Dan Eurico adjusts to America; smaller towns, larger families Columbus High School has participated in the American Field Service Program for 12 years through the coordinated efforts of the high school guidance office, the local AFS organization, the Isabel Ritter Chapter; and the national AFS office in New York. Two foreign students are selected every year to stay in Columbus with host families. Dan Bergman, from Sweden, and Eurico Nogueira, from BrazU were the two selected for this program. Dan and Eurico went through a series of tests and personal inter- views to evaluate their personahties and awareness of current events. In addition, the host families were interviewed in an attempt to match the students with a similar home environment. Dan Bergman, who came from Stock- holm, Sweden, had some adjusting to do to fit into the pace of a smaller town. Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Head hosted Dan for the year while his host sister, senior Carol Head, introduced him to high school hfe. Eurico Nogueira, from Sao Jose Do Rio Preto, Brazil, stayed with Mr. and Mrs. R. K. Rawlins. Eurico, who had a small family back in Brazil, was welcomed by the seven member Rawlins clan. Both boys entered into high school life, adding their foreign accents to the general hub-bub in the halls, cramming for finals, trying new foods and making new friends.
