Christa Fraissl
High School Spotlight
Christa Fraissl, born in a little
town in Austria, went to Vienna
at the age often years to enroll in
a school. :
"The school system in Austria
is much different than it is here,"
Christa explains. "Those wishing
to go to a university must first
attend a preparatory school for
eight years."
In June of 1978 Christa was
graduated from the Vienna
school. She is now attending
Shelton High School as an
American Field Service exchange
student. She resides with Fred
and Anne Weaver of Shelton, who
have a 16-year-old daughter and a
13-year-old son.
Christa Fraissl was reared by
her grandparents, Brigitta and
Wenzel Hasslaver, who still live in
the small Austrian town where
"I play classical music," she
says, "but ! like to listen to all
kinds. My other hobbies include
reading, traveling and drawing."
In her Austrian home there is
a 16-year-old German shorthair
who grew up with Christa. In her
foster home she enjoys the
company of a cat and a puppy
Christa was president of her
class for one year in her Vienna
school. There she learned French
but no English.
"I started speaking English
when I came here," she says.
"Not only was the language
different, l: find the lifestyle, the
schools, the foods all very
different It was difficult at first.
Now I cook Austrian foods for
my host family."
Christa Fraissl met many
other AFS students on her trip to
ista spem b¢ earl,¥ ldhood Shelton..She boarded a train for
....... ¢aTa' € 'i ":Amwrdam, and men traveled
brother.
In Austria Christa attended an
academy to study painting,
drawing and stage design. In
Shelton High School she studies
U.S. history, pottery, illustrating,
cartooning and drama. She Serves

air with other exchange students
to New York and then to San

ways. Christa came by bus to

"All AFS students will meet
somewhere in June of 1979," she
remarks. "We'll have a few days
of socializing before the return
trip."
Students visit King
Tut exhiblt Monday
By CARMEN YATES
A big bunch of happy
excited kids boarded two buses
for a trip to the Seattle Center
this past Monday afternoon.
Prior to the trip the students had
talked about the exhibit and saw
some previews of the various
articles to look for once there.
And needless to say, the one
most popular item was the death
mask. There was only one thing
that detracted just a bit, that
being it tended to boa bit too
crowded at times, but other than
that it was afantastic experience
for the whole group.
There has been a slight time
change in the hours of the two
Pioneer kindergarten classes
beginning this week. Morning
session is from 8:30 to 11:05
a.m. and the afternoon class runs
from 12:40 to 3:15 p.m.
Coming up October 25 there
will be a planning meeting for

Judge Baker stated he did
not believe it would be to the
benefit of anyone to try the case
in Pierce County.
Judge Frank Baker, after a
hearing in Mason County
Superior Court Thursday, denied
a request for a change of venue
to Pierce County in the Shelton
school district's suit against the
architect and general contractor
for the Shelton High School
buildings.
The request for a change of
venue was brought by the
attorney representing the
architectural firm of Lea,
Pearson and Richards, a Tacoma
group.
The attorney stated that the
firm was a partnership, not a
corporation, and as such had the
right under the law to have the
action against it brought in the
county where it was located.
The general contractor,
Abscher Construction, Puyallup,
is a corporation and can be sued
