[ PASSENGERS to and from other lands i Hailing from West Germany. Volker Vollradt was one of our foreign exchange riders Coming from a town of about 60,000, he liked Hoopeston because it was smaller. Volker attended a similar type high school in West Germany; however, he got out of school everyday at 1:00. In West Germany high schools are thirteen year institutions so when he goes back to his country, he will have two years of high school left, and then he will have to serve eighteen months in the military. Volker decided to become a foreign exchange student to learn a new language, to get to know another country, to meet new friends, to get out of the daily life in his hometown, to see something else, and to have fun! His most embarrassing moment in this country happened the day of the Foreign Exchange Christmas party A girl, who was from Bolivia, was attending school with him They were busy talking with each other and they walked into the boy’s locker room together. He said, “I noticed where we were when a guy behind me said ‘Wow! I like that!!!’ Luckily, everybody was already dressed.” Volker said he’d miss a lot of things about Hoopeston and America. He stated, “I’ll never forget the ballgames with the band, the cheerleaders, the national anthem, the sports (especially basketball games), and the junk food. Yes, you really can get used to ham- burgers.” Volker’s home address is: Frankfurter Str. 12, D-4750 Unna, West Germany. Valeria Sottili is from Torino (Turin), Italy. She is the middle sister in a family of three girls. Her parents are educators with her father being a professor and her mother a teacher of German. Valeria went to a five year high school in Italy called “Scientific High School,” where she was prepared for college. One difference there was that if students failed a class, they would have to take an examination in that subject in September and if students failed the examination, they would have to take the entire year over again She decided to become a foreign exchange student because “it is a way to get a lot of experience. I love to travel and meet new people She feels that different countries will never forget the prejudices about each other as long as their people don’t know each other She feels Americans are less formal than Italians. She says, “There is more a feeling of ‘everybody is my friend,’ even with strangers.” Valeria’s home address is: Corso Casale 291, 10132 Torino, Italy. NEXT YEAR’S FOREIGN EXCHANGE STUDENTS WITH Volker AND Valeria: Row 1 (I to r) — Denise Trimmell; LeAnn Davis; Steve Highfill; Volker Vollradt; Valer- ia Sottili; Andy Sinn.
