Oizacena Coffee Joao I am from the city of Dracena, Brazil, with a population of 40,000 and like Salinas it is an agricultural city. The main product of my city is coffee. I feel very privileged to be an AFS student represent- ing my country, and I consider myself very fortunate to be living in California and attending Alisal High School. I am from a family of six people, my father is the principal of an Elementary and June ior High School, and my mother is a first grade teacher. I have one brother Paul, who is 16 years old and two sisters, lara, 12 years old, and Moena, 9 years old. My host Family, the Escobar's, are making my stay here a most exciting one. I have enjoyed meeting all of you and I hope you will have the same opportunity to travel to Brazil so I may return the hospitality that you have shown me.

Vlstnup . . Royal Copenhagen China . . Doul I live in the northern part of Denmark, called Vendsyssel, in a small village, Vistrup, with 400 inhabitants. Vidstrup is situated 4 miles from the west coast of Denmark and also four miles from a larger city, Hjdrring. Nly father, Aage, has a farm, which is very small i25- 3O acresl compared to farms in California, but big enough to make a living. Nly mother, Ingrid, is a housewife. Nly sister, Agnete, is 29 years old and works in the firm F. L.Smidt in Copenhagen. In 1971 she was married to Lars Brink, who is studying Danish at the Uni- versity of Copenhagen, and they now live in one of the suburbs of Copenhagen, Virum. IVIy brother, Gunnar, is 24 years old and is studying librarianship in Copenhagen. He lives in another suburb, Vaeldse, in Denmark. I'm attending a three year grammar school called gymnasium lit has nothing to do with an American gym- nasiuml. I finished my first year before I came to the USA, and I will continue my second and third year when I return. It's quite similar to Alisal High School except for the size lthe gymnasium has about 600 pupilsl and the ability to choose your own subjects. l'm enjoying my stay here in Salinas very much. I enjoy living with my host family in Prunedale and attending Alisal High School. It's a tremendous experience for me to go to this school, to get to know all the different people around the campus, and also to take whatever subjects I like. Jeg bor i den nordlige del af Danmark, kaldet Vendsyssel, i en lille Iandsby, Vidstrup Iigger ca. 6 km fra Vestkysten og ogsaa ca. 6 km fra provinsbyen Hjorring. lVIin far, Aage, har en gaard, som er meget lille lca. 21 tender landj sammenlignet med farms i Californien, men stor nok til at tjene til Iivets ophold. lVIin mor, Ingrid, er hjemmegaaende husmor. Nlin sbster, Agnete, er 29 aar og arbejder i firmaet F. L. Smidt i Kobenhavn. Hun blev i 1971 gift med Lars Brink, som studerer dansk paa Kelbenhavns Universitet, og de bor nu i en af Kobenhavns forstaeder, Virum. IVIin broder, Gunnar,er 25 aar og Iaeser til bibliotekar i Kobenhavn. Han bor i en anden forstad, Vaerlose. I Danmark gaar jeg i en 3-aarig skole, kaldet gym- nasium ldet har ingenting at gore med et amerikansk gymnasium l. Jeg afsluttede l.g, inden jeg rejste til USA, og jeg vil fortsaette i 2. og 3.g, naar jeg kommer tilbage. Det Iigner Alisal High School en hel del med undtagelse af stbrrelsen lgymnasiet har omkring 600 eleverl og muligheden for at vaelge sine fag selv. Jeg nyder mit ophold her i Salinas Saerdeles meget. Jeg er meget glad for at bo hos min vaertsfamile i Prunedale og for at gaa paa Alisal High School. Det er en vaeldig oplevelse for mig at gaa paa denne skole, at komme til at kende de forskellige mennesker paa den og vaere i stand til at tage fag, jeg bryder mig om.

48 On September seventh, spirited Alisalians participated wildly in our annual Jamboree at the Salinas High Stadium. The excitement of winning the rooters' trophy for the seventh consecutive year was a fantastic sight of screaming and hysterically happy people. Varsity captains, Leon Scott and Bill Dew, proudly received the coveted victor's trophy again for the third time before Alisal's cheering crowds. The first masterpiece, Alisal Says HelIo, was rolled out at the beginning, followed by a giant record, We've Only Just Begun and a final roll-out, l Gotcha! Tired but happy, the Trojans left the stadium with a memory of another Jamboree victory. w. .XT ' ,,.t ti' is ri i NE We ,. it Y , tit - :wi iikfgc f :sf Dance to the music.
