Lars, the happy Dane, and Stan, the active American, leisure ly meander toward the bulging halls of WHS. STUDENTS INFORMATION This year the Apache tribe accepted some regular globe-trotters as blood brothers. Lars Hvitved, ex¬ change student from Denmark, and Adnan Mous- sallam from Jordan stuck a few feathers in their hair and smeared on a little warpaint—figurative¬ ly speaking—as they joined the Apaches in their daily activities. Lars lived with the John Walter family, and he thus became Stan Walter’s tempo¬ rary brother. Adnan lived with different members of Rotary, which sponsored him. The native Apaches also had a wandering brave, John Vice. Under the American Field Service program, John spent the summer between his junior and senior years in Finland. Adnan, Lars, and John spent much time lecturing about these countries to various clubs and classes. These cosmopolitan discourses succeeded in broadening the Apache horizon. John Vice, Wabash’s exchange student to Finland, slouches at attention outside the big, gray walls. 14
