Did you hear the latest about Su- sie and Jim? I ' ll tell you at lunch. These are just some of the many things we hear during our five min- utes passing periods.

Exchange students bring new outlooks This year we had three reminders of our American warmth and hospitality. They were our visiting foreign students Ulrika Fredler, Minna Torrpa and Ernie Hoffman, who all appreciated our com- munity. Ulrika, who stayed with Lynna Mattes and her family, was a very warm senior who fit in just fine with our American style and way of life. In fact, one of her favorite changes was our ability to make her feel welcome. In Sweden when you pass someone they just ignore you; here they smile and say hello. Most of us knew Ulrika as a part of our girls Varsity volleyball team. She en- joyed our school sports because in her own country there are none. She learned to play volleyball on the team at the YMCA in her hometown. Another of the foreign students was involved in our sports program. Ernie Hoffman participated on the tennis team and others. Apparently he is not considered great in his own country, West Germany, but around here he was exceptionally good. Ernie enjoyed our football games, which he never missed. He came to America with hopes of learn- ing better English, meeting a new culture and widening his outlook on life. Coming to this country made me see that we don ' t all live the same. Ernie stayed with the Barber family and probably will have plenty of good stories to tell his friends back in Han- over. Minna Torrpa knew nothing about In- diana before she came. Indiana is a lot different than Finland and in a good way. Minna says that she enjoys our weather and landscape. Your people are much friendlier and I like the way they talk a lot and ' hang out ' together. Minna did not expect a lot of what she found and says that she enjoys every- thing about our country. MINNA FOUND A FRIEND in Diane Dy- ben, your typical American teenager. SIGNING NEW FRIENDS ' yearbooks was a tradition that Ulrika says she liked to do. ERNIE FOUND THE time before school a great place to study and catch up on his work. 28 — Foreign Exchange Students
