Exchange Students Add Global Flair To BHS iH Nv iv i Valerie Mermund Veronica Valasquez Row i; Alfonso Mercado Gaiza (Mexico), Valerie Mermoud (Switzerland), Ve rnnica Valasquez (Chile). Row 2: Miriam Schiltmans (Netherlands). |EH|] dding color and contrast to ■is BHS during the school IbbbU year were four exchange students from various parts of the world. Valerie Mermound came from Geneva, the French part of Swit- zerland. She enjoyed her one-year study in the U.S. and felt that American people showed a lot of hospitality. She became involved in the school by taking part in the chorus. Representing the Netherlands was Miriam Schiltmans, who came from the city of Maastricht. Miriam liked living out in the country for a year instead of the busy city which she calls home. Chilean Veronica Velasquez came from Puerto Natales, South of Chile. In her country, Veronica said, school students must take 13 subjects; however, she enjoyed the more relaxed atmosphere of our school and found the U.S. radio stations fun to listen to. Our fourth exchange student, Alfonso Mercado Gaiza, came to us from Mexico. He participated in extra curricular activities by playing as a wing on the soccer team. Miriam Schiltmans Alfonso M.
