Foreign Exchange Students Highlight Year Broken Bow High School was fortunate to have two foreign exchange students this year. Sue Newland of Australia arrived in January 1984, and left in January 1985. Robbert Smink of Holland was in Broken Bow from August 1984 to June 1985. ‘‘Being a foreign exchange student has been one of the greatest and most fulfilling experience of my life, as it is for most other ‘exchanges’. It is a wonderful opportunity to spend time in another country and learn about its people and customs, while having a great time doing things and visiting places and meeting people you might otherwise never have done, visited or met. “To think of what I might have missed if I hadn’t spent a year in Broken Bow, Nebraska!” —Sue Newland “Since I came here in August, I've been involved in sports. I started out in football, then I participated in basketball. By then it was the end of February, within a week I started to practice track. This has been a wonderful year. As soon as I finish my education (in Holland), I will do everything possible to come back here.” —Robbert Smink (Top) Sue Newland and Robbert Smink wait for Carl Sunberg’s autograph during the FCA banquet.
