A SOUTH KOREAN ORPHAN WAS IN THE PICTURE Three hundred Tech girls in 1953-54 were foster parents to Kim Yong Hi, a 6- year-old Korean War orphan. The girls, all in ten government, modern social problems, and history classes, adop- ted Kim. They contributed $15 a month for the year for her support. Kim Yong Hi was one of more than 100,000 war children in Korea separated from parents who were either killed by the enemy or lost in the confusion. The Foster Parent Association described Kim as a pretty child with bobbed raven hair and big black eyes, always bright and cheerful. The foster parents have sent clothing as well as a doll and photograph album for Kim. The sponsors of the adoption project were Miss Mildred Peehl and Mrs. Ethel Byrne. A committee organized to send a Christmas package for Kim. Standing: Barbara Rasmussen, Betty Darmofalski, and Lucy Falusi. Sitting: Yvonne Long, Doris Moore, and Marilyn Plaskett. Page 10
