Liberian Students Spark KB Recently, a post-game party was held at the home of Marge Walatka 65, to which seventeen Liberian students were invited. These boys later consent- ed to an interview with Mig Gimbel and Kate Schaffert, both '65. Here is an account of their interview: When we arrived at the Dempsey Hotel, we were met by six of the boys: Wilno Sampson, Dudley Saw- yerr, Joseph Nagbe, Joseph Gibson, Francis Broh and McKenzie Doe. Mr. Sampson, vice-president of the group, introduced himself and acted as host until James Darwin, the president, joined us. The boys, who have been here since September 1, will stay ap- proximately two years while they learn skills that will enable them to work in the hydro-electric plant at Mt. Coffee, Liberia. Mig: “I was really surprised when I asked the boys to tell us of the dif- ferences they noticed between our two countries.” Once upon a time at 6 am, Monday, August 17, 1964, a courageous little group of escaped inmates from AHS set out across an unknown expanse of desert to found the great metropol- is of Flagstaff, Arizona. While crossing a desolate tract of the desert, a light from above told Fatha Isais Keller that this was to be the sight of their great city, Flag- staff. When he told the others, Mutha Is- abella Keller said, “What is wrong with thou? Canst thou seest that the place crawlest with various desert ver- min?” Fatha replied, “Yon desert creatures are nice, besides the Power (company) above hath told me that we must set- tle here.” And so the spot was chosen. Today, Flagstaff is a bustling com- munity of 111 inhabitants, many of whom work in the “clipper” factory. Recently the citizens of Flagstaff celebrated an anniversary (reason un- known) with Flagstaff Week at Ten Thousand Feet High, the town’s largest high school. The “Tootsies,” as the TTFH’ers are called, (the name was chosen in commemoration of the main industry) produced a play, read poems and held a revival meeting. The Associated Press put out a bul- letin on the Flagstaffian festivities, an- nouncing the completion of the George H. K. Mitchell Subway Tunnel under Cretan Lane, the city’s one and only street. Mr. Mitchell started construction when he moved from Chicago to Flag- staff and found that he was homesick for the subways. Also included in the bulletin was a flash on the Tootsie team’s first victory in the area marble Sampson: “Actually our countries are almost identical. Our country is head- ed by a president, who selects a cabi- net of advisors. Our cities, some as big as yours, are run by men whose posi- tion in office is similar to that of a governor in the United States.” Darwin: “At home, our educational systems are very similar. English is the common language, but French, Latin and German are taught in our schools, also.” Kate: “Have you found it hard to adjust?” Sampson: “We noticed that here one does not greet another person unless he knows him. At home, we greet everyone, young and old, whether we know him or not. Neglecting this would be a sign of very poor manners and training.” Gibson: “Another difference we’ve noticed is the way you cook your po- tatoes. (Kate and I just looked at each tournament. Greg Miller scored 53 of the team’s 71 points but time out had to be called when he tore a hole in the knee of his knickers. You may have seen some posters and tags around AHS, because the school has 13 exchange students who recrossed the desolate desert in com- memoration of the first crossing by their ancestors. Knight Drives For Crusade “Good guys give” is the theme of the United Crusade. Students of Dav- enport were invited by the Times-Dem- ocrat to submit editorials on the cru- sade. One article from each area school was chosen, and from these finalists, was decided the grand winner. Judy Hornbuckle ’65, who entered her editorial, which was an English assignment, was taken completely by surprise when she received the win- ning prize. “I never thought of win- ning,” admitted Judy. Entitled simply United Crusade, her article was approximately 350 words. “Mostly, I just stated why it was im- portant to give to the United Crusade,” Judy remarked. Judy used current information and her own attitude on the subject for re- search. “Also, I got a lot of my ideas from sociology class when we were studying the Christian Community,” she concluded. The editorial was published in the Times-Democrat during the last of Oc- tober along with Judy’s picture. Interview other as he continued.) We are young men not old. We do not need our food cooked like babies.” We laughed when we realized that it was ‘mashed’ potatoes about which he spoke; and explained that mash- ing potatoes is the common preparation in many restaurants. “In Liberia, rice is the substitute for potatoes. The crop is presently being cultivated, but with difficulty. The time of planting occurs at the same time that the birds migrate to the warmer climate of Liberia, and con- sequently, the birds eat all the rice seed,” the boys explained. As the conversation changed from agriculture to entertainment, we dis- covered the inevitable — the Beatles — had invaded Liberia too. “Their songs are all right, but their hair styles are out of the sixteenth century,” laughed one of the boys. The boys all look forward to their future in America though they ap- prehensively anticipate snow, which they’ve seen only in movies.
