The most recent visitors are: (1 to r) Sohnke Schmidt of Germany and Cleber Salimon of Brazil. In late January, Laura Silver and Tia Bourne will by Tammy Hill "I think everyone should try it once," was Cleber Salimon's comment on the international exchange student student programs taking place across the world. Cleber, a Rotary exchange exchange student from Brazil, is presently enrolled in a grade eleven class at Bowmanville Bowmanville High School. He commented that the program program is really good experience experience and gives the student a chance to learn to live by himself, meet people, and observe how. other families see the world. Cleber arrived in Bowmanville Bowmanville on August 20,1986, and since then has found the biggest difference to be in the climate and the.government. the.government. He suggested iome of the highlights ofhis stay have been trips to Toronto Toronto and the Highway 401. Iota Psi Chapter Holds Supper By Liz Jones In December the members of Iota Psi Chapter of Beta Sigma Phi enjoyed a Christmas pot luck supper at Donna Kay's home. This beautiful home, decorated for Christmas in pioneer style, provided a great location for our Christmas meal together. After dinner we exchanged Secret Sister gifts around a huge Christmas tree. Recent programs presented in our chapter have been very interesting. Anna Bragg explained the fascinating field of reflexology and Mary Mutton treated us to a showing of her prized doll collection. Earlier, Gloria Gordon also showed us her collection, one of postcards from the east coast where she grew up. Debbie Van Londen has joined our chapter and we have two new pledges, Rachel Vaughan and Pat Harford, all welcome additions to our growing chapter. . In the new year we look forward to a mixed games night, more interesting programs, and an evening in February when we will be welcoming Xi Zetta Lambda as our guests. However, 16-year-old Sohnke Schmidt, of Germany, Germany, found hockey to be the focal point of his trip. Sohnke came to Bowmanville Bowmanville through the American Scandanavian Student Exchange Exchange on August 19, 1986, and will be returning home in early July. A common difference the two students found in their travels was the school system. system. School begins at 7:00 a.m. in both Brazil and Germany Germany but students are usually usually home shortly after 1:00 p.m. However, the boys do attend regular classes every other Saturday as well. Both Cleber and Sohnke say they would recommend an exchange program to anyone and intend to return to Canada for another visit. While two students at B.H.S. are midway through their exchange visit, there are three Bowmanville High School students preparing preparing to take part in the Ministry of Education's six month exchanage program. Sohnke offers this advice to the departing Bowmanville Bowmanville students: He says "sports are good to become involved in. It's a good way to meet a lot of people:" . But 17-year-old Cleber also warns them to research their trip. "There is a lot more you should know about the program before you get there," he adds. The three grade eleven students leaving late this month are: Tia Bourne, Laura Silver and Tracey Welsh. Tia and Laura are both scheduled to leave for Quebec on January 29 and return on May 1. Tracey does not yet have a departure departure date set for her trip to France. Each of the girls have hosted students from these areas, so they will be returning returning to stay with their guests during the second half of the program. Although the girls will not receive transferable credits credits from their schooling while they are away, B.H.S. French instructor, Ms. Krakenberg said, "We feel they receive enough experi- vaotouy v 00 civE $100 ^WODBURN^VES m ,LESVPPUESUSl Fireplace Plus 900 Hopkins SI, (at Burns) Whllby 416-668-3192 The Natural Energy Shop North Front (at Evans) Bollovlllo 613-966-8899 y be travelling to Quebec and Tracey Welsh is flying to France. The three grade eleven students are participating participating in the Ministry of Education six-month exchange exchange program. ence through the travel." Both Tia and Laura are hoping to learn more French while they are staying staying in Quebec and be able to apply what they have already already learned. Sixteen-year-old Tia says she is looking forward to the experience and the Quebec Winter Carnival. But Laura stated that she is interested in having more of an understanding understanding of the relations between between Quebec and Canada. She is also looking forward to meeting new people. Seventeen-year-old Tracey Welsh, who will be visiting France, said: "I like the idea of going all that distance." distance." Tracey said that while the exchange student from France France stayed with her she found that three months wasn't long enough. Tracey would like to stay for more than three months, but felt that a year would be too long. She is also looking forward forward to exploring the differences differences between Europe and Canada. And she wonders wonders if they will speak the same French that she has learned in school. Bowmanville High School has been hosting exchange students since the early 1970's and had five such students students visit in 1986. Jack Munday, head of student student services at B.H.S., said: "I think the exchange programs are beneficial and all the students seem to get along very well during their stay."
