Happiness I asked professors who teach the meaning of life to tell me what is happiness. And I wentto famous executives who boss the work of thousands of men. Q They all shook their heads and gave me a smile as though I was trying to fool with them. '1 And then one Sunday afternoon I wandered out along the Desplaines River. And I saw a crowd of Hungarians under the trees with their women and children and a keg of beer and an accordion.

Paul Fredrik Heiervang Dear P.C.D.S., Many thanks for letting me come to spend a whole year in Phoenix. I can certainly say that I really love this place. The nature is beautiful, the people are nice to me, and a nice family have I got to stay with during these months. Even if the school is harder than I supposed it to be, it will give me an experience I never would have a chance to get back later in my life. You pupils of P.C.D.S. should be proud of belonging to a school like this. Not all schools have teachers who show so much interests in their pupils as P.C.D.S. None of us are grown up yet, even if we think so. We are not qualified to take the responsibilities of what we do. Therefore it is good to have teachers who are able to lead us up to the age where we understand what ed- ucation means for our future. Uusally, the young people do not discover this before it is too late. Think about it, and do not let bad ideas influence you! I will give a special thanks to those who have showed and show me and my Swedish friend Bjorn Larsson at- tention. Bjorn and I really enjoyed the river trip right after school started, even if our stumps became sore. It was really an experience. Many thanks for everything, and I hope that we will have a lot of fun together the rest of the school year. 1969-70 Swimming Soccer Ski-Club Such a stimulating clazzzzzz, . .
