, ..,L, , Q Arriving in Smiles, They Leave in Tears Maria, Christina, and Marta arrived in january wreathed in smiles and grew to be a part of the spirit of MHS. Maria Rubina, whose host family was the Norman Schoeppels, Christina Cruz, who lived with the Rex Easterlings, and Marta Carrasco whose family for the ten week period was the Kenneth lenners, were sponsored by the International Student Ex- change program. They came from Chile, bringing with them a deep desire to contribute to a better knowledge and understanding between the two Americas. The delightful trio enjoyed being members of the Pep Squad and Spanish club, and taking part in the day-by-day routine of Mexico High. They presented authentic Chilean dances and showed slides for civic organizations, attended con- certs and plays, were surprised by birthday parties, cooked native dishes, had dates, and proved that, though the customs and culture of Chile and the USA might be different in some ways, teen-fun is universal. Having ISE students from Chile at MHS from january through March was a story with a happy ending-despite the tears when the girls left-one that has widened the horizons for MHS students. Elmer's Glue, yarn, and imagination combine with the artistic tal- ents of Maria, Marta, and Christina to fashion wall decorations. fleftl Marta, Maria and Christina pose with their host families, from left, Vicki and Kathyjenner, Nancy Schoeppel, andlane Easterling. 5 V .2 jx sa J' af J' ef H-'rf it. as -at ' f i .
