This year eleven ex- change students visited Bonanza from many different countries. These students were: Gianmario Baldassari, Casper Christensen, Eloisa Felili, Maria Johnasson, An- na Knap, Maria Motta, Jose Perill, Louis Persson, Kai Samel, Harri Senkallio, and Thomas Voight. The exchange students agreed that the lifestyle of the American society is very dif- ferent than that of their homeland. The lifestyles may be different, but having the ex- change students at Bonanza livened up the halls and in- terested many students. Bengals showed interest in the exchange students and helped them in any way they could. As Casper Christensen stated, l'm really happy that everybody is so nice to me over here. The exchange students were very excited to be in America and fit right in with Bonanza's many school ac- tivities. G.V. 66 Exchange Students!Organizations 4 if-Jain?
