Foreign exchange student Giampi re- ceives the Key to the City from Miss Dorothy Thompson at an AFS meeting. Extra-Curricular Activities Different for Foreign Student Giovanni Piero Gallarate, Ameri- can Field Service student from Italy, has been quite impressed with Ho- bart and the American way of life. One of the many differences he discerned between American and Italian schools was the absence of almost all school activities in Italy except the newspaper. The Italian commented, “Here, students have much more opportunity to partici- pate in affairs of school with clubs and council meetings.” Giovanni, nicknamed Giampi, was active in skiing and track events in Italy. His main hobby was col- lecting and selling antiques. Since the AFS student arrived in America, he has become interested in photog- raphy and in collecting U.S. patches. Coming from a family of nine, Giampi is the oldest of seven chil- dren, four boys and three girls. His father supervises school construc- tion for the local government in Torino. Mrs. Gallarate owns her own shop and is a hair stylist. During his stay in the states, Giampi lived in the home of Mr. and Mrs. George Dettweiler. Their son Tom, a junior at Hobart, helped Giampi become adjusted to his new surroundings. Giampi will enter the University of Torino after his senior year at Hobart High School. He plans to study space aerodynamics. While in America, foreign exchange student Giovanni Gallarate stayed in the Thomas Dettweiler home. Standing with Giampi are members of the family Mr. and Mrs. Dett- weiler and son Tom, who is a junior at the high school. 27
