Friendship Is the Bridge to Understanding Gijs Vreugdenhil lives in Utrecht, Netherlands. There he lives with his mother, a younger brother, and a sister. Utrecht is the center of highways and railroads. Besides trains, many of the people use bicycles for transportation because gas is so expensive. The Netherlands is mostly farm lands just like Hemlock, but their farms are much smaller. School in Hemlock is much easier than in the Netherlands. Gijs's hobbies are collecting stamps and photography. He is very interested in biology, bird-watching, and plant and animal life. Because of these, he likes to travel. Gijs lives with the Johnson family. He says, they give me a lot of fun. He really appreciates the opportunity and experiences at Hemlock High School. GIJS VREUGDENHIL Maria DeKerf is our only girl exchange student this year. She lives in Antwerp, Belgium with her mom, aunt, uncle, and cousin. Antwerp is a large and important city and harbor. Although Bel- gium is very small there are some very beautiful places to visit. Schools are much easier in Hemlock than they are in Belgium. Teachers and students have a close relationship here, states Maria. Maria loves living with the Wallace family and her wish is going to come true. They are planning on going to Niagara Falls in June. Maria's hobbies are reading, traveling, studying, languages, having fun, and eating. MARIA DeKERF Juha Tarkka lives in Helsinki, Finland. He lives with his mother and father and his two sisters, Ina 17, and Mia 14. His father works with a real estate firm. Finland is about the size of California and has 4 million people. The climate and vegitation is much like that of Michigan's upper peninsula. Schools in Finland are much harder. Students have to take three foreign languages and advanced mathematics. Juha finds the relation- ship between teacher and student very rewarding. Juha lives with the Oszust family. His hobbies are reading, playing guitar and chess. JUHA TARKKA
