Unique Exchange Program Founded Here

exchange programs existent in this
country IS the one founded in
Farmyille with the opening OF

That's exactly what happened

Reciprocal Agreement
How did this reciprocal swap be-
gin? Well. 1t all started last year
when Donnie and Juan became
rather close friends, because Dick
and Donnie were already some
thing more than Just casu a y
acquaintances having gone TO
school together for three years
Impressed with the exchange pro-
gram idea, Donnie too set out to
broaden his international scope by
inviting Mexican here this fall.
However. the regular exchange
program doesn't locate in the same
spot each year. so private ar
rangement was necessary rs
