W.H.S. Receives Exchange Student From Italy The Westwood Warriors were honored with the presence of Raffaele Reda, A.F.S. Foreign Exchange Stu- dent for the T966-67 school year. Raffaele was born in Taino, a small northern city near the Swiss border. His family later moved to Riccione, Italy, where he has since lived. His father is a Warrant Officer in the Air Force, and his mother is a housewife. Raffaeles trip took about T5 days, including a TO day voyage on the ship Seven Seaslf' He then boarded a bus in New York and arrived in Mesa on August 8, where he was welcomed by the John Durham family, with whom he lived. One of the hardest things for Raffaele to become accustomed to, was to stay in school until ten after three, as he was used to going to school six days a week and getting out at twelve-forty-five, at which time the family W Sv- an Urilnni ff .. -- . fqeld war an 90 I... The John Durham Family with exchange student, Raffaele Reda, center back, would have the main meal of the day. He found his classes much easier here, because in Italy, he had as many as twelve subiects a week. The classes were rotated and each day his schedule changed. Some of the more unusual subiects were Italian, philosophy, and chemistry, which included the study of anatomy. The dating customs were very much different for Raffaele also. In Italy, dating takes place in the afternoon, notthe evening. The talented enchange student was a member of the Westwood High School Orchestra where he was a violin- ist, an instrument which he has played for four years. Raffaele also enioys playing tennis and riding his Vespa motorcycle. When asked what he liked best in America he answered, l iust dont know, there are so manythingsu. g mv 1715 To i i' Mr. 8- Mrs. Reda GOVERNMENT 23
