CINDY IRISH SELECTED AS HARRISV ILLE'S FIRST EXCHANGE STUDENT; SELECTS MEXICO CITY Left to right: friend of host family, Senora Ram irez-Garcia, Cindy, Cesar, son of host family, friend of the family, Toni, a friend, and Senor Ram irez-Garcia. During the summer of 1968, Cindy Irish, daughter of Mrs. John Irish and a Senior at Harrisville Central, spent ten weeks as a guest of Senor and Senora Ramirez- Garcia of Mexico City. Cindy had selected Mexico City as her first choice since she wanted to go to a large city. Her stay in this beautiful Latin American city was not without many memorable events. The Summer Olympics were being held in this capital city; there were two earthquakes during which a number of buildings crumbled and countless windows were broken; student riots resulted in many deaths and considerable property damage. Asked about Mexican food, Cindy stated that breakfast did not differ from our own American breakfasts. Lunch and dinner were combined into one large meal, taken between three- thirty and four-thirty. It consisted of soup, fruit drink, at times wine or beer, bread (similar to rolls), vegetables, meat or fish, rice and at times potatoes, and fruit. At nine-thirty in the evening, a snack of cookies, sandwiches and a drink was taken. For entertainment, there were fiestas on Friday and Saturday evenings, bull fights, roller and ice skating, bowling, movies (32 t) and church organizations. Girls are not al lowed to go out without a chaperone. Cindy concluded by saying that the people were very friendly and Cindy and Mexican friend hospitable.
