Hannes belongs to the Leaders Hi-Y, a large Y club made up of boys from Burbank, and Burroughs. He likes to go water skiing and enjoys parties. Georgann Zahn was the first foreign exchange student from Burroughs to go abroad. Pictured below is Georgann at a party for the exchange students from America and Canada. During the first part of the school year the students of Burroughs had the good fortune to make the acquaintance of Betta Tacchini of Ancona, Italy. During her stay she par- ticipated in a variety of activities. She was a member of a senior Y club and took part in GAA activities. The picture above of Betta and Mr. Weybright is the same one that was printed in her home town newspaper. Our Foreign Exchange student this year is Hannes Friedrich. He attended school at Felix-Klein-Gymnasium in Gothingen, Ger- many. He speaks German, English, French, and Latin. Hannes has several hobbies, but he likes fencing. track, and takes an active interest in the Boy Scouts. After his arrival in Burbank he received the customary short hair cut and he now looks like the average American boy. lhe object of the American Field Service is the exchange ot superior students of American schools with superior students in schools of thirty nations of Europe and Asia. At the present time, there are 1,000 foreign exchange students in America, and there are 700 American students abroad.
