Alien Invaders Three unusual aliens graced the halls. The aliens, really not so unusual, were foreign exchange students who attended classes along with the senior class. Viktoria Bystrom and Eva Jo- hannson came from Sweden, and Monica Yavarone came from Spain. While in the United States, Viktoria liv- ed with the David Strattons, Eva with the Billy Ransdells. and Monica with the Frank Goodletts. The schools in Sweden and Spain differ from those in Kentucky. In Swe- den, students call their teachers by their first names, not by Mr. or Mrs. Stu- dents have eight classes each lasting forty minutes. They also do not pay for their lunches. The taxes pay for them. In Spain, students go from nine A.M. to six P.M. They have nine clas- ses and stay in the same classroom while the teachers change classes. Each of the foreign exchange students was very cooperative in an- swering any questions. When asked how they liked living in the United States, the general concensus among the three was I love it! Viktoria Bystrom really gets involved, like par- ticipating In homecoming dress-up days. •r. Thls refreshing site is at the home of Monica Yavarone in Spain. 28 Foreign Students
