ZAR 9Je,e,?f10VbX '- he small town of Lillestron, Norway is a place John Neergaard calls home, but for nine months John will call Den- ham Springs, Louisiana home. He is one of five foreign exchange students at school. John read an ad in the newspaper ad- vertising for an exchange student. He an- swered it and he was chosen, He wrote letters to all of the host families, and Ed and Emily Dawsey chose him. Back home in Norway, John played bas- ketball for his school. Although the school does not have a football team, it does have soccer. John graduated last year after only nine years of school. J John says, The grades are harder to make here. lf a student makes all F's in Norway, he still passes on to the next grade. eing a foreign exchange student gives Chris Boer and Johnny van den Heuvel a chance to learn not only out America but also about each other's countries, Cypnlr ff, I... fgonqf- chool days to the average student seem pretty normal, but to a foreign exchange student from Geneva, Switzerland, school is totally different. The average length of school days in Geneva are decided each year. Last year they were nine hours long. A student went to school at 7.45 a.m. and usually didn't get home until 5:80 p.m. Lunch is the student's responsibility in Ge- neva. They are allowed to leave to get lunch between noon and 1 p.m. The classes are even different. ln Gene- va, students take 14 suljects per year, Each ,day they have a different class. Teachers go faster in suqects. Students in Geneva study advanced math for four years before they graduate.

Not only are the television channels differ- ent but so is the music. They CHollandersD have more music from Jamaica, said Johnny. Most of the music is sung in English, but some is sung in Dutch. Johnny's favorite musical groups are Van Halen and Ul34O. Discos are a popular night spot in Holland. We go to discos, you go to the movies, said Johnny when asked how dating was different. Johnny's school in Holland is also different. It is much larger and is two stories taller. There are no lockers though. We had to carry all our books, said Johnny. While Johnny is staying in the United States, he lives with Linda and Butch Cau- sey. S ecretary, Sarah Gully, is host mom to foreign ex- change student Kari Brondbo. They are very nice, said Kari about her host family.
