Attending Foreign Schoolsw was a lot ofwork and fun as everyone who has had the experience of being a foreign ex- change student would say, including Nira DeBarros and Jill Lowery. Nira attended Foothill for the '69 -'70 school year, coming to us from Fortaleza, Brazil, as Foothill's first fe- male A, F. S, student, She was a regular student in high school and attended rallies and studied and ate during ltmch hour, but she was also a special student because she was an important part of the A. F, S. exchange program, In this role, Nira received gifts and awards and spoke at assemblies and different meetings. Jill Lowery was the first student to represent Foothill High School in a foreign country, Jill lived in South Africa during the summer of 1969. She brought back an authentic South African warrior shield, which she presented Foothill. Being an exchange student was an unfor- getable experience for both these girls.
