AFSers strengthen Old and New World Ties Language is no problem for Ripple ' s fourth for- eign exchange student, Ole Christensen, who speaks French, Swedish, German, Latin, and Italian as well as fluent English and his native Danish. A typical blue-eyed, brown-haired Scandinavian from Virum, Denmark, Ole readily adapted himself to the Amer- ican school system and social life. He participated actively in Student Council, Key Club, Thespians, Photo Stall, and Golden Singers and was a promis- ing member of the Tennis Squad. Ole lived with Dr. and Mrs. A. T. Stone. In exchange, AFSer Wally On visited Austria dur- ing the summer months. He stayed with the Pichler family on their 80-acre farm in southern Austria where he helped his family ' ' with work on the farm, swam in a nearby lake, and visited the people and cities of the country, particularly Vienna, before sailing home in August. Studying for finals, Ole Christensen takes advantage of the quiet of the Broad Ripple High School library. 1?
