L. Unnbom, M. Schuchard, Exchange Students Lulu Unnbom Margret Schuchard, Dearborn High's German exchange student arrived in America last summer. She previously attended Wilhelm-Raabe-Schule, Dearborn's sister school in Lueneburg, Germany. The State Department sponsored her trip. Margret's activities at school have included Record Review, Student Council, and Driver Education. She is interested in literature, music, and many other hobbies. Margret lived with two families while attending Dearborn High. During the first semester she lived at the home of another student, Renie Levitte, and the second semester was spent in the home of Mr. and Mrs. Donald Kehl. Since her home in Germany is strategically located near the Iron Curtain, Margret has insight into the two kinds of government, democracy and dictatorship. On this subject she stated, I like being in the United States because I can study your Democratic theory, which is held as an ideal for the world. American Field Service sponsored Lulu Unnbom's trip to Dearborn from her home in Vaasa, Finland. At her school in Finland, Svenska Flicklyceet, Lulu enjoyed taking a variety of subjects such as English and several other languages, which have helped her in traveling. Lulu plays the piano and guitar, and has entertained at various meetings and school assemblies with her musical ability. Because of her interesting life in Finland, Lulu has also been guest speaker at the meetings of various organizations in the Detroit area. Student Council, Y-Teens, Choir and several other clubs constitute Lulu's extra-curricular activities. Lulu s American family, Mr. and Mrs. Esch, had previous experiences with exchange students, for their daughter, Doris, spent the sum- mer of 1954 in Europe under a similar program. When asked for an opinion of America, Lulu replied, I like the people best. I think you are so wonderful and so friendly.' Margret Schuchard 28
