Christian Koepcke
Makes Home
In Albemarie
Studying at ASHS this year is
Christian Koepcke, our 6-foot, 152
pound, brown haired foreign ex
change student from Stuttgart,
Germany, who resides in the
home of Dr. and Mrs. Ed Bivens.
Chris, as he is better known by
everyone, made quite a change
when he came to us. He stated
that German and American
schools are very different.
“We go to school thirteen years
and there is no choice of subjects.
The teachers come to each class,
and the sanie group of students
is together all day. We go to
school about six hours a day,
often late in the afternoon, six
days a week for nine months with
the traditional holidays at Easter
and Christmas. As for my am
bitions, I plan to go to the uni
versity, but I don’t know what I
will be.”
Chris remarked that his favor
ite subjects are American Pro^
lems and physical education.
Basketball, track, soccer, swim
ming, and skiing (water and
snow) are among Chris’ favorite
sports. He also asserts that he
enjoys hunting, fishing, reading,
studying English, and playing the
cello. He also plays the piano
which he has studied for quite
sometime.
When asked what he liked to do
in the United States that he didn’t
do in Germany, he replied that he
liked “the river, the boats, and
water skiing, which I did not do
in Germany.” He added that he
liked ASHS better than the school
in his country.
As for what he likes in Ger
many that he hasn’t found here,
he said, “close friends.”
When asked what type of girl
he liked, Chris said, “There is too
much difference. I cannot say.”
On the subject of dates, Chris
concluded that the students his
age in Germany have not yet be
gun to date because they do not
drive until they are eighteen. He
did say that the teenagers often
dance and attend the theater,
which is quite near his home.
As Chris spoke of dancing, he
added that in his country the
teenagers dance the twist, cha-
cha, charleston, slop, fox-trot, and
the waltz — “when parents are
around.” He ended with “I
would laugh at the ‘dog’.”
Well, that is a brief synopsis
of our newest student. If we have
skipped any facts that you would
like to know, just ask Chris be
cause he is a nice, friendly boy
who would be glad to know that
his new fellow students are in
terested in him.
