Foreign Exchange Students Improve Relations .ef K Lenhart Svensson, Sweden Cecilia Hermelin, Sweden ,tlillrll-lille? Lenhart Svensson, Cecilia Hemielin, and Manne Witt proudly wave their Flags, The Foreign Exchange Program was first started at Hinkley in 1975. For the next three years, there were no Foreign Exchange students at Hinkley because homes for them could not be found. But in the summer before the 1979-1980 school year, Hinkley's PTA stepped up their plan to find homes for a few Foreign Exchange students. First, an advertise- ment was put in the Aurora Sentinelv re- questing homes for the students. After this effort failed, the Hinkley PTA suc- cessfully called parents to house the stu- dents. There were several reasons for Hinkley's participation in the Foreign Ex- change Program. First, the Foreign Ex- change and the American students had a chance to learn about each otherls cul- tures. New friends were made and the mystery of how people from other nations live was solved. Secondly, political rela- tionships were strengthened by inviting Foreign Exchange students into the United States. l Manne Witt, Denmark Academics 135
