Ir. and Sr. beach parties are a soaking success Rumor had it that the Senior Beach Party would be held Sunday afternoon at Fedder's Alley. The weather was great so I decided to stop by and see if anything was happening. As I walked down the dune, I could tell the party was al- ready in progress bythe screams of unfortunate newcomers who were being thrown into the lake. I could see small groups of people talking and laughing together. At one end of the beach, a group of boys was playing football, while the onlook- ing girls gossiped about their sum- mer romances. Everywhere I could hear the question, Are you going to Rogers or Elston? Some just stood around and enjoyed the re- freshments supplied by Elston class officers, while still more joined in a game of blanket toss or frisbee. As the summer sun sank low and the chill of the September evening set in, everyone could be found huddled around a roaring bonfire, enjoying a conversation with friends. But when the fire died and the beach was empty, Rogers and Elston were separate. The junior Beach Party consisted of much of the same 4 throwing kids in the lake, playing football, and talking around a warm bonfire about summer experiences. Party sponsor, Mr. Peters, enjoyed a cool- ing dip in Lake Michigan jwith a little coaxing from the juniors presentj, while everyone else just relaxed and enjoyed one of their last summer days before school began.

Right: Mr. Hultgren keeps Pat busy unpack- ing gas-collecting bottles in Advanced Science. Below: Sly Sue Smith tries to convince Put that she was really pedaling. Bottom: Questioning Gerry Latoni's com- ment, Mr. Lonzo pauses from explaining book reports to Steve Yuzback. bus: 'Q Can a foreign student have fun at Rogers? l 20 l lust ask Pat Fioramonti, Gerry Latoni, or Moustapha Yazback. Pat, an Argentinian girl from Rafaela, came to Michigan City through the American Field Service IAFSJ. At her American home here with the Presser's, she soon learned many things about American life - for example, how to use an auto- matic dishwasher without flooding the floor with soap suds. Pat had never seen snow before, and when it first snowed, she was in bed with a cold. When not in school confus- ing friends with her strange way of dividing, she was busy attending ballet class or a club meeting. Gerry Latoni? Ile was the one with the wire-rimmed glasses and army jacket. Gerry, who came from Puerto Rico, is living with his uncle on a trial basis. Michigan City, ac- cording to Gerry, is the same as everywhere else. Everyone com- plains there is nothing to do. Moustapha Steve Yazback is Rogers' import from Dakar, Sene- gal, Africa. Steve is visiting the U.S. for the second time and hopes to soon become a permanent resident.
