CULTURAL EXCHANGE During the 1986-87 school year Bartlett Yancey and Caswell County played host to three foreign exchange students from Central and South America. While Columbian high school graduates Maria Torres and Grace Donoso used the year at B.Y. to learn about a new culture, Mexican Sergio Portillo was completing his regular senior year at Bartlett Yancey. All three students were sponsored by the Spanish Club and Mrs. and Ms. Balmori of the language department. At times English was a problem, espe- cially the Caswell County dialect, but since all three were eager learners, they adjusted well. As well as attending classes full time, Grace, Maria, and Sergio were honored at the homecom- ing activities and participated in other ex- tracurriculars. Although they were in foreign culture, the rural scenery of Caswell reminded them of home. The efforts of the student body to make Grace, Maria, and Sergio feel welcome seemed to be successful. Maria spoke for all three when she said, “The people are friendly and that makes me feel good.” During the 1986-87 school year Maria, Grace, and Sergio made us feel good too. Alonza Jeffries DECA.

Having two other Spanish speakers around helped make studying easier. 26
