Rogers Bowl strikes again “The XYZ Affair was between the United States and what country?’’ . . . “Who was the first president to be appointed vice-president?’’ . . . “Who is known as the Father of the Con- stitution?” . . . “Name the volcano that buried Pompeii.” These were just a few of the questions asked in the 1976 Rogers’ Bowl. The duels began promptly at 9:20, and each team took its place at the table hoping that nervous button-fingers and silly mistakes wouldn’t do them in. As more teams were eliminated, tension increased. The final round brought Mr. Alber’s team of Pete Franklin, Don Zahrn, and Mario Obejas to match wits a- gainst Mr. Lenard’s team of Bob Lisak, Rich Harding, and Sylvia DePriest and to capture the 1976 Rogers’ Bowl. 1 Nancy Halfacre keeps the finalist scores as anx- ious team members await the next question 2 While Mario Obejas and Pete Franklin concen- trate on a hard question Don Zahrn signals to answer. 29

“In a conversation with a young Colombian girl 1 was asked which part of Colombia I was from. When 1 told her I was from the States, she asked me if 1 have ever been to the moon. This happened shortly after a well- publicized NASA mission, explained Chuck Baldwin. Chuck resided in Cali, Colombia, for three months last summer. His trip was sponsored by International Fellowship, and Spanish Club contributed one hundred dollars. When asked about the difference in countries, Chuck stated, They have a much slower lifestyle; for instance, my ‘father' worked from 8 a m. until 1 p.m., then came home for a big supper. After supper he went back for a couple more hours. He also said. “I enjoyed the slow and friendly ways of the populated town. The crime rate was very high. They’d think you were crazy if you didn’t have barred windows.’’ Chuck’s activities included touring the country, horseback riding, and socializing in the pop- ular discotheques. 1 In native apparel Chuck Baidu in brings a bit of South America to Michigan City 2 Pam Calloway' reflects on her recent visit to Italy. 3 A native of Colombia, Guillermo Borrero thinks of his homeland. Students exchange lifestyles 1 found it strange that they didn’t solo date. Everyone always went out together,” explained Pam Calloway about her Italian peers. Pam, who lived within a typical Italian household, added, There is a definite generation gap in most families; for instance, the girls ususally don’t leave the house until marriage, and if they attend school, they must commute by train. The trip was sponsored by the American Field Service, which fur- nished half of the expense. After 26 hours of plane and train traveling, Pam, not speaking Italian, encountered a language barrier. This didn’t curtail her activities. In the afternoons, she went with friends to see shows, go bowling, eat ice cream and watch the ever-popular sport Fussball (soccer). During the second month of her visit, Pam changed from family living to group living. Pam and the other 46 AFS students were free to attend lectures. These lectures were unique,” Pam noted, because the lecturers were often communists or members from leftist groups. It occurred to me then that the “American way” may not be the best for everyone.” After her two month visit to Italy, Pam reflected, My ex- periences with the Italian people were interesting, enlightening and exciting.” Dear Rogers, I’m happy to have been a part of this school because you have been very nice to me. 1 remember when I got here last September, of course I knew a little English, but it was hard for me to understand ex'eryone. As a matter of fact, there were a lot of you that helped me in daily life. The things I will remember most about this school are the dances and games. Between Rogers and the school in my country there is quite a dif- ference because at Rogers you may choose the subjects you like but in my country you can’t; you have to take the school program. We have our own classrooms and the teachers move from one to the other. I think it has been quite an experience for me to learn the dif- ferent customs and life systems of the American people.” Guillermo Borrero
