A GIANT LEARNS TO WALK PG. 3 VOLUME XLIX Seventeen Seniors In 4 Who's Who' How They Spent The Holiday BY PORTER DAWSON Among the legions that heard Perry Como sing "There's No Place Like Home for the Holidays" were a number of Guilfordians who tried to do as much as possible to dis prove the validity of this thesis. Most of them are our foreign stu dents. Many, who found it im possible to go home made plans for one of the most exciting Christ mases they have ever enjoyed. Ayub and Robai Watakila for example, accompanied Mr. and Mrs. Donald Deagon on a trip to Pennsylvania, where Mrs. Watakila looked forward to seeing her first white Christmas. December tem peratures back at their home in Kenya range from 50-80 degrees. Hideo Shiozumi, who misses home very much, was invited by some friends to spend his vacation in Maine. They gave him a Christ mas much like the ones he remem bers back in Japan. He especially looked forward to skiing again— something that he has not done since he left home. Lisa Sanders went home to Puerto Rico, where Christmas lasts from December 24 to January 6. There, the gifts are brought by the traditional Three Wise Men, much as Santa Claus brings them in the United States. This same kind of Christmas is celebrated in Cuba, and Raimundo Aviles has an amusing anecdote about some of his past Christmases. His family would celebrate his mother's birthday the day before the night of the visit of the Three Wise Men. In the true spirit of the season, they would leave cake for the camels and three beers for die Wise Men. Patrice Massu could not go home to Chile, so he celebrated the holi days in New York and New Jersey. Suntho Teao, from Cambodia, spent the holidays resting and working to earn some spending money. Thus many of our foreign stu dents heard sleigh-bells ring again, but in a different wonderland. W.S.C.
