Forei n Students Mix Culture on Campus The lives of Bonita Vista students were enriched this year with the arrival of three foreign exchange students and two Vietnamese refugees. ln turn, B.V. students shared their ways of life with them. The memories and experiences these girls had will never be forgotten. Panamanian, Ingrid Aguilar's most unique and exciting experience here was T.P.ing a house with her friends. She also liked the desert, because it reminded her of her homeland. lngrid's outgoing personality attracted many friends at B.V. tCenter Left Pg. 24l. Maria Levia, from Columbia, enjoyed many things about the U.S. She enjoyed the Universal Studio's Tour in Los Angeles, and her favorite classes at Bonita were government and chemistry. Maria found our school system much more lenient than in Columbia. One thing she did not understand was the game of football, as soon as she began to catch on to the game the season endedl, tUpper Left Pg. 25l. 4 'Z A 'Q ' at A av y f f qv V It TE ft 4 ..,..,,,, There was also an exchange student from Japan. Chihiro Nakagawa. She found the students at B.V. friendly and the life style more casual here than in Japan. California's warm, crazy weather really surprised Chihiro and she sometimes missed the rain in Japan, lLower Right Pg. 24l. All three foreign students were members of the AFS and S club. They fit well into the life style of Bonita Vista. and even though not all of them understood the game of football, they unanimously agreed that number O0 was their favorite player! The two Vietnamese students, Tuyet lUpper Right Pg. 25l and Van tUpper Left Pg. 24l Nguyen came to the United States under completely different circumstances than those of the three exchange students. They came in flight. due to the outcome of the Viet Nam war. The sudden change made adjustment to the American life-style somewhat difficult for Van, who was in 11th and Tuyet, a 10th grader, and they often grew homesick for Saigon. Bonita Vista students were proud to have Van and Tuyet attend here, and sincerely hope that they are content in their new home-- the U.S.A. .,.. fl 'K
