Foreign Students Experience New Life In years past, it has been a tradi- tion for Mesa High to sponsor one American Field Service student for an entire year. ln keeping with that tradition, Mesa High was honored to have as an AFS student, Joe Kruger from South Africa. In addi- tion to Joe, Mark Eschweiler from Germany, and Anders .Iacobsson from Sweden, were also here on dif- ferent programs. .loe Kruger arrived on July 20, 1975. He hails from a little town about 70 miles out of Johannesburg, South Africa. He planned a career in law, and in order for him to fulfill the require- ments to be a lawyer, .Ioe would have to study law five years at a uni- versity. He completed six months before coming to America. Photography and reading were among .Ioe's hobbies. He also en- joyed playing racquetball, baseball . ,3 and chess. Joe hoped to accomplish many things during his stay. One of them was to get to know everyone possi- ble. He wanted a better perspective on the world and ofthe people in it. From Sweden, was Anders Ja- cobsson, sponsored by the Student International Service scholarships. Anders arrived on August 14, 1975, along with 200 other students to be placed in American schools through the SIS program. He was the only Swedish student to be placed in Arizona. He enjoyed Mesa High and was impressed by the school spirit. ln Sweden, schools are much more sub- tle, and such a ruckus over football games and class yells, were new ex- periences. Skiing, tennis, soccer and handball were his favorite sports. He also liked photography. In his hometown, Trelleborg, Anders wrote free lance for their newspaper, and was thinking seri- ously about a career injournalism. From Germany on the Youth For Understanding program, was Mark Eschweiler. Mark arrived here on August 18, 1975. Like Joe Kruger, Mark wanted to go into law, and if possible, study in the U.S. Mark enjoyed a game of chess, bowling, table tennis and an old German favorite, drinking beer. Our football games seemed odd to Mark. Soccer was to Germany what football was to America. Mark en- joyed soccer because it had more action. One thing all three of the foreign students agreed on was the student response. They felt welcome and very much at home at Mesa High. kill .N-wwcilf' Q'2'650t'n flj Anders Jacobsson, enjoying his govern- ment class.
