Columbia Heights Students Welcome A S Student Mina Mortazavi From the Middle East Country - lran Finding English difficult is not very unusual, even for Heights students, as foreign exchange student Mina Mortazavi receives additional aid from Mrs. ldstrom. O This year, a record membership enabled AFS to expand its activities. For the first time, membership was open to everyone. Among the club's projects were a dance, a Mardi Gras sponsored jointly with other AFS clubs, and the annual talent show. The purpose of the talent show was to gain funds to bring a foreign exchange stu- dent to Columbia Heights. This year's stu- dent, Mina Mortcizavi of lran, spent her year in Pastor Merrill Gilbertson's home. Minds year was filled with activity. Be- sides mastering the English language, she sang in a church choir, sewed many clothes, learned to play the piano, cut hair, and, of course, made many friends. Mina was formally introduced to the stu- dent body at the talent show. When she ap- peared wearing the native costume of lran Mina was welcomed with a standing ova- tion from the Heights students. After the ap- plause quieted down, Mina proceeded to thank the students for the warm and friend- ly welcome she had received. r '-1
