Sphere of many AFS activities circles the globe Oriental charm found its way into the home o£ the Howard F. Gustafson family and into the lives of Ripplites when Masaru Hanano, Broad Ripple ' s sixth foreign exchange student, arrived in the United States via the American Field Service progxam. A native of Kobe, Japan, Ma-chan, as his friends call him, had to lace a new alphabet, a new school, and new people. But time soon dissolved his prob- lems, and Ma-chan ' s intelligence and keen sense of humor revealed themselves. Ma-chan, a boy who loves ice cream and ham- burgers and hates corn flakes, kept busy in Golden Singers, Junior Historical Society, and Key Club when he vas not studying. Another American Field Service participant, Feme Gurvitz, says that she hopes a future career in the foreign service will take her back to Fortaleza, Brazil, vhere she stayed last summer. The Southern hospitality of the Brazilians and the varmth of her hosts, the Bonaparte I inheiro Maias, helped her enjoy her visit. Between classes. Feme Gurvitz and Ma-chan stop at his locker, where Ma-chan picks up his Government book. Visions of Halloween spooks and goblins race through Ma- chan ' s mind as he helps carve a jack-o-lantern with his entire American family. 14
