Cfsmet is Our Bi Cheese 9 Ismet Babaoglu-a very special falcon-is our exchange student from Istanbul, Turkey, where he lives with his parents and a younger brother and sister. Coming to live in America for a year is a strange and -lonely experience, yet, has met this opportunity with indomitable cheerfulness and persistence. Many a day he has enlightened the life of a Flora student with his playful antics and jokes. Living with his American family, the C. L. Pilchers, Ismet has absorbed the essence of family life. Many of our slang terms such as 'gcut it outv and big cheesev have become a part of his vo- cabulary. He has eaten French fries, dated only pretty girlsf' and organized a soccer team at Flora. Ismet will take all of this knowledge back to Turkey, and it will help to give his people an in- sight to America, but Ismet leaves behind more than he could ever take away. A gentleman, a comedian, a conscientious stu- dent--all these are Ismet. Number 10 is the leader of the pack . if q e 'zsrr A Ismet has truly adopted to the family life of the C. L. Pilchers and to American environment. The family- Les, Laurie, Mrs. Pilcher, Mr. Pilcher, Tracy, Ismet, and Jane. Arriving in Columbia, Ismet is met at the bus station by Miss Page, Mrs. Pilcher, Les Pilcher, Mary Weston, johnny Linton, and Bud Cousar. A few of the harem listen intently as Ismet charms them with his tales. Qfli Ismet is introduced to typical American food by a trip to McDonalds.
