OLGA Olga Stojiljkovic, of Belgrade, Yugoslavia, spent her senior year as a foreign exchange student at A-HHS. Mr. and Mrs. Ervin Kamin, Beth, Jake, and Susan became her American family. An only child, her father is editor of a public newspaper which deals with economic problems. He is also a professor of political science at the University of Yugoslavia. Olga’s opportunity to live in the United States came through YOUTH FOR UNDERSTANDING which has exchange student programs in Europe, Japan, South America, and the United States. The center of YFU is in Detroit, Michigan. The youth in the program choose the country they wish to visit and the YFU places them in the cities where families have applied for foreign students. Coming from a 6-day school week, Olga found A-HHS easier than her Belgrade school. The grading systems are similar in both schools. Olga said she liked the vocational aspect of AHHS. Pictured above is Olga and her American sister Beth. 6
