Great Neck North felt the international spark in '61 -'62, as the American Field Service committee played host to charming Ana Castro and sponsored a year of ex- citing activities. The A.F.S. committee ex- panded its scope and organized meetings in which several Great Neck international traveler-students related their experiences through slides and informal discussions; and at similar meetings several A.F.S. students living on Long Island shared information about their native countries. In addition, A.F.S. undertook two large projects. First, it sponsored an International Week- end in conjunction with the South School, the first such weekend in Great Neck history. Thirty A.F.S. exchange students who were living on Long Island spent a weekend in Great Neck, exchanging ideas and enjoyment with local students and each other. The second undertaking was the scholar- ship fund-raising workday. Students ener- getically set out into the community, early May 5, undertaking any odd job from gardening to car washing in an ambitious at- tempt to raise money for the A.F.S. program.

To my school and my friends, because that is what it is, my school. No stranger can ever feel that he belongs to a group of people as much as I feel I belong to Great Neck, this school, and this community. One day somebody told me, I can not imagine you going back to Uruguay. You seem to be part of America. What I cannot imagine is leaving you behind me. Many years will go by, but this experience is one I shall never forget. How can I forget that I found here a family willing to share not only their home, but also their love? I found help not only in my family, but also from my teachers, class- mates, and from all those people whom I've met with in everyday life. Some day I shall meet some of you and our embrace will be the revival of an old friendship, one that came about in the most natural way and that is based on the most important feeling, sin- cerity. Yours always. Ana Castro 18
