' k.(S f The high school was a popular spot this past school year for trav- elers from abroad. Students from Japan, West Germany, the Nether- lands and Holland spent the year as foreign exchange students. Each of these students spent a year or more in the Richmond school system for the experience of living in the Unit- ed States and to further their educa- tion. Noriko Kamoskito whose home- land is Japan, came to the U.S. to learn new ideas and receive a better understanding of foregein rela- tions. Noriko ' s dream is to return to her country and help foreign stu- dents settle in Japan. She would like to possibly open a tourist agen- cy. Sven Kottke came to the U.S. seeking the freedom of America. He found that and many other things. His favorite city was New York becuase of it ' s size and it ' s sense of business. Another large place he enjoyed was the Tiernan Center . He was intrigued by all of the sports offered in one build- ing. Life has been very different for Sven while he was away from home but he leaves the city of Rich- ond thanking the community for it ' s hospitality. Lotte Hold and Kurt Vanden- dungen came to RHS and immedi- ately became involved in extra-cur- ricular activities. Lotte got a taste of drama by acting in several plays. She saw action on the soccer field by playing for the Richmond Scoocer Club. Lotte could also be seen doing a mean jitter bug at many RHS dances. Kurt became an honorary mem- ber of the state runner-up basket- ball team. Kurt practiced and worked out with the team, but be- cause of his foreign citizenship and his age he was not eligiable to play in regular season games with the team. All four of these students learned many things at RHS, but RHS stu- dents in return learned a variety of things about the diversity of cul- tures. 26
