Margareta Ekstrom Everyone recognizes this blonde, blue- eyed Swedish girl as Margareta Ekstrom, one of our foreign exchange students at Lincoln. Maggie made her home with Mr. and Mrs. Harold Meyer of Olin and her American sister, Kandie. Besides keeping busy with her studies, Margareta participated in chorus, vol- leyball, and L-Club. She was made an honorary member of the National Honor Society with a 3.4 grade point average. All of Lincoln High will miss Margareta and wish her success in the future. Good luck, Maggie!
