AFS students adjust to life in the USA Two AFS students from faraway lands, Jeanne Verster and Naoya Mitake, joined HPHS this year. Both say they decided to come to the United States ‘‘for the experience.”’ Jeanne, from Durban, South Africa, was graduated from high school in January 1981. She was a senior at HPHS and lived with junior Carolyn Brown and her family, say- ing that they got along well. Jeanne Participated in AFS, Hi- Lites, Round Table, and was on the senior play crew. She also spent many early morning and afternoon hours working out on the HP Swim Team. She played field hockey and swam at her high school in South Africa. Jeanne said that she “‘likes peo- ple’ and plans to go into diplomatic relations. She found school here easier than at home. Jeanne en- joyed the AFS trips which the inter- national students took to Panderas Canyon and to San Antonio. Although Jeanne often missed home, she said that as long as she kept busy the sadness wasn’t bad. Her favorite classes were American History and French. Naoya, from Yokohana, Japan, was Classified as a senior even though he was only 16 years old. He said that he found many differences between the U.S. and Japan. He enjoyed experiencing things here that they do not have in Japan. Among them was typing class which was his favorite because he understood it the best. Naoya was very active in AFS, helping at all meetings. He too went to Amarillo and San Antonio and had a great time. Although Naoya did not get very homesick, he did say that he missed his Japanese newspapers and Japanese food. Naoya also visited Los Angeles for a few days before coming to Dallas. Welcome to the States: Highland Park welcomes AFS students Jeanne Verster and Naoya Mitake. AFS Students e 17
