Seated — Kristin Knipfer, Munich, Germany. Strid- ing — Jayne Alexander, her American sister. American Field Service VVTHEN I heard I was coming to your country, I was filled with excitement and curiosity about American life. At my school in Munich, the Hollywood interpretation of America is well known to the students, who think all Americans are alike. I came with the intention of forgetting all my previous knowledge of the U.S.A. and of discovering it for myself. At first I only looked and listened until I started to feel a part of the new surroundings. I was eager to learn first-hand of many different aspects of your life — of your customs, ideals, interests, and prob- lems. Through the purpose of AFS, so well ex- pressed in the phrase, An open door to under- standing and friendship, my wishes were granted. Passing through this door has been for me a most significant experience in my life. AFS is a two-way program of giving and receiv- ing. The friendly relations among AFS students — Brazilian, Turkish, African or German — gave me the feeling of belonging to a large international family. Every member of this family gained for his lifetime a sense of good understanding and co- operation. It has been a pleasure to know and meet you all and to find out that nationality makes only a few diflferences among us. Looking backward on my year in the U.S.A., I see myself as a traveller on a road — a road with many intersections. As I return to Germany, this road will become a memory filled with gratitude for Dwight and the opportunities it offered me. 72

Yearbook Within our ranks confusion and collusion reigned Month, week, and day. And many losses, losers, late ones we sustained Were yet to pay. And ever on to higher hopes and highest heights. With toil abounding, We drugged, and drudged, and dragged ourselves through days and nights With force astounding. The ads so calmly collectively collected And patron ' s aid. With little lingering larceny suspected Our bills were paid. Now every fragment finally finished finely. With sweat and tears. Contrasted, compromised, and composed divinely, Our work appears.
