CLOSE P OF . . . Mohammed Mohammed Baoueb is visiting America with the AFS program and is staying with the Kenneth Boak family. Mohammed, from Tunisia, likes America because friend- ship is most important to Americans. He also thinks America is a very beautiful country and Lititz is a healthy town. Hamburgers, beef hot dogs, and cookies are among some of his favorite American foods. Mohammed com- mented that in Tunisia one must be twenty years old to drive. Being 19, he is waiting patiently to be able to drive because the AFS program will not allow him to do so, although he is of proper age. Volleyball and track are just two of the many sports in which Mohammed participates. In America, the students are fortunate that they must only attend five days of school a week. Mohammed, who graduated from his old school last year, had to attend school six days a week. I want to say that being in Warwick High School is a great thing for students who are there for knowledge. I'm happy to be with American students, and I'm glad to meet everyday a new friend, staff, or pupil. - Mo- hammed . . Bjom Bjorn Telenius, visiting Warwick from Finland, is part of the YFU program. He is staying with the Ronald Calhoun family. Bjorn enjoys all American food but lists stromboli as his favorite. He likes that Warwick students are able to choose which classes they want to take. In Finland, the students' classes are all required. He, however, does not espe- cially enjoy study halls at Warwick. During his study halls in his hometown he is able to go home. Bjorn was ex- pecting America to be much bigger. When he arrived, he was surprised to find that it is similar to Finland, Bjorn is involved in the Warwick Soccer Team. I would like to thank Warwick stu- dents and teachers for being very friendly and helpful to me. l have learned a lot of different things at War- wick and I am glad that l was placed in this school district. It has been reward- ing and l'm sure the rest of my year will be as rewarding. - Bjorn CWC QM Auf' 'Wnapaw 'Y' 51? oa- it

FOCUS O . . . Ulrike Ulrike Schmidt, known to everyone as Ricky, is a YFU student from West Germany. Ricky is staying with the War- ren Weiss family in Lititz. When Ricky arrived she was surprised to see how friendly and open people are toward each other. She likes the idea that sixteen year olds are able to drive in America. German teenagers must be eighteen to obtain a license. The YFU program fYouth for Understand- ingl does not allow the foreign exchange students to drive during their stay. School districts do not exist in Ricky's homeland. The students are given the choice of which school they prefer to attend. A typical school week includes six days of school attendance. The second Saturday of every month is a vacation day for the students. Ricky is involved with the Glee Club, concert band, and orchestra. Her favor- ite foods are all the very fresh salads and fruits. 'iWith this short note I want to say hello and thank you to everybody in the Warwick High School. My stay for one year was a unique experience and was a postive and absolutely great one because of all the friendly, nice girls and boys and teachers here in school. My new friends helped me in all Hstrangef' situations, and I'm very sure that I will never forget you, the teachers, and our very funny senior year. - Ricky . . . Yvonne Yvonne Kruiswijk, an EFFS fEducational Foun- dation for Foreign Studyi student from I-Iolland, is staying with the Sheldon Murr family. Yvonne com- ments that the biggest differences between Holland and the United States are language and environ- ment. The houses in America seem to be bigger and the Lititz community is cleaner and newer. Yvonne likes the after school activities but does not enjoy following the same schedule every day. Home- work, especially English, presents Yvonne with the most trouble. Some of her favorite American foods include pizza and hamburgers. Yvonne's favorite activities include tennis, reading, and needlework. One year of high school in the United States, it sounded great. When the time got closer I wasnft sure anymore about myself. I didn't know what to expect of Lititz, school, and the people. But now I'm here and itfs great. Everybody is so nice to me. The first time is sometimes hard, but I'm sure when it's June I will feel sorry to leave. I want to say hi to everybody who were fand arel my friends. I will always remember you, War- wick, and good, old Lititz. If you are ever in the neighborhood be sure to visit mef' - Yvonne vv Wu.. 'M

ZOOMI ..Jun Jun Sato of Japan is living with the Craig Hess family. Jun, who is here with the YFU program, was surprised at the large size of America. He likes that our school system is not so strict and a weekly attendance only consists of five days. In Japan the students attend school six days a week. Jun enjoys playing soccer on the Warwick soccer team and dur- ing clubs. He has the most trouble with people who speak too fast. He, however, has no problem enjoying American food, In a word I am very happy to meet the Warwick students. They are very kind and friendly. I want to have a memory of this year in my life. - Jun.
