Smyrna Junior,
Native OF Cuba,
Realizes Dream
For Citizenship

Nicolas Rosello, a student at
the John Bassett Moore High
School, became citizen of the
United States on Monday, June
15. He was sworn in and took
the oath of allegiance in u. S.
District Court at Wilmington,
with the Hon. Richard c. Rod
ney presiding. "Nicky," as he
is called by his schoolmates and
friends, came to the United
States on visit in 1852 for
six months through the efforts
of Mrs. Helen Grier, of Smyrna.
While here he was enrolled in
the Smyrna School. When his
visa was up the Court extended
it for another three months so
he could finish the school term.
During these months, Howard
A. Green, a brother of Mrs.
Grier, and his wife, Audrey, be-
came attached to the boy and
decided to get him back for the
next school term. The effort
involved much work, with a
couple of trips to Washington,
D. c., and to Havana. Mr.. Green
finally got a student visa for
Nicky to return for another
year. After this, steps were
taken to procure a permanent
residence or immigrant visa.
This was issued in Havana, Cuba
on December %, 1857 and at
the same time Nicky's father
and mother signed documents
appointing Mr.. Green as his
legal guardian. In October 1858
application was made for Nicky
to become a naturaliZed citizen
of the United States. After
studying and passing his exam.
nations, his dream was fulfilled
on Monday, June is, 1859. The
eighteen-year-old junior at the
high school is active in all
sports but likes football best
He is a member of the Silver
Eagles, teenage boys club, and
also of the band of the Citizens
Hose Company. At present he
is associated with the A & F
Store here, but in the fall he
will return to school. He re
sides with Mr.. and Mrs. Green
but visits his relatives an(
friends in Havana.

secutive days of rain have hamp-
cred the training methods, but
