10 exc ituupe ctwte fruwt aCC over Atchison High has been lucky to be included in the foreign student exchange program. We received our first exchange student from Dussel- dorf, Germany in 1964. For the next nine or ten years, we had students from Norway, Thailand, Argentina, England, Italy, Australia, Spain, Leba- non, and Bolivia. We then didn't have another exchange student until ten years later in 1983. From 1983 to 1985, we had the chance to learn about life in Sweden from three girls who vis- ited from various parts of this coun- try. Once again we experienced a little life from down under” when Kim Stringer visited from Australia in 1986. Then this year we got the chance to learn about Brazil from Luiz Cardosa, who was this year’s ex- change student. As quoted by Tami Hord, Not only do I feel that this program gives us a chance to learn about various countries, it lets us make new and interesting friends; and who knows, if we stay in touch with these friends, maybe we could some day go and visit them in their countries.” So in many ways, we are lucky to be in- cluded in this program, and it is hoped that it will continue for a long time so other kids can experience our country as we can learn about theirs.
