My year in the town on the river has flowed away in an instant. I would like to thank everybody who made it possible for me to come here. This quiet and friendly town will always be in my mind. Five days of school a week, the frankness of the people, the sincerity of the students ... I hope I can make use of this experience of Baldwinsville in my future. But to my regret I must say Sayonara to this wonderful land. Sayonara, Yokko Yamamoto Graduation Day — this is the day one and all never forget, when one feels proud yet dejected, eager to go yet willing to stay ... 1 have said this be- fore during our commencement exercise at home. The parting was heartbreak- ing, but each of us sticked in our mind our beloved director’s last advice — Walk with faith in your heart.” It won’t be long and 1 would be leaving Baldwinsville. Before that day comes, I would like to take this opportunity to thank the whole community for bringing me here. I know this is not enough to show my gratitude to all of you. It has been a rewarding year for me. I am not to go home empty handed. I will bring home the real picture of America — the warmth, the friendliness, the generosity. In addition to this, the beautiful memories of my stay here. 1 will tell home that once I lived like an American. Someday if God permits, I will be back again to thank you all for your goodness to me. Elbe Buencamino Whenever I think of my summer, many things come to my mind, but some stand out more than other. My first taste of Dutch yogart was surpris- ingly pleasant, my first attempt at spinning wool hilarious, and my first ride on the gigantic Dutch bikes nearly fatal. Gerda, my Dutch sister, had a sailboat, and we spent many happy hours drifting along the canals. The cobbled streets, the ancient windmills, and the twisting canals were beautiful beyond description. Flowers bloomed madly, every- where, even smack in the center of downtown Rotterdam. No matter where 1 looked, Holland was green, fresh, and clean. The teenagers I met were always eager to speak to an American. Gerda and I had many long talks, and I learned a great deal about her coun- try. By the end of the summer 1 found that I also had developed some new ideas about my own country. I hoped that our school will continue to give students the opportunity I had. Linda Scalzo When I first came to Baker High School, 1 was a little bit afraid. Every- thing was so big that I often just couldn’t find my classroom. Besides that I didn’t know what to expect or what the students would be like. Now, after a while living with you, I am glad to say that I am very, very happy here. 1 will never forget Baker High School, its teachers, students and special atmosphere. I really enjoyed getting to know so many nice boys and girls. Especially I liked the History Class. It was wonderful to discuss freely with you problems which concern our two countries. I think I learned very much tluough these talks about your customs and the way you think. Sometimes I felt like an American girl myself. And I hope you will remember me as one of you. I love Germany, but 1 also love the United States of America as my second home. Barbara Thomas
