GIORGIO STEFANINI American Field Service Much in evidence this year in math and physics classes is Giorgio Stefanini, our exchange student from Massa, near the sea on the northwest coast of Italy. Giorgio is 18 and an only child. His father represents a flour mill at Massa. He tirst became interested in com- ing to America when hisfEnglish teacher read a letter from the United States explaining the ex- change program. While here he has been impressed by the fact that though America may have economic gradations, she has vir- tually no social classesg and he calls attention to the opportunities for the individual to do and experi- ence what he likes. Giorgio hopes to become an electronics engineer. Giorgio with hosts Nanah and Bayard Williams, daughter and son of Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd B. Williams.
