FRIE D HIP I THE BRIDGE ,,...,4o KARI BRI GS SWEDE TOU Karin Eriksson Box 354 Soderbarke, Dalarna, Sweden Ludvika 50092 Through the American Field Service, Rochester receives a view of the world. Organized in the forties for colleges, the service extended to the high schools in the fifties. Today, the Student Council sponsors an AFS committee which works with the adult committee of Rochester to raise funds necessary to bring foreign students here and send our students abroad. RHS welcomed its first AFS student in 1959. This year, a piece of Sweden became a part of Rochester. Karin Eriksson, of Dalarna, Sweden, arrived August 15 to spend a year with Cindy Sargent and her family. Karin was born November 22, 1946, in Ludvika, Dalarna. Her home town of 1500 inhabitants lies on a lake surrounded by hills and forests. She attended Fagersta gymnasium, which is like a junior college. Two years of gymnasium remain for her when she returns. Karin was introduced to the student body at a reception in her honor, and to the community as a member of the Home- coming court. At a November pep assembly the entire school celebrated Karin's eighteenth birthday. Coming to America, Karin found little change in the pace of life that she experienced at home. She continued her fav- orite sports of swimming, skating, and skiing, and enjoyed music and reading during her leisure time. A good student, Karin's schedule included American History, government, typing, Student Council, trigonometry, English, and speech. While living in Rochester, Karin presented many programs to acquaint our community with her native Sweden. Karin leaves June 25 to tour the United States. She departs from New York for home July 25. Many memories of her will remain with us. Her warm, out-going personality has brought Rochester a wonderful impression of her home country, and has created in us a friendship with Sweden that will endure. 22
