EXCHANGE STUDENT sn Jeannine Madeleine Wanner is from Beggingen, Switzerland. She is living with our very own quid- ance counselor, Miss Thorton. Her family in Switzerland consists of father Hansuli, mother Margrit, grandmother Trudi, and grandfather Hans. Her parents own an electrical business and her grandparents own a farm. Beqgingen, her village, is a small one of ap- proximately 460 inhabitants. Like most villages in Switzerland, Beqgingen is located in the valley of a mountain. Because Beggingen is so small, Jeannine must catch a bus to the city in order to go to school. Her school ‘‘Kantonsschule Schaff hausen,”’ has about 1200 students. When asked about the differences between our school and hers, she said, ‘The work here easier, but the discipline is much more strict.’’ After returning to Switzerland, she must go to high school for two additional years. Unlike the students here, Jeannine can speak four different languages — Swiss German, French, Italian, and English. She is presently taking Spanish while attending our school. She has adapted very well to our ways. She is a varsity cheerleader for the football and basketball teams. She attends the Roberta United Methodist Church. Her hobbies include hiking, skiing, and skating. In Switzerland, she liked to go to the cafes. The most popular cafe for teens is the ‘‘Fronwagplatz”’. Although the size differs greatly, the cafe can be compared to our mall in the respect as a hang-out spot for teens. She does not watch much tele- vision but enjoys movies. We were enriched by her visit and we wish her well in her future endeavors. We will miss her dearly.
