She actually graduated in her hometown, Los Castores, Ven- ezuela, but she came here to learn about the language and the people. She lived with the Bald- win family during her stay. Betty used hot as her one word to describe Yuma. In her opinion, the boys are very friendly and helpful. Ulla Kivioja was our other foreign exchange student.
