Sixth AFS Student Brings a Touch of Denmark to FCHS The American Field Service Program gives students from other countries the opportunity to learn and understand how the people of the United States live. Our sixth AFS student, Steen Finsen came to Fairbury from Svendborg, Denmark. There he lived with his parents and two brothers, Lars and Tom. In Denmark, Steen attends Svendborg Statesgymnasium. Steen’s American home was with the George Fischer family. He found them very kind and understanding. Steen kept busy this past year by taking chemistry, American problems, advanced math, and English IV. He also participated in football and was the first AFS student to be awarded a letter. Other highlights of Steen’s stay included talks before various civic organizations, a two day field trip to the College of Engineering at the University of Illinois, and working part time at the Fairbury Blade. 8
