H.S. Student Body lelcomes Exchange Student, Thomas Kiechle Our foreign exchange student this year was Thomas Otto Kiechle. He arrived here in August from Tett- nang, a town in Southwest Germany. Tettnang has a population of ap- proximately 15,000. Six hundred students attend the school in Tett- nang that Tom will be returning to next year to finish his education. There are thirteen required subjects Tom must take at Monfort Gymnasi- um, including three different lan- guages, World History, German gov- ernment, math, art, physics, chem- istry, music, and geography. For a pastime, Tom enjoys snow skiing, swimming, traveling, chess and play- ing soccer. Tom's host family was Mr. and Mrs. Jesse Jones and son Jimmy. He also spent time with an older broth- er and sister of the Jones family re- siding out of town. Tom participated in several school activities while at M.H.S. He was a member of chess club, French club, student council and was the manager of the boys' varsity basketball team. Tom was able to travel both in and out of state. Trips in Arizona includ- ed one to Kitt Peak, the Hopi and Navajo reservations, and a long hike through the Grand Canyon. He also went snow skiing at Sun Rise with his host brother. ln February, Tom, along with five other Morenci High School students, spent a week in El Cajon, California on a short term ex- change program through the Ameri- can Field Service. ln June, Tom will be going back to Germany. His first stop will be in New York, where all of the foreign exchange students will have a fare- well get-together before departing to their home countries.
