Because of the great interest shown by many students, other plans were made for different activities as well. With most of the members of this year's club returning next year, the French Club should be in existence for many years to come.

hi-K Kumburgaz, a small town in the rural area where her Turkish family had a summer home. In Kumburgaz Collette spent much of her time swimming, sitting in the sun, and going to the Tea Gardens. The Tea Gardens was the one place she could go to play cards, watch television. and just talk without a chaperon. The social structure of Turkey is different than that of the United States. ln Turkey the girls were not allowed to go out with a boy unless her father knew the boy's father. Collette did not go anywhere. except to the Tea Gardens, without her Turkish father in attendance. When asked if she minded having a chaperon she replied, sometimes, but I wanted to do things the way they did. She tried to learn as much as possible about the Turkish culture. By the end of the summer she did know the culture. The people she lived with. although very conservative, were extremely kind and friendly toward her. The country was beautiful. She felt the only problem in Istanbul, Turkey was the part of the world in which Collette Stannard spent the summer of 1975. She was an American Field Service student, which meant that she was able to live abroad for two and a half months. The contrast between the old and new was one of Turkey's most Quahtles Appealing for Collette. On one street you can see both cars and horse drawn carriages. she explained. The city seemed a mixture of modern and a time-tested culture. The morals, buildings, means of transportation. and the people themselves reflect the fusion of these two differences. During the summer, Collette saw nearly all of Turkey. She traveled to many large cities, such as Bursa. She also went to Turkey was that more people did not know the beauties of the country.
