Baker High School. “Who are they and where are they from?” echoed throughout the halls in September. Well, they are foreign exchange students who spend time abroad in another coun- try outside of their own. Finland, Germany, Mexico, and Paraguay are the homes of Rauni, Frank, Carlos, and Ramon. One of them spoke German, while two others ram- bled on in Spanish, but still they understood each other. They were each totally different, yet wore the same shoes. They were alone in a strange land—until WAALAH! Mr. Coleman appeared. With warmest welcome C. W. Baker says, “Hola!”
