Brazilian summer exciting for Mike While a lot of us were lying around soaking up the sun last summer, Mike Adelman was learning to speak Portu- guese. Mike spent ten weeks of his summer vocation in Sao Paulo, Brazil, as an American Abroad student from the United States. Mike lived with the family of Manoel Afonso de Andre, Jr., and had eight South American brothers and sisters: Gil, Celso, Paulo, Manoel, Carlos, Ed- wardo, Gougi, and Zoca. During his stay in Sao Paulo, Mike went to an all boy ' s school. By attend- ing some of the parties and dances, he found that teenagers around the world enjoy the same things: dancing, sing- ing, playing guitars, and just goofing off. Mike enjoyed Brazil immensely, and his only regret was that he couldn ' t stay longer. He was just beginning to communicate fluently in Portuguese when he had to leave. If ever given a chance to go abroad again, he intends to take it!

Shin adds an oriental touch A touch of the business world was added to T.H.S. this year by Shinichiro Orio. Shin was born in Tokyo, Japan, in 1952. He attended Chuo High School and College; he still would like to at- tend on American college and major in Business Administration. This would not be a strange field for him, as he al- ready owns three restaurants, two cof- fee shops, and a supper club. During his school career in Japan, Shin was a track star. He holds the Japanese school record for the 400 meter dash, with a time of 48.7 Originally Shin intended to study in London, but came to Titusville as the friend and house guest of the Mrs. Ma- rion Romaniszyn family.
