October 24, 1974 Qglo Summer Is Exciting SAL€MIT€ i By Wendy Wykoff year at Salem, many peo- L have asked me, “How was Tell me about it!” My wreUon is always a big smile “It was fantastic!” After £t I’m speechless because the whole summer seems like a big Lm International Summer ^hool in Oslo was definitely the Latest and most worthwhile ex- Jerience I have ever had. Now that I look back at those fast and wonderful six weeks, I realize that the best part of the summer school was the people there Over half of the students were from the United States, but the remainder of the students represented almost fifty countries. It was great to learn about so many foreign cultures through the unique people at the school. There were many different types of peo ple at the summer school, and they differed not only in political beliefs but clothes, customs, man ners, religious beliefs, and even dancing. In spite of these differ ences, we formed a unified group and learned that people are basi cally the same all over the world. ^The second best part about being at the International Sum mer School was being in Norway. I expected it to be a beautiful country, but I never dreamed it would be the fairyland that it truly is. Of course we spent most of our time in Oslo, the big, bust ling city filled with gardens, cafes, beautiful parks, and tourists. The countryside of Norway, however, is absolutely beautiful with its rolling green mountains, water falls, and clear blue water. We had plenty of time to travel throughout Norway on the week ends and during the mid-term break. The second weekend of school, we went on a trip to Lillehammer, a small town near Oslo, which was sponsored by the summer school. During the mid term break, I had the great ex perience of traveling to Kjeringoy, a tiny village far above the Arctic Circle on the Arctic Ocean. Traveling in Norway was a great way to get to know the Norwegian people. They are a healthy, vivacious people and are very natural and down-to-earth. The Norwegians especially im pressed me in that they were extremely warm and friendly to any foreigner with whom they had even a remote connection. Several families “adopted” me along with a few of my friends, and they treated us almost like royalty. The courses at International Summer School were stimulating and were taught by very inter esting people. We learned about Norwegian life and culture in the classroom and were able to ob serve what we had learned in our interactions with the Norwegians themselves. It was also interest ing to compare Norwegian society to American society, although I realized more than ever that America is vastly different in all areas. The classroom was not the only learning experience by any means. I learned more about peo ple in general from attending the summer school than I probably ever will.

Singing in the shower has al ways been an enjoyable occupa tion for me until not too long ago, after many unsuccessful attempts, I realized that four part harmony was impossible for one set of vocal cords to attain. So rather than submit to the lonely fate of “single singing”, I tried out for the Archways; planning almost until the last minute to take my shower curtain for security! The audition was somewhat traumatic but after the initial panic, it turned out to be most enjoyable. The next morning when my name was on the list of those chosen for the group, I was excited indeed, no more “single singing”! Since that morning three things have impressed me most from singing with the Archways. First, the full enjoyment of songs I’ve always loved but often have forgotten. Even though I realize that I’ll never sound like Barbra Strei sand, it’s fun to sing her songs! Second, the originality and talent of the girls I’m working with is amazing.
