Guatemala Native
Visits Campus
On Thursday, March 9, Mrs.
Cuthrell’s Spanish class spent
a delightful hour listening to
and questioning Miss Janica
Hopper of Guatemala City,
Guatemala. (Note to the
geographical minded and the
ignorants: Guatemala is
located in Central America,
and bordered to the North and
West by Mexico, to the South
by the pacific Ocean, and to
the East by British Honduras,
Honduras, and San Salvador.)
Miss Hooprt has lived for
many years in Guatemala
where her father is with the
Hiilip Morris Company. She
attended elementary and
junior high classes in a co
educational school where, she
reminisces, “We had to attend
more classes and had more
homework than American
students could ever believe
possible.” She followed a dual
curriculum, in English in the
morning and in Spanish
during the afternoon. In ad
dition, when she entered
second grade she had to select
a foreign language. The choice
was between French, Ger
man, and Russian. School
hours were from eight to
twelve and two to four, with a
two hour break for lunch and
siesta.
She began her talk by em
phasizing that Guatemalan
society is divided into two
very distinct classes; the
immensely rich and the
dismally poor. A third class is
presently trying to emerge,
but it will be a long time
before it can be large or
powerful enough to be
counted.
The American students in
Mrs. Cuthrell’s class were
surprised when, in answer to a
question posed by Wayne
Best, the young lady explained
that in her adopted country
dating and going steady are
not permitted among young
people of the upper class.
Instead they get together at
large parties where much
care is taken that each guest
thoroughly enjoys himself. In
the few cases where a couple
is allowed to date, a chaperone
must be in attendance.
Rum and Coca-Cola is
served at most of these social
affairs, but excessive drinking
is rare. Miss Hooper feels that
perhaps this is due to the fact
that no restrictions are placed
on alcoholic beverages which
are available to anyone. As
she puts it, “No one has to
sneak to get a drink; this may
remove some of its appeal.”
However for the
Guatemalan on the other side
of town, life is vastly different.
TTiere, illiteracy, crime, and
illegitimeacy are rampant.
Many young women are left
struggling to raise a number
of children fathered by an
assorted number of young
men who refused to recognize
their progeny. Unfortunately
proof of letitimacy is often
required for acceptance in
school. These children
eventually resort to stealing
and to various crimes in order
to support themselves, thus
completing the vicious circle
of ignorance and poverty.
On the subject of
Guatemalan political life.
Miss Hooper would only say
that it is frought with dangers,
and best left to the few
powerful families who control
it.
However she deplored the
/v\
■McDon^ds
have to get involved! That is
exactly what she did.
Presently Broom is presiding
as president of Alpha Pi
Epsilon Service Sorority, the
only girls’ sorority here on
campus. She represented
them as a candidate for Miss
WCC. Serving as a
cheerleader for this past
basketball season. Hazel plans
to be on the squad again next
year. She is involved and
works hard to make WCC the
greatest!!
The main objective of my
campaign is— “To change the
entire image of Wayne
Community College in the
minds of this community and
the students here at the
college. If elected. Broom
promises to work even harder.
A 1971 graduate of Golds
boro High School, Hazel
Broom enrolled in the College
Transfer program at WCC this
fall not knowing what to ex
pect of this college. From the
opinions of others in her
community. Hazel did not
expect much of WCC.
However, after enrollment she
realized she could waste these
two years of her life or she
could really make these two
years at WCC very success.
Hazel believes that to really
make them good she would
government’s present policy
of discouraging foreign in
dustry and investments. But
she laughed when suggested
that this reticence may stem
from a fear that foreign in
dustry and investment would
open the gate to foreign in
fluence and to the evils that
are now endangering Western
civilization. “Oh no,” she
exclaimed, “this would not
happen there. Guatemala
would assimilate only what it
chose, and reject what it
deemed undesirable.”
By her own admission she is
the product of these two
civilizations. Her charm, tact,
and gracious manner are
proof that the two can com
bine with most attractive
results.
