Throughout the year, America had a steady stream of visitors from countries around the world However, there was one in particular who visited San Gorgonio through AFS Her name was Catarina Coelho. Catarina was a foreign exchange student from Lisbon, Portugal. While Catarina visited California, she lived with her American ' fami ly, the Sherwoods. Their daughter Natasha also attended San Gorgonio. AFS or American Field Service, is an international intercultural ex- change system for students wishing to travel across the world, during the summer or during the school year, to meet new people and go to different schools in different countries Catarina did not have a choice of where in the United States she would be sent, however, she was sent to where she wanted to be — California I wanted to come here (California) because of all the wonderful stories I have heard. Of course the stories were of sun- shine, blue skies, blue oceans and snow capped mountains. Catarina visited many scenic places during her stay, among them were Disneyland, Magic Mountain. Lake Arrowhead, and Big Bear. She especially enjoyed Big Bear I ' ve never seen snow before. Catarina loved the beach and enjoyed aquatic sports such as water- skiing, sailing, and swimming. She also sketched, rollerskated and played tennis. Like any other American student Catarina enjoyed a variety of music, however, her favorite was Mew Wave. Her favorite groups were the Police. Genesis, Yes, and the Tubes. She even went to see a Van Halen concert Being in her senior year, her voyage to America was even more ex- citing. At San G.. Catarina was a very active student. She was a member of Student Council. German Club. Drama Club and AFS. As to the lifestyles of Americans and Portuguese she said, The girls paint ' their faces at a much earlier age. She also noted that the students here are much more dressy when they go to school. Catarina ' s favorite foods were, guess what? Doughnuts and pizza.

Western Civilization Clubs bring cultures to San G A class which was also a club was offered fifth period. Western Civilization, the class taught by Mrs. Ellison, studied the Western civilization cultures and customs of Europe, Ancient Greece and Egypt. At the start of the year, they began with a dinner at a Greek restaurant to get an idea of the Greek cultures they were to study. Every Monday night, they held seminars at different students ' homes. They reviewed in depth, subjects in class and gave reports. During Christmas vacation, an alumni seminar was held in which returning students attended. Anna Hinkle, a new member in the club, com- mented, It ' s a great learning experience, especially if you ' re interested in the different cultures and customs of the Western Civilization! Like Spanish, the French Club focused on those who were most interested in the many ways of life and customs of another country as well as the languages used. Students who were a part of the French club were usually just those who were taking French at that time. They helped decide what the club was going to be active in, on cam- pus, and off. To raise money they sold candy bars, and calendars. Further money making activities were those at the Homecoming car- nival, in which they rented a booth that had dip bowling as its game. Darrell Dorsey com- mented on the carnival booth and club meetings, The Homecoming carnival didn ' t bring us much profit. The meetings are very nice for the people that attend them. f Top: Western Civilization talks about ancient Greece ' s location and customs during fifth period Above: Mrs. Ellison, adviser of Western civilization wants you to join her club.
