Drury High Sehool has an international visitor among its stu- 'dent body. The Rotary Club of Milton is bosting Swantje Siepman, a high school student from Hanover, Germany.

Ms Siepman is participating in the academic and social aspects of the school in hopes of honing ber skilis for a career in the media. She said she's enjoying ber stay in Milton. According to Carolyn Keywortb, president of the Rotary Club in Milton, students are chosen initially by an application proceas. "A letter is sens out by the Rotary Club to tbe local achools. Interested students can tben aign up, and upon being selected as a candi- date, they must meet several requirements sucb as maturity and academic excellence."
