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.
