Those of us who were fortunate enough to go to Greece consider ourselves the luckiest students in the entire American Field Service program. Although things were a little difficult to adjust to at first, we soon lost our feelings of shyness and settled down to becoming a part of our respective families. Learning a new alpha- bet and a new language was fun, and on the plane we gathered in small groups to study our little blue bibles, Say It in Modern Greek. We learned to eat new foods and found it hard to turn down the fifth helping. Certainly we will all remember the fresh fruit and the delicious Greek sweets, Sleeping and eating hours confused us at first-we could not quite get used to eating supper at 10:30 p.m. We marveled at the beauty and splendor of the ancient Greek ruins and felt very small and unimportant when thinking of the great men who had lived there and had contributed so much to the world as we know it today. The cities are both new and old, and the fruit seller with his donkey and cart were often seen stopped in front of a modem building. The fun-loving nature of the people in- fected us all and helped us to adapt to many things that had previously been strange. Perhaps the most outstanding impression we received from our sum- mer's stay was the hospitality, kindness, and friendliness of the Greek people. They were always willing to go out of their way to be courteous to us and to help us, no matter how poor they may have been. We will never forget our families and the friends that we made. Our thanks to the American Field Service for making our trip possible.
