foreign Exchange Students: front Row: Moni¬ ca Maside, Maria Lusung. Back Row: Minna Niemi, Rappi Thornsteinsson, Tomas Waldemarsson. Swing!

I find the school system here in America is much easier than the one we have in horway, and also most par¬ ents think of kids of 17 or 18 as chil¬ dren, but in horway you ' re separate from your parents,” said Rappi Thor- steinsson. The students learned many cus¬ toms to take back home with them. They learned about the great junk food to eat, places to go, and just about every other custom we threw upon them. American food is deadly, said Minna niemi, who was used to fish and lighter foods of her native horway. There was some adjustment for the host families, too. Speaking more slowly and trying to coordinate the family ' s meetings, sports, and jobs with their activities was one of the ob¬ stacles to overcome.
