Santa Lucia Day With the help of about 25 students, Ingrid Olsson was able to teach us something about Sweden through a program she put on at the Christmas assembly. The students memorized some songs in Swedish including Santa Lucia, and went through the traditional routine which the young people do each year in Sweden. Santa Lucia Day is a day the Swedish people celebrate to honor Saint Lucia. It was interesting and a lot of fun for both those participating and those watching. 9

Ingrid Olsson Exchange Student 1966-1967 Ingrid thinks the U.S.A, is wonderful, and we at Tekonsha, Michigan think she is wonderful. Ingrid came to the U.S.A., leaving behind her, her native town of Omnarp, near Malmo, Sweden, where she lives with her parents, one older brother and one younger brother, to live with the Russell Thomas family here in Tekonsha, for one year. While staying here she missed her family at home, but in the meantime made a whole new family and possibly millions of life long friends over here. Everyone in Tekonsha, and especially at school found Ingrid to be just about the most exciting exchange student ever known. She became one of us right from the start, and no one found it hard to become acquainted with her. She not only was very active in church and community activities, but also in all school activities, including Junior Varsity Basketball Cheerleading. Ingrid has completed her education at Samrealsko-lan i Anderslov, and on returning home she plans to attend college, with high hopes of someday becoming a doctor. I'm sure Ingrid will remain in the hearts of all of us for a long time, because we have truly enjoyed having her with us this past year. 8
