HARRISVILLE WELCOMES ITS FOURTH FOREIGN EXCHANGE STUDENT, LUIZ ORENSTEIN OF BRAZIL (seated) Mrs. Betty Kilbourn and Mr. William Kilbourn, host parents; (standing, left to right) Barbara Kilbourn, Luiz, and Wendy Kilbourn. Luiz Orenstein, a native of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, arrived in Harrisville on December 20, 1969. Although accustomed to the beautiful warm beaches of Rio at this time of year, Luiz adapted to the snow and the surrounding open spaces quickly and soon became an avid skier and snow-mobiler. When school reopened after the Christmas break, Luiz was enrol led in a number of courses, including Chemistry, French, English, Problems of Democracy, and Mathema- tics. In Brazil, his schedule includes, in addition to Mathematics, Chemistry, English, and French, History, Portuguese, and Physics. He is planning a career as an electronics engineer. His family, besides his father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. Oscar Orenstein, in- cludes two grandparents, a sister, Helena who is eighteen, and himself. He has relatives in the United States, in Cleveland, and in Canada, in Montreal. While in the United States, Luiz made two trips to Cleveland. He also accompanied the other Brazilian exchange students on a week-long trip to New York City and Wash- i ngton. Asked about his hobbies, Luiz remarked that he likes very much to surf and to p I ay soccer. Luiz quickly earned the adulation of his host family and of the student body. He has given all of us something that we shall never forget, remarks Wendy, his host sister. He has proven that a person from a different country can come into a home unknown to him and truly become one of the family. Once again it has been shown that behind the facade of customs strange to us there exists a human heart with yearnings quite similar to ours. We wish Luiz much success and happiness.
