German Exchange Students For the first time, S.H.S. had exchange students. The three students: who were carefully chosen from many applicants, came from Germany in Iuly. They entered S.H.S. as seniors this fall. We felt very privileged to have these students, who were sponsored by the Rotary Club, and feel that just as they benefited from us, we have benefited from them. Irmgard Helga Schluter, an attractive and tall, slender brownette, was born seventeen years ago in Berlin. She now lives at Scharnherst Street 14, Dusseldorf, Germany: while in America she resided at the Ronald Kirby home. She found her most favorite American foods to be potato chips and popcorn and says that the people in Sturgis rate first with her because they're so friendly. lrmgard was in the Senior Play Cast, a member of the Dramatics Club, and a member of G.A.A. Her hobbies are reading and sports. Iurgen Christoph Frolich, a tall, studious boy of seventeen, was born in Rudolstadt! Thur and now lives at Osterode Harz, Ger- many. Iurgen said that the thing he liked most about America was his foster parents, the Kenneth Bisel family. Next on his Favorites list comes American food and he gives the follow- ing as an ideal American meal: T-Bone steak, French-fried onion rings, milk shake, and cherry pie. Iurgen had a part in the Senior Play, Went out for track, and belonged to the Youth Symphony of Ann Arbor, where he played a violin. His hob- bies are music and swimming. Dietrich Meissner, a tall, seventeen-year-old, who was born in Maurnburg!Saale, lived with the Leland Brubakers. His home in Germany is Luebbecke!Westfalen 18 Bismark Street. Didi's favorite foods are T-Bone steaks, French fries, and hamburgers with everything. The things he liked most about America were his foster parents and the students of S.H.S. Didi was in the Senior Play Cast, a member of Iunior Achievement, Went out for football, Wrestling, and track, and states his hobby as having fun. The three will return to Germany this summer: We will all be sorry to see them leave. 25
