Four foreign students studied at Memorial, learning the basics of international understanding as well as the culture and language of Texas. Under the American Field Service, two foreign students stayed with Memorial families. Emilia Rojas from Asuncion, Paraguay, living in the home of Janis Dubow, enjoyed the greater political freedom in the States while her American family enjoyed her amiable personality. Staying with Student Council President Jim Lober, Swiss born Werner Bussman was delighted by Texas customs, conveniences and slang. Private exchange students, Jochin Wesel from Germany and Osnat Zahir, brought from Israel by a youth group, also transferred here. Alan Denekas, traveled to Bal Vilbel, Germany to spend his senior year abroad. He studied American literature in German, toured Europe and returned to Houston in mid-July. 58-Student Life ll' zz 1 I M ., u - 12- ,J-mn..,,,,M,mW K f f L f , If I we .
