A bouquet of roses and a friendly sign help to create a warm wel- come for foreign student, Linda Robert. New Zealand... isn't that near Austria? No l think it's closer to Borneo. No, it's . . In past years, A.F.S. has brought awareness of other coun- tries to LT's students, but with this year's arrival of Linda Robert from New Zealand, the committee also brushed up the l.T'ers knowledge of geography. Linda, a native of Christchurch, New Zealand, came to stay with the Louders. Although we know little of New Zealand, Linda claims that she found Americans lived up to the New Zealander's opin- ion of their being friendly, open people. Coming from a small country lof Zh million l she found America big and advanced in many ways. She also discovered many differences between the two schoolswsuch as sports, pep assemblies, and not having to wear a uniform. Because she was from down under she noticed many dif- ferences in climate and enjoyed her first white Christmas and the opportunity to go to Florida at Easter. Through her active participation in GAA, Senior Leaders, AFS days and weekends, basketball and football games, and giving speeches to different groups, Linda became a proud part of LT. Everyone at L. 71 made me feel so much at home that I felt it was really 'my' school and enjoyed every moment of my whole wonderful yeah Although American history is somewhat foreign to Linda she becomes more familiar with it with the help ofhis sister Wendy.
