West Campus Extends Welcome To First Exchange Student Celina Varela is known not only as West's foreign exchange student from Brazil, but also for her ability to accompany herself as she sings folk songs and hossa nova. When not playing the guitar, Celina is active in the American Field Service, Stu- dent Council, A Cappella Choir and GAA. Perhaps one of the highlights of her year in America is the snow. She likes skating and snowball fights especially well. Snow won't go back to Brazil, but many memories will. Celina and the Converse family are a terrific group with many common interests. Seated are Ruth, Celina. Louise: standing Steve, Mr. and Mrs. Duane Converse. Celina and the Converse family have had many enjoyable experiences. They never fail to get together when there is a need for it, says Celina. ef?-1-'gifs M revise:-asiise . f - ,- we Wagga-14.4 I afjfiggiig easzsaw. M... -W - V- - ft -,ess -155,1 ,. ss... ,.
