A.F.S. Since 1958, the American Field Service organization has served Eden and its students. With the help of funds raised by the annual A.F.S. Pizza Sale and other money-raising activities, one Eden student each year has been able to take part in the foreign exchange program. Through this program, the student has had the experience of actually living with a foreign family for one summer and sharing the family life of people in another country. Last year Douglas Price was able to spend his summer in Austria. A.F.S. has also brought at least one foreign exchange student to Eden each year. Through knowing and speaking to these students, the pupils at Eden have built a better understanding of foreign cultures and ideas. Also, by spending one full school year with an Eden family, these foreign students have come to know a small number of Americans in their everyday lives. This school year, we were privileged to have Maria Penedo, commonly known as Lolo to all, visit us from Brazil. Lolo was the daughter of Dr. and Mrs. Surgenor. Through participating in A.F.S., students are given the opportunity to learn more about world cultures and to further the efforts toward world peace.

Lolo in ihe U. 9. A. I came from Brasil, country of beauty and happiness. My city Vitorio, is an island and my house is situated on a beach where l swim all year, including the winter. Our climate is always warm anc full of gaiety and love. I had never seen snow before and when l first saw it I thought I was dreaming. I sat watching the flakez falling: some were big . . . some were small . . . but how much peace and beauty they brought to us . . . Skiing has been one more won- derful experience where I have enjoyed myself. I'm personally, as my friends know me, always happy and ready for fun. I like dances, sports, and having lots of friends. Ilm roman- tic too, and I like to listen to music, to play the piano and guitar to write or read poems and to appreciate wonderful and unex- pected nature. And I like to study, trying to learn a little bit, or if possible everything about everything. Because the more we learn, the more we discover new things to learn about. Life is full of interesting and wonderful things and I try to live intensely every minute of my life, apprehending the best I can, to search for my goal. Following my wish to learn always more, I came to this small and lovely town of Eden. Though our countries have much in common, I found some different customs, systems and ideas. But I did not have any trouble adapting myself to my new life. And this happened because of . . . the Surgenor family that gave me love and understanding, making me feel as if I was in my own home - . all teachers that helped me gave knowledge - . . all U16 boys HUF girls that have been very good friends. One thing that I appreciate in Eden is the love that everybody has for music. It is amazing how almost every single person playz a musical instrument. Singing and playing piano in Chorus, taking part in intramuralf after school, participating in many clubs and activities, including Student Council and Embers Staff, and principally, being a cheer- leader, I understood much better the American School system anc I had a wonderful time. All of you gave me the most exciting and interesting year. Sc I just say, with much love, Thank you very much! I'll never forget you! Lolo . . ...,. K K. k
