Before taking his final step off the plane, Peter pauses to take a look at the land that will be his home and the people who will be his friends, Denfonifes Meet and Months of work preceded the arrival of Denton Senior High's first foreign exchange student. After the initial plans had been laid, students and citizens began the campaign for this student. But Denton High was lucky, for many were eager to have the opportunity to help make such a student a living part of the student body. School organizations, independent clubs, and individuals shared the work and expense. The David Thomases were chosen as the family sponsor for the student, his identity still unknown. Then the name of the student was announced: the boy who had been chosen was Peter Linardos from Greece, Months of anxiety passed, and August, the month for Peter's arrival, came. People from Denton greeted Peter upon his arrival at Love Field. Denton High students and Denton citizens have been richly rewarded as each of us has had the opportunity of meeting and knowing Peter Linardos, the first foreign exchange student at Denton Senior High School. Many Dentonites met our foreign exchange stu- dent at Love Field to wel- come him to an unforget- table year in Texas. 6

Welcome Foreign Exchange Student Attempting to find out more about his future year, Peter questions Bobby Giersch, Student Body President, about Denton High's teachers, classes, and outside activities. One of the many welcomers, joe Irick, shares a friendly hand- shake to show our foreign exchange student that he already has American friends. A welcomed stop was made on the way home when Dentonites and Peter stopped at the Ramada Inn for breakfast. Here Peter has a chance to share Ameri- , can conversation and pancakes with his sponsor, Dr. David Thomas.
