When an article is written for a yearbook one is usually reflecting on the culmination of activities and events. Such is not the case here. This is chapter one! Deirdre Upton did not arrive in Bloomfield until the beginning of the second semester. As a resident of the southern hemisphere country of South Africa, she arrived in Iowa in midwinter, having left her home in the middle of summer vacation. Fortunately, this was a very mild winter by local standards, but, for Dee, it was cold! Though she did bring warm clothing, she frequently breezed out the door in the morning with little more than a sweater on. She seemed not to remember about the climate! We often kidded her about this. Another source for teasing has been Dee's love of American food — particularly the junk. She quickly discovered doughnuts. Snickers, pizza, hamburgers, and Twinkies. She's talked about opening a McDonald's in her hometown! Her good nature makes it a delight to have her with us. We have been the host family for several other exchange students and have decided that Deirdre is the most foreign of them. She arrived knowing almost nothing about our country and its history and tradition. In just a few months she has begun to gain insight into some of these aspects of the American culture. Likewise, everyone who has gotten to know her has gained a new view of her country and the struggles which it faces in today's world. We are very happy that our lives have been touched by this special person. It is with gladness that we anticipate the months to come, when our friendship and understanding will grow. Truly, Deirdre has enriched our community. Mr. and Mrs. John D. Schroeder DEIRDRE UPTON I really enjoyed my staying in Bloom- field. Although it wasn't always that easy. Since I came from a larger city, I had a lot of adjust- ments to work on. But with the support of my family and friends it worked out fine. Joelle Camu 19
