was active in the Future Teachers

She served in areas of leadei-ship
in these areas and once again was
outstanding in her positions. Her
friendly spirit was felt by all and
in her senior year Barbara’s class
mates voted her the friendliest as
a superlative. This same spirit is
being felt each day by the students
of Montreat-Anderson College

the time consuming major of mus

Collegiate Council of the United
Nations, and as secretary-treasur

for Barbara as its Harvest Queen.
An outstanding personality, Nick
Rosello, was chosen with the ap
proval of the students. He was
born in a small town called El
Calbario in Cuba. He lived there
six years before moving to Man
tilla, a town outside of Havana,
at the age of eight. After meet
ing an American tourist on the
streets of Havana, Nick and his
parents decided that he should come
to the United States to visit the
tourist, Mrs. Grier. Being from
a family of nineteen, Nick felt
very fortunate to be the one chos
en to come. The trip to the United
States was a wonderful experience
for him. On July 26, 1963, he ar
rived at Mrs. Grier’s home in
Smyrna, Delaware. She became
Nick’s second mother. That fall
he enrolled in school in Smyrna.
In 1969 his visa expired. The
choice was up to him whether to
go back to his home in Cuba or to
remain in the United States. With
the opportunities that faced Nick
in the United States, he decided
to stay in this land of freedom. On
June 16, 1969, Nick Rosello be
came a citizen of the United States.
The same month he graduated
from Smyrna High School. During
high school Nick was very active
in football and in basketball.
