Asked her reasonfo'r participation in the exchange, Robin answered, "I'went to Ravenswood to see whatit's like to be a minority."
Cubberley students were particularly impressed with thefriendliness of Ravenswood students. "The people have aclose environment and friendsare made easily," noted' GlennMelosh while Robin said simply,
