Foreign Exchange Benefits Many Foreign exchange at H.H.S. was at an all time peak this year. Nine stu- dents interacted with coun- tries as far away as Malay- sia and South Africa. H.H.S. sent four students abroad. Two A.F.S. stu- dents traveled to Malaysia and Denmark; two Rotary students ventured to South Africa and Denmark. Hudson High also hosted Five foreign students. Three A.F.S. students were hosted from Finland, Austria, and Costa Rica, and two Rotar- ians were welcomed from Japan and Bolivia. All of the students at Hudson High benefited from the many experiences shared with these students. COLLEEN O’ CONNELL “Visiting Malaysia was an unique exper- ience and I learned much from the people and their culture. Colleen stayed in the town of Johre Bahru on the southern tip of the Malaysian peninsula. She lived in a remote area and rode to school in a land rover. Her father was an army officer and her family included five children, four girls and two boys. ANN MUELLER I could really write you a book about my wonderful stay here. What a super exper- ience. Ann spent her senior year in South Africa as part of the Rotary Exchange program. Ann first lived in Amanzimotic, Africa which is right on the Indian Ocean. She then moved to a sugar estate in the same area. Ann experienced such extraor- dinary sights as a full moon eclipse, Afri- can wildlife and sugarcane cultivation. KRIS GRAVEN Denmark was like a second home to me and I was flattered to be asked by my family to stay. Kris lived in Hcden, Den- mark, which is located on an island off the main penninsula of Denmark. It is a very small town of around 300 people. Kris' family included a fourteen year old sister living at home and a twenty year old sister living next door. Kris felt that the people were extremely friendly and hospitable during her stay. JAV DOMMEYER ‘7 met so many people in Denmark it was hard to remember who was who. but my Danish is getting better every day. Jay was a Rotary student in Hillcrod. Den- mark. It is a town of around 33,000 people situated 33 kilometers from Copenhagen. Jay's first family included a fourteen year old brother who was in the U.S.A. at the time and a twenty-two year old brother living at home. He lived with two or three other families during his stay. Jay kept active with swimming, sailing, scuba div- ing, and attended a trampoline club, in addition to his regular school work. 22 A.F.S.

Brozek Reigns New Pepper Queen The annual Pepperfest celebration gave H.H.S. junior girls the chance to become the Pepper Queen of North Hudson. Festivities included a tea party for the girls given by Nadine Schmitz, last year’s princess. The climax of the celebration was the coronation. Last year’s queen, Audrey Glasbrenner, passed on her crown and roses to Kathy Brozek. Dawn Offner and Angie Mockler were chosen as Kathy’s prin- cesses. An unusually young Godfather, Jeff Dabruzzi, was voted in as an escort for the girls to their various parades and festivities. I.

ANDREA JAQUEMAR 7 feel I'm really “living by being in the United States as an A.F.S. student. I feel I am getting the most out of life and am learning all that I can. I never will regret coming to the U.S., but there is still no place like home. An- drea is an A.F.S. student from Austria. She is eighteen years old and has graduated from high school in her home town of Brcgcnz, Vorarlbcrg. Austria. Andrea lived at home with her Austrian parents and two younger brothers. Her U.S. host family is the Peterson's. TETSU SHI KATA The language was also a problem for me but I'm learning quickly. Tctsu is a Rotary student from the city of Kyoto, Japan. It is a large city with a population of around one million peo- ple. Tetsu has two older brothers back home. Upon arriving in the U.S. he spent three months with the Turner family and is presently living with the Kelly family. MIRIAM LOBO The English language was a great chal- lenge for me when I first came to the U.S.. but I have improved my knowledge and have no problem now. Miriam is from Puntarcnas, Costa Rica. Miriam loves all American foods and dancing. She is taking a ballet class from a local teacher while here. Miriam has two older sisters and one younger brother back home in Costa Rica.

Barbro is from the capitol of Finland, Helsinki. She is active in winter sports and likes to work with theatre. Barbro was honored by winning the title of Miss Congenial- ity in the 1979 Miss Hudson pageant. Participating in a beauty pageant was a new experience for Barb considering there were no teen pageants in Finland. She lives at home with her parents and one younger sister. She will return home for one more year of high school and then will go on to a university. She is living with the Stcnfors family while in the U.S. MAGGIE AGREDA Being a Rotary student has given me a broader view of how all Americans live. I have found that living with sev- eral families has been a great learning experience. Maggie is a Rotary stu- dent from Oruro, Bolivia. She has one older sister and one younger sister back in her home in Bolivia. Her first American family was the Bates and she is presently staying with the Richard- son family. A.F.S. 23
