Four students from Costa Rica visited Washington for four weeks, December 6 through January 3. The families wanting to sponsor a student filled out questionnaires. Then the families were picked. I think my family and I had a positive influence on our exchange student. I think she knows more about what the U.S.A. is like. I learned more about Costa Rica, also, commented Barbara Morton. Most students looked after their visitors both at home and at school. Luis Zeledon lived with Barbara Ewart. Alexander Salas was matched up with Barbara and Becky Morton, and Ezard Chaco'n was sponsored by Lisa Freden. I feel that the foreign exchange students made me understand the Spanish language more and the culture of Costa Rica, related Nicky Rich, who, with his sister Flory, hosted Jorge Cheverri. I enioy teaching at Washington. The atmosphere is very friendly, claimed Kara Hartson, new Spanish instructor. Before she came here she had lived and traveled in several Spanish- speaking countries. I feel I will have a lotto share with my students, Miss Hartson said. Besides being a fun and competitive sport, fencing improves your coordination and reac- tion time, Judy Lampi insisted. An experimental seventh period fencing class was offered during the second quarter. Miss Cathy Delessert instructed Canty Benton and Judy Lampi in the sport. lf it were offered as a regular course it would be with a small group of experi- enced students involved in it, Miss Delessert commented.

Each student in the quilting class designed and made a block forthe quilt. The quilt was sold andthe money went to the Home Ec department.
