Lisa Wing said, I've always wanted to have a pen pal from another country. I think that everyone who is writing to a pen pal will learn about some new ways and have a chance to make some new friends. Tom Hinrichs, composition teacher, got the names and addresses from a friend who teaches in England. He sent them a copy of our yearbook and some newspapers to let the pen pals know a little about Falls City and FCHS. Students enrolled in Spanish and German classes, taught by Wanda Biel, learned the languages and something about the culture. She said, In a foreign language, there are topics which can only be discussed or understood in a cultural context. There were also a few students that were foreign related or exchange students.
