“Operation Amigo” was a program designed to strengthen friendship between Latin America and the United States. Twenty-five Brazilian students came to live with Northern students. The“amigos”, a word meaning friend, corrected misunderstand- ings about this country or just increased their knowledge. There were excitement and fun from the time the “amigos” arrived until they left, almost three weeks later. Besides going to classes here, they took many side trips. They visited Flint’s City Hall, partici- pated in a round table discussion with civic leaders, went to Flint factories, other Flint schools, Lansing, and the Universities of Michigan State and Mich- igan. Many parties were given in the amigos’ honor. With so many social engagements, the people of Flint and the Brazilians had a chance to exchange ideas and customs. Arriving at Northern to observe our school system are Francisco Fraga with his host Gary Jedynak, and Maria Degi. Laying out The North Wind are: Cynthia Mayers, Sue Salnave, amigo Selma Spinelli, Sue Stapp, Lee Ann Plew, and amigo Fernando Roccolini. Our cheerleaders, Linda Harper and Lois Michaud, teach some of Northern s cheers to amigos Carlos Strazzer, Maria Junquiera, Clovis Zanetti, and Elza Lemke at their first American football game. Ines Imperatriz and Pedro Janini demon- strate the amigos’ favorite dance, the Samba. Dancing filled many of their hours. 9
