AFS'er From Brazil Enjoys School System Watching home movies taken since his arrival in the United States is Ioe DiCalvacanti, the Catalina foreign exchange student from Brazil, and his American family, the Bruce Dusen- .ware berrys. In back are Mr. Dusenberry, Bruce. Ianel, Mrs. Dusenberry, and in front Ann, loe and Ioan. lt's a big hole hard to believe, was all Ioe DiCalvacanti could say when he saw Grand Canyon. Ioe, our AFS student from Victoria, Brazil, finds strik- ing differences between Arizona and his home, where he professes the surf- ing and swimming are unparalleled. He claims the same for Brazil's dat- ing system. A date doesn't begin until midnight and generally ends at sun- rise. Niteclubing and drinking are privileges given to teenagers, but since both are accepted customs, neither is often overdone. Although he misses the ocean and Brazilian dates, loe has acquired many new interests since living with the Bruce Dusenberrys and going to Cata- lina. The Brazilian has high regard for the CHS students because they have made him feel at home. He likes our school system and especially the privilege to choose electives besides the few re- quired subjects. In Brazil all important subjects are required and thirteen courses a day must be carried along with Saturday morning classes. Ioe is in the process of mastering four languages and took his fifth one this year, French. Consequently, Ioe hopes to become an interpreter sometime in the future. --an ,ef .. . vmwsms .. , 'Wwe Ioe DiCa1vacanti, one of Catalina's AFS students, songleader Linda White while swimming at Sky- small for his favorite pastime, surfing, loe is doesn't seem to mind being dunked by CHS line.
