FOREIGN EXCHANGE I ' [Mr. I.eflammp has a grin on his face as he introduces himself to Toshiyuki Morhizuki lat the First Annual Kaculty-Kxchange Student ISocial which was held in the library. Bridgette Smith and Valerie Van Der Straten are off to their next class. It did not take Valerie long to learn her way around Fermi. A Different View Once lgain Enrico Fermi played host to exchange students from all comers of the globe. Each brought with them a life of experiences in another culture. Hopefully each will return en- riched by their stay in Enfield. From Japan came Toshiyuki Mochizuki. Changing classes each day was a unique thing for him. In Japan, the teachers get the exercise while students remain in one class. Cafeterias and lockers were also new items. His opinion of the United States, ... I like the American girls and the American parties.” From Belgium, Valerie Van Der Straten arrived. Valerie says that she is having a lot of fun in America. She has made many friends and loves to go to parties. Valerie says that America is similar to Belgium, except many more teenagers in America work. But Valerie has taken on the American custom of shopping and feels money is an absolute necessity. Visiting the United States from Finland is Tuula Kesti. She feels that one of the main differences between America and Finland is the fact “American girls are always, always, always, talking!” “Not only that, but Americans in gen- eral are always talking.” Tuula also mentioned that she has spent more money in America for entertainment and clothes than she has any- where else. Other foreign exchange students include Burkhard Meyerhoff from Germany, Maryn Floris from Holland, and Junko Habuto from Japan. Isabella M. Basile Bonnie R. Bastille Lara Becker Mark Badeau Linda L.
