ITS PEOPLE All DIEFERE I ,. . up ': itil' , A...4l5RE244.- 5 5 fitzwmsf ROBERTO GARCIA Roberto, a dark haired almost six toot Cuban, came to West High in November of l954. As you might guess, Roberto is quite an expert at the mambo, charleston, samba, and almost any hot dance you can name. Although he likes all kinds of music, Roberto especially likes to sing. Hot-dogs are Roberto's favorite American food. He says that the sports are pretty much the same in Cuba and America. Ping-pong is his specialty, but he also enjoys swimming, tennis, and volley ball. Roberto is going to be with us for his junior and senior years too, so we have plenty ot time to get better acquainted with him. EDUORD MARTIN Eduord, a senior at West this year, is an exchange student from France. He is rather reserved at first, but when you get to know him, you find he has quite a sense oi humor. Like most students from other countries, Edourd likes ham- burgers and hot dogs. What does he think of tootball? Well, it's not as exciting as soccer. I like soccer better. When telling us in assembly about education in France, Eduord mentioned the differences in our physical education classes as compared with those in France. Not having all the equipment We have, they just go outside and run tor an hour. Eduord also played some French songs on the accordion for us. The West High students hope that Eduord has liked school in America as much as We have enjoyed him this year. 4
