1957 Thunderbird (yearbook)

              THE AMERICAN INSTITUTE
"THERE IS NO OCEAN
AS GRAND AS THE WAVES
OF UNDERSTANDING
THAT CROSS OVER IT" 

F O R EIGN TRADE
Dedicated to the
Class of '47
THERE WERE MORE than 300 of them. It was the late sum­mer
of '46 and most of them were just out of the Air Force,
probably attracted by the fact that AIFT was General Yount's
school. The rest were fresh from the Army and the Navy.
Their heads were full of memories of Bataa n and the long
bomber raids out of Saipan, of the jungle fighting in the
Solomons and New Guinea, of the Hump and the Bulge, of
beachheads in Norma ndy and at Anzio, of the night flights
from Britain and Foggia. Their nerves were still keyed high
and there were some recollections that were better forgot­ten.
They had an immense vitality and a gay devil-may-care
a i r about them. They were civi lians again, many of them
with their pockets full of separation pay and a great eager­ness
to spend it before they had to go to work for a living
in some nine-to-five job in Brazil or Venezuela.
Among those who will never forget them are the good
burghers of Glendale and Phoenix. When they marched to
their seats by the pool for graduation, to the tune of "Pomp
a nd Circumstance", they held their heads high and were
uncommonly solemn. But later that day they staged a riotous
Neptune Ceremony beside the pool and wound up heaving
all the spectators-faculty and students-into the water for
one mass dunking. 
In a few days they were gone and }he as }'e􀁢􆈠 empty. I do not remember how many of em ot l's i
LA-200. It did not seem to matter gJieatly tbe 􀁡􆅯o m􀃌􌰠 th􀃍􌵹y
were much more than students of mine, a na I raise a glass of
A-1 to them all, wherever they may be.

From lunches by the pool to long chats

T H E A I FT FACULTY represents th ree spheres
of lear n i ng: area studies, language, and
foreig n t rade. In each of these departments
we have fbund that our teachers were prac­t
ical experts i n the i r subj ects: thei r knowl­edge
is generated from years of l i v i ng i n
the countries, spea k i ng the languages, and
marketing the goods of America.
The i r approach to teachi ng has been
pragmatic, modern, and rea l istic, and from
the i r fri endship and encouragement we
have tried to devel op, as i nd i v i duals, w hat
A I FT stands for: a person better prepared

FEW P EOPLE TODAY have had as honored
and va ried a career of foreign service as
Dr. W i l liam Lytle Schu rz. As Area Studies
Di rector a nd Professor of the latin America,
Western Eu rope, and International Relations
cou rses, Dr. Sch u rz is a rich source of knowl­edge
a nd experience. His wa rmth, a n d un­derstanding
of other peoples a nd for man­kind
in general have exemplified to us the
real fou ndations for a successful career
abroad.
Emily Brown
TEACH I NG the Far East a rea is only one of
the many tasks u ndertaken at AIFT by Miss
Emil y Brown, Director of Public Relations.
At Thunderbird after a career as correspon­dent
in Southeast Asia d u ring a nd a fter
World War II, Miss Brown lends to students
of the Far East a perceptive a nd wa rm­headed
g l a nce at the cultu res of the Orient.

Foreign Trade
BY COMB INING the aggregate experience of
more years than they might wish to tell, our
foreign trade depa rtment teachers have con­ducted
a yea r-long campaign to give us a clear
and intelligent business picture. To our endless
questions they were forever patient, and to our
efforts they were always fa ir. For whatever we
may know of the rea lities of foreign trade, we
thank this group, whose abi l ity and sincerity
were a st imulus never fu lly appreciated.
And advertising, too.

SHELLED WITHIN their half of the Faculty Bui lding, ou r
language teachers sit in the most cosmopol itan concentra­tion
of individua ls at AIFT. Of varied personalities and
numerous dialects, they afforded us a sing ular opportunity
to know-and to learn from-a. good sampling of the world's
population. Their eagerness and enthusiasm, thei r regards
for our progress, were proven every day, in class and out.
They were our teachers, and our friends.

THE CLASSES OF 1957 represe nt the tenth
anniversary graduates of AIFT. Although
we have borrowed from traditions cemented
for us in the past decade, each of us has
brought-and doubtless received something
new from the Thunderbi rd environment. For
as unified as are our aims, so varied are the
backgro unds of our classma tes. By fusing
together these unrelated pasts, we have
formed a well-knit group who, each one,
has fo und this ye ar wonderfu lly rewarding
in valued friendsh ips. On the next two
pages are statistics that give a new perspec­tive
of our classes.

Class Pro file
PROFILES, as profi les usually go, are generally
inclined to come up with some sort of average,
a common ma n, a norm, or the li ke. The May
1957 Class Profile is noth ing more tha n a reliabie
brea kdown of the students themselves, from
where they came, their ed ucational backgrounds,
their conditio ns, marita l to ma rtia l, all ba sed on
data sheets fi lled out honestly, we must suppose,
by September 19, 1956.
Stati stica lly there were 196 men and women
students, excluding wives, who regi stered for
AIFT's fu ll course. A standout 1.6tjr of us were
si ngle girls (th ree). Bachelor men totaled 109 and a 55.6/􀄊􀨠 ma jority, with 84 ma rried me n
comp leting the class. Of these, 56 had no child­ren,
28 had one or more. One only needed to
remain here for a yea r to see how these last
figu res were readjusted.
We came from all over the cou ntry, representing
36 states plus the District of Co lumbia, and 6 foreign countries. Californians preva iled with
28tjr of the class, outn umbering Il linois' seco nd­la
rgest delegation 4 to 1 and the voc iferous
ha ndful from Texa s a little over 5 to 1. Most of
us have been breathing air for about 26.9 years,
with the exception of a couple of jet pilots who
spent some time on pure oxygen. Our youngest
reg istrant was 20, the oldest 54. Most of us
were Depression babies and many of us found
our fina nces in a simi lar state during the yea r.
In Attempting To pay our school debts, 117 of
us had aid from one of the Public Law bills. Five
of that number came under the Wo rld War II bill.
In other efforts to meet the levi es, over 40 stu­dents
and 35 wives held full or pa rt-time jobs off
campus. Another 25 students and wives were
empl oyed by the Institute.
Of the 184 regular AIFT students st udying lan­guages,
145 took Spanish, 20 enrolled in Port­uguese,
and 19 studied French. Wives ta king
part in the language training were 37, 3, and 7
respective ly.
The great ma jority of us, 79 7r , have preferred to
live on campus. During the fi rst semester 30 co uples lived in the surrounding area, while
nine single students also resided off-campus.
For the second semester; the married couples
living awtly remained the same, and a total of
13 bachelors joined them in town (or the red
barn), ra ising the off-campus tota l to 23%.

Degrees by Major
Before ent eri ng AIFT, 93.3'/r of us had received
college deg rees, with 7'/r hol ding advanced de­grees
up to Doctor of Veterinary Medicine. Those
with liberal arts deg rees composed 46'}1,; of the
total, while the men with B.S. deg rees included
another thircl of the student body. The origin
of these degrees corresponds roug hly to our
geog raphical distribut ion, with the addition of
1 l foreign institutions.
Our ma rti al status included 18.2 % uninitiated,
39.3 'f,, who "chose" the Army, 18.9',/, who
served with the Navy, 18.4'f,, from the Air Force,
3.61]{ rugged Mari nes, and 1.6'/r Coast Guard
vets. One third of these vete ra ns were officers.
Du ring the yea r we drank and stud ied together;
shared rooms and "johns", rumors and com­plaints;
worried, competed, and cooperated;
ca􀇪􎩧ght colds and preg na ncies; played pinball
and juke boxes and cussed the ping-pong players
when we watched T-V; let our cars get dirty and
went to Nogales whenever possible; and when
we lea rned more about foreign trade than we
had imagined, we found out that foreigners
aren't so fo rei gn after all . Here we are, the tenth

whose knowl edge is as complete in French and
Spanish as in h􀄍􀵲r native Portuguese. Miss de­Noronha's

THERE'S NO A I FT T RADITION more impressive
than the a n n u a l Ch ristmas pageant, Las Posadas.
It tel ls the story of the Nativity in fou r l a nguages,
English, French, Spanish, and Portuguese. Last
December's program saw Lloyd Ranger, Ed Gar­land,
Niram W i l son and Dan Ha rkins reading
B i blica l passages in the respecti ve languages.
Miss Maria L. deNoronha directed the three l a n­g
uage choruses in carols, and the Nativity scenes
produced by Mr. Amalio Suarez were rea l istica l l y
bea utiful. The program was fol lowed b y a pinata
party at which k ids-young and old-swung for prizes in the traditional Mexican celebration.
Most Thu nderbirders agreed that, of a l l types of
Christmas programs, none was more eloquent
than this.

AS LONG AS The America n I n stitute for Fore i g n
Trade endures, i t w i l l have few moments a s p roud
as the celebration of Ma rch 1 5, 1 957. With flags
from a round the world bl azing their co l o rs in
the afternoon sun , Thunderbi rds-young a n d o l d ­gathered
i n t h e quadra n g l e t o w i sh their school
congratulations. It was on t h i s long-awaited day
that Thunderbi rd Field I became AIFT's perma­nent
home. On t h i s day AIFT sudde n l y reached
maturity. On this day the "mortgage" was
burned.
For us who were here to w i tness the occasion,
it had the air of a specia l spring day. Orange
b l ossoms sent their fragra nce th rough the a i r,
a n d the mood was l i g ht a n d cheerful . Dri n ks
were served poo l side a n d the Student Affa i rs
Committee, represented by Roger Coombs, Don
Robertson, and Bi l l Van Heusen, presented "de­grees"
to our teachers and adm i n i strators who
had been at A I FT for more t h a n five years. The
ba nd p l ayed " Pomp a n d Ci rcumstance" a s each
reci pient went forwa rd to receive his meda l a n d
a wel l -p l a nted kiss. Later t h e mortgage w a s
burned i n effigy, w ith t h e volunteer f i re depa rt­ment
doing its bit to quench the flames.
Cameras clicked, hands c l a pped, and smi les
burst forth spontaneously. It was a happy a n d
a mea n i ngful occa sion . I t was t h e end o f a l o n g
a n d sometimes a rduous chal lenge. As President
Sauer sa i d , " I t's a day of emotions that ca n not

• • • OR DOES IT?
Some of the world's political systems just don't add up. So when
you hear talk of Utopia (a much used name derived from the Greek for
"nowhere"), be ready to question; see if it figures ! Chances are it won't
add up to the individual freedom of our own system of free enterprise
... won't have as fa ir a setup as taxation according to income ... won't
include a choice of where we work or what we do with our money. Lok
over our own competitive system closely ... it's not perfect but it works
just fine ... and we're free to improve it!

THE FINE TH READ, we have been taug ht, between tolera nce and
re gard, or success and conquest, lies in a simple but powerful
word, "simp􀂁􈅴tico". Those who know it say the word does not
translate on pa per, but only in actions. At AIFT we have more
than heard the doctr ine of "sim p&tico"; we have many times
see n it put to use. This is the sp irit among administrators, faculty,
and stude nts alike which was brought to life during this year. As
we leave AIFT for poi nts that reach around the world we ca rry
the memory of a period in life that was truly "simp&tico".
