Education Reaches Out To Foreign Countries Douglas Walcorn dl Foreign Exchange Students Douglass High School welcomed a variety of exchange students this year. They came from France, Finland, Germany and Spain. Each one was unique in their own way and loved by all of us at Douglass. Though they missed their families and friends back home, they all treasured their visit to America. For every moment of homesickness they felt, there were two moments filled with the thrill of being in a new land. Everywhere they looked they found new ways of speaking, new ways of doing things, and new ways of having fun. Although they were overwhelmed at first by the novelty of it all, each one soon fit right in and became “just another face in the crowd.” But it wasn’t all fun and games, either. Due to circumstances in his homeland, Olaf Pfenning found it necessary to return to Germany at the end of the first semester. We were very sorry to see him leave. It wasn’t easy for the rest of the exchange students, either. They all experienced difficulties, too. Over all it was a good year for everyone involved to learn something new. Vincent studies the American sport of wrestling. Minna and Dana enthusiastically help stuff envelopes. Olaf seeks Mrs. Jennings’ help. Anxiously awaiting friends, Elena glances over her shoulder. 8 Work! Work! Always more work! Minna easily fits into the American way of life.
