He soid thot, VolIey hos much more enthusiosm ond spirit thon my home high school. It olso hos mony more Iote octivities ond non-ocodemic closses offered. Tom decided to become on exchonge student becouse it wos o chollenge ond on odventure ond would get him out of his doily routine. After high school, Tom will serve two yeors of sociol service ond then ottend o universi- ty to study history, politicol science, ond ort. ERIC LUNDSTROM wos on exchonge student from Stockholm, Sweden. Eric soid thot, My closses in Sweden ore horder thon the closses I hove ot Volley. I hove 13 closses in Sweden. Eric does not think he will become on exchonge student ogoin becouse every yeor he is here, he folls behind in Swedish schools. He does, however, strongly recommend being on exchonge student: lt's o greot experience! CLAUDIA KARSTENS is from West Germony, ond she stoyed with Tonyo Lee Moron while she offended Volley. Some of the things thot Cloudio become fond of while she wos in Los Vegos were the strip, the weother, ond Stocy Grittini. Cloudio experienced neither Holloween nor Thonksgiving before in West Ger- mony. She would like to be on exchonge student in Poris in order to leorn to speok French fluently. MINNA BLOMSTER wos on exchonge student from Finlond. Minno plons to go on to college in Finlond to study low. She felt thot leorning more English, going to footboll gomes, donces, Disneylond, ond drive-in movie theoters were some of the most rewording ond memoroble experiences thot she hod during her stoy in Americo. Some of her fovorite things in Los Vegos were the worm climote, the lights of the strip, ond MTV. When Minno wos osked obout the Americon foods she hod grown to like, she replied. I3osicoIly oll the Americon food is delicious, it's just fottening. Minno Blonster, Tom Mueller, Cloudio Korstens, ond Eric Lundstrom. Honors 77
