Mary Kay Boschee left June 20, 1981 for a two month stay in San Sahastian, Spain. She gained a new family of six, the Martinez’s. She learned some Spanish, plus some of the Spaniards customs and hahits. Some of her time was spent going into Franee, shopping, and to the beach. New foods were tried, and she learned some differ- ent ways of preparing it. One fun experience was when twenty kids, including Mary Kay and her sis- ter, hiked into the mountains. They spent three days and two nights together in an old run- down house. Mette Olsen was brought to our town and school from Vig, Den- mark. She spent 11 months in Highmore and has spent most of her time, busy, as a senior. She was introduced to many of our school traditions throughout the year that were new to her such as Homecoming and Sweethearts. She stayed at Cliff Volek’s home for the first semester of school and with McGirr’s for the second. She has traveled around South Dakota to the State Capitol, skiing in the Black Hills, and to Sioux Falls. In January she spent three weeks in Arizona visiting a friend of hers from Denmark. She knew English but sometimes wondered what we meant when saying something. She introduced some new food combinations to her families and enjoyed jello and steak. VI %
