A Prize Student from Jugo-Slavia HW - A-ta 'ff' .j!,Zd,!g,.fJ One of our most interesting and talented stu- dents is Grozdana Lekich, a native of Jugo- Slavia. She is an earnest student of superior abil- ity and artistic talent, winning several prizes with her paintings and posters. We are fortunate to have a photograph showing her native cos- tume, and another displaying one of her unusual paintings. In the following letter Grozdana tells some of her experiences and impressions. Dear Editor: It is a pleasure to answer your question concerning my impression of America and Central High School. From the story of my father, who lived in the U. S. A. for twenty years, this country became my dream. It didn't take too long, and my dream became a fact. When I arrived in the U. S. A. in 1951, it gave me impressions hard to express. New York was a very large city, and the people and society were strange and different to me. I had lots me ww mum of diliculty because I didn't know English at all, and my three brothers and I did not have any place to live. It didn't take us too long to Hnd a way out because we found jobs. Several church organizations tried to help us, and a teacher was even sent to teach us English at home. We were working and studying, too, and soon made enough progress to become a part of American society. We are proud and glad that we have a chance to live in the twen- tieth century in the great country of the U. S. A. My ambition is to pass through school and col- lege. All I can say about the school is that the relationship between the boys and girls and the teachers is really good and modern. The prin- cipal and teachers are friendly and willing to help the students wherever they can. Sincerely yours, Grozdana Lekich
