J EFF SWANSON jeff Swanson calls it the greatest ex- perience of my life, his summer as an A. F. S. student in Hong fpronounced like hook while burpingj, Denmark. There, home was a rural area, and father occupation was a poultry butcher. Jeff's experiences range from practicing the family trade to going to the stock car races to visiting Han-ilet's castle. Although his Danish vocabulary was limited to a few key phrases like I'm hungry on his arrival, he learned quickly. And there was no language barrier in the most important part of his trip--meeting people. As jeff said, The more people I met the more I came to understand that they weren't Danes. . . nor was I an American, but rather we were all just people. KEIJI FUJITA Everything is strange, was Keiji Fugita's first impression of America. As our inde- pendent foreign exchange from Tokyo, japan, Keiji found that Monona Grove stu- dents enjoyed much more freedom than those at home. In Tokyo, classes have as many as 60 students, all courses are re- quiredg everyone wears uniforms. Keiji also had some trouble with the food when he first arrived, but soon learned to like it so well that he gained 10 pounds. This extra weight was important for his wrestling. Here, he impressed a quantity of freshmen fand a few seniorsj by promising to demonstrate judo. Keiji likes America. As he put it, I love Madison, I love MG High, and am happy to live in such a beautiful place, and to study in such a great school.

AMERICAN FIELD SERVICE Luciano and jim 86 ANNA RIVERA The pretty, smiling girl with '5 the well-thumbed Spanish- English dictionary is Ana Rivera, Monona-Grove's AFS student from Guatemala. Having only one year of English, Ana had problems with our language at first but learned quickly. She hopes to become an English- Spanish secretary in Guatemala and eventually a teacher. Her year in America will be a big help. Life is busier and noisier than at the Instituto de la Ascunion, the private girls' school Ana at- tended in Guatemala. There Were uniforms, and more subjects and less homework per subject. There were Christmas fiestas of turkey and tamales. But this year, Ana's home was Monona- Grove. We hope she liked it. LUCIANO SPANGHER Luciano Spangher, foreign exchange student from Gorizia, Italy has proved to be a most exhilarating addition to the M. G. student body. Indeed, Luciano is a very well-rounded indi- vidual, he speaks English intelligibly and understands Spanish, French, and German. He is an avid cyclist, a prize-winning broad jumper, and a supporter of slow dances. Luciano says that Italian education is more formal and more specialized than that in America. Since he is studying to become an engineer he is presently taking advanced math, shop, and mechanical drawing. During his stay in America, he would like to visit as many other states as possible. If we Americans oould spread as much charm, warmth, and good will as has our Italian AFS'er, indeed this country would be wonderful.
