PAGE FRIDAY, OCTOBER HIGHLANDER 6 Swedish Dating PTA BOOMS Heading Customs PTA Marita Jonson, our foreign ex- change student from Sweden, spoke to the 4th period Home Living class October 13 about the family situation where she lives. She stated that American people are almost like those in Sweden. Our customs are quite similar, but in some instances they do differ. For instance, the dating in Sweden is quite spectacular compared to our present way. The boy doesn’t necessarily have to meet the girls’ parents; he can pick her up at her house or meet her where the date was scheduled. In this instance, the date would most likely be on a_ group basis where a group of girls would meet a group of boys at a scheduled place. Another custom that raised a few eyes is that the girl would pay her own way if the boy were going to school. The explanation for this is that he wouldn’t likely have any more money than the girl. Marita pointed out other similarities and differences in their way of life as compared with ours. The students enjoyed her talk tremendously.
