A. F. S. Student Richard Furrer Richard Furrer, this year’s A.F.S. student, came to us from Winterthur, Switzerland, in August and before he left us a year later he had made a lasting impression on everyone at Paxton High. We will all remember his pleasant personality, his intellect, his ability to communicate with us—Richard was an able ambassador of his country. In his senior year, Richard took English IV, Speech I, trigonometry, chemistry, and American history. When he returns home, he plans to attend the university at Zurich, Switzerland. From everyone at Paxton High—good luck, Richard! 18
