ABALLI, who originally made her home in Havana, Cuba, traveled to the United States many times be- fore she came here to live perma- nently. She and her family were very fortunate to escape Castro's Cuba only days before all residents were forbidden to leave. Mrs. Aballi re- ceived her degrees from Indiana State University. You have too many things--don't take them for granted, is very knowing advice from this S.H.S. Spanish teacher. AN A.B.
