Sweden and Holland Send Students to Chaparral Sweden is the best place in the world Cto mel but one thing is for sure, l'lI miss this marvelous schooland fantastic country very very much when l'm back there. Your school is stricter than mine, but you have a lot of fun at school. More fun than is a Swedish school with no clubs and no sports. Nils Bjorkman To me, this high school year was a totally new experi- ence. Lots of things, namely in our Dutch schools, are much different. Schools in Holland are purely for learning. The. 16 f special events WTR American schools pay much more attention to activities, and I think that's very goodg it gives the young people a wider education. All the teachers and pupils were very kind and helpful to me, and that is something I appreciate very, very much. Because we don't have things like that in Holland, the class ring and especially the Yearbook will be certainly the most beautiful souvenirs that I will take home. . Nick Burghgraef
