It is the responsibility of the committee to sponsor La Sierra s Foreign Exchange Student every year. In addition to this, each year, a student from La Sierra is chosen by a special selection committee to represent La Sierra in the American Abroad program. Last year's representative from La Sierra was Senior, Janis Zimdars. Janis went to Norway, where she gained many friends for Amer- ica, and demonstrated what a valuable asset the American Abroad program is. 128

I wtm Jacquie Corsin, our vivacious foreign exchange student, comes from Grenoble, France, in the French Alps near Switzerland. In France, she attended a public school which was not coeduca- tional and was instructed only by women teachers. Jacquie makes her new home with Joyce and Toby McClain. While in the United States she has learned to love ham- burgers, and her favorite Amer- ican sport is basketball. Shg adores doing the twist, and the American custom which she en- joys the most is dating, but she admits that there is one prob- lem—a girl has to wait for the boy to ask her out, and some- times he doesn't. Slang often confuses her because she was taught the “pure English of Ox- ford, which doesn't help much in America. Jacquie plans to further her education at the University of Grenoble, which was founded in 1330. She hopes to become an English teacher! When asked what she had gained by her stay in America, she instantly replied, “Pounds. Also the knowledge of the American people and the American way of life of which I had mistaken ideas. American people are especially nice people. I have learned that the Americans spend most of their time in driving cars or watching television. I have learned that the American people could not live without cokes and hamburgers. Jacquie wishes to thank La Sierra and all her new friends for the most won- derful year of her life. Jacquie
