 Satisfying customers is part of the fob. says Polly Confidence Grows in Related Training Every school is established to give young people the chance to get an education, but Ionia High also gives seniors a chance to apply the knowledge they obtain to practical situations. By joining the related training program at school, seniors are placed in jobs, if they don’t already have one, and are given the opportunity to meet people and gain experience in various vocations. Besides gaining this valuable experience, they also earn money to use for college, or whatever they prefer. The man who is responsible for getting reports of the students’ progress from the employers, is Mr. Michael Brindle. Co-workers, Jean and Bruce pass the lime of day.

Scandinavia Sends Three Exchange Students Relaxing at home, Karen cuddles the kitten. Tom Burgstrom, a 16 year old from Koping, Sweden, spent this year with his American brothers, Steve White and Dennis Eagle. He joined the Key club and displayed an avid interest in golf. Tom is known at his home for playing his guitar. He is very fond of both folk and pop music. He also enjoys skiing. He remarked that school in America was easier than is Sweden. He also noted that Swedish teen-agers have more freedom than American teen-agers. Undecided on a career as yet, Tom plans to enter a college in Sweden after graduation from high school. From Berkerod, Denmark, came Karen Poulsen to live with Nancy Wilson’s family. Karen was a member of FNC club and participated in extracurricular activities. The first thing to strike her attention at Ionia High was the friendly relationships existing between the faculty and students. In Denmark, Karen enjoys skiing, cooking, badminton, and sewing. Upon graduation, Karen states that she would like to become a nurse. Tom's interests range from music to golf. Ulrika's glowing smile and peppy personality are well known to students at school. From Kalmar, Sweden, came Ulrika Linden who lived with the Kopchick family. Ulrika displayed an interest in everything and would like to wait a while before deciding on a career. In Kalmar, she is a member of the music, sailing, and tennis clubs. She also enjoys horseback riding and skiing. One difference between American and Swedish school systems is that in her school in Kalmar, free lunches at the taxpayers’ expense are served. Ulrika plans on attending college after graduating from high school. 9
