X . genius' 9 K tu. Living through experiences that very few teen- agers even hope to have, Merete Dessen and Roger Lansdell, from Norway and England respectively, have crossed the Atlantic Ocean to attend Leu- zinger High School as our first exchange students. Merete and Roger arrived in New York aboard a German boat and flew to California the next day, where they were met by their foster parents. In England, Roger had attended an all-boy school. When he arrived at school at Leuzinger, his first problem was to become used to coed classes. Merete's first obstacle was that of English, her father was an English teacher in her local high school and with five years of English behind her, she quickly mastered the quirks in the English language. Finding activities at Leuzinger quite different from those in their homelands, Ro er and Merete participated in a host of school functions. In order to learn about American democracy in action, Merete and Roger were members of the House of Representatives, Senate, Student Court and a government class. Our Exchange Students Wanting to have exchange students as student body members of Leuzinger High School, mem- bers of Leuzinger supported the American Field Service fund last year by buying tickets during the A.F.S. membership drive, participating in Pep Week, and attending dances which were held to earn money for the exchange student program. In this way enough funds were raised to bring the first exchange students to Leuzinger during the 1956-1957 school year. At this same time, Merete Dessen and Roger Lansdell were busy filling out applications and all types of forms in order to quali y as exchange stu- dents to the United States. Early last year, they had been chosen by their respective schools in Norway and England as candidates for the A.F.S. program. They were interviewed by the equivalent of A.F.S. in their homelands, and their applications were sent to the United States for further exam- ination. While Merete and Roger waited patiently for the answer, the A.F.S. was selecting a home for them to stay in during their nine months at Leu- zinger. In mid june, they were told of their selec- tion as exchange students.
