soutbern Ontarie weather is similar te tbat in their home. tewn in Austria. "Butwe don't .have se .nmuch, wind ihý eur town, Graz," says Teymourzadeh. «I wouldn't move te, Canada because I am missing the Euro- pean culture," says Scbelis- chansky. "I like Canada but it's Norway thant is my country," says Gran. Anderson students who are bil. leting the exchan ge students are Sharon Sebdeu, K,Çristen Mead- well, Janine Johnston, Kirsten Reveler, Bethany Muir, Jennifer Biais and O.J. Santiago. Almost ail will be leaving for their own excbange visits to Switzeriand and Austria next March. "Wben she leaves it will feel empty," says Biais about ber billet, Odile Pelet. 've learned a lot just about ber being bere." lntago bas aiso learned much from bis billet, Leimgru- ber. "Just wbat ideas be had about Canada before he came were interesting," says Santiago. "Whenhe first came he was trying te speak English, and be wouid stop and tbink in German before speaking English. "Now be doesn't stop te think in Ger- man, be's thinking in Engiish.»'> Whitby students have noted that the exchange students use "Canadian» slang. "Seventy-five per cent of al the music (in Europe) is in Engi- ish," says L.-imgruber. "hey use English on commer- diais in Germany, " says Winter. "Ail the peopile use Engiish to swear, » laughs Pelet. "Enghsbh is trendy!" says Leim- gruber. Henry Street H.S. Kelly O'Hare Wel Henry students, it seems that out of 165 of you suveed - from grades 9 ta, 13- virtually aIl of you think that our shoo as aimost no spirit at al Basically, everyone thinks it "sucks." Yet, as quoted by Jenny Treleaven, 'There are varying degrees of suckiness." For instance, Geof Vickers, a grade il student, feels that, "Ites not that great." Donna Matthews, a grade 13 student, says, 'There is no such thing as school sprit here. I think the entire school wouid bave to want it in order to, prove it." Personally, I agree with both statements, and there are a great number of other students who feel the same way. Se, fellow Hawks, what can we do ta improve our spirit? A lot of you think that a football team would boost school spirit. Well, I hate to break it ta you guys but ... we do have a football teain. And it's a good football, a winning football team. Well? Where is that spirit? Alright, I must admit that there were a few more suggestions, such as: dance-a-thons, pep rallies (that was another popular one), a car rally, a fair, a giant game of Twister on the football field, and, last but not least, the return of Hawkman. With ail of these brilliant suggestions I fail ta, believe that HSHS bas ne spiit. Yet se many people believe that we don't. Why is that? We can go ta, our students' council with these suggestions. They are ready, willing, and able ta try anything te boost our school if we want the spirit we have ta create it ourselves. Togetber, as a team, we can do it. Bob Barter, head of the spirit committee, 18 willing ta try anything te make school fun for everyone. Bring your suggestions ta hlm. To make it easier maybe Bob could wear a sign around his neck explaining who he is. Then there definitely won't be any reason for Henry students to continue to, complain about achool spirit. Bob will be available te heip. With the whoie echool behtind hlm HSHS is sure ta have school spirit by the end of 1989.' ' *-' " ?-%* 'u** I
