She speaks fluent, unbroken English. Her knowledge and use of American idioms is astonishing. In India, Chandra lives with her grandparents in New Delhi. Chandra’s family resides on the Eastern coast, but she attended a modern, selective high school in the capital. Her father is an engineer in the telegraph department and her mother is a homemaker and an active clubwoman. Although her brother is only nineteen, he expects to graduate from electrical engineering school soon. An older sister is a doctor, and her two younger sisters are school students. She quipped that American teens are much freer than their Indian counterparts. In India, there is only about half as much confidence in teenagers. It is nearly im- possible for them to get jobs. In her Indian school, Chandra served as a class repre- sentative in S.C.A. in both her tenth and eleventh grade years. She has taken three years each of chemistry, physics, mathematics, and biology. She is of a modernistic Hindu sect which advocates that worship should not be restricted to one certain day of the week, although there is a weekly holiday on Sunday. Her temple is always open, but Chandra explains, God is everywhere.” Now that she is at our schol, Chandra is on the SUR- VEYOR staff, and writes the Chandra Observes” co lumn. She is a member of both the Science and World Events clubs. She really enjoys her experience of attending G. W., although the first month was awful.” When Chandra returns to India, she will attend college and study medicine. Although she wants to be a doctor, bio-chemistry is her second choice of career. Chandra has won a place in our hearts, and will take a part of each of us home with her. In turn she has made a favorable imprint on each of us, and our lives have been bettered by her short presence. Student Council President Alan Kidd extends his hand in welcome to Chandra, while George Washington looks on. 27
