NMHS FOREIGN EXCHANGE Marika Anderson, 17. was our visitor from Uppsala. Sweden. She stayed with Stout's. In Sweden students are re- quired to take English starting in the third grade. She thought that things at school in America were much more open. She had been used to being with the same stu- dents all day. They changed teachers and classes but the same students were always to- gether. When asked what she missed most about Sweden she said her family and friends. She enjoyed the junk food available to her in America, but she couldn't eat it all the time. Marika liked to draw, read and work with photography. She enjoyed visiting Turkey Run and the Shades State Park. She also went to Indianapolis during the Christmas season to see the lights and decorations. She said. I like America very much and plan on coming back again some day. West German foreign ex- change student, Diane Henseleit stayed with the Mathews family during the 1984-85 school year. When asked what she missed most about West Germany the seventeen year old replied. I guess it would be the North Sea near my home in Sylt. Diane was active in the Ger- man Club. She also enjoyed horseback riding, swimming and doing things with her friends. At home in Germany she played handball. Diane felt that the American students were much more ma- ture and the teachers were friendlier than those in Germany. She had not decided her future plans but said she would like to return to the U.S.A. someday. TC: Marika searches her locker for the right books.
