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.

Color and charm of far away coun- tries came to Titusville during the an- nual A.F.S. weekend. Some activities of the weekend were a reception at the University of Pittsburgh, a visit to Drake Well Pork, and a party at Tyc-Toc. Ten different countries were represented by these young ambassadors of goodwill. A fish fry was held at the high school to raise money for the local American Field Service chapter. Live entertain- ment was presented by talented stu- dents who donated their time and effort on behalf of the exchange student program. f c Language students (above) enpy a fast moving gome of volleyball at tfie A.F.S. gym party.
