Aiako Offers Friendship Aiako helped the Student Council collect bottles which will help support next year's AFS student. Aiako Motoie, who came to KCHS from Sao Paulo, Brazil, under the American Field Service foreign exchange program, immediately became a friend to everyone. She lived with Mr. and Mrs. James O'Neal and their daughter, Suzie. Aiako was a member of Pep Club and GAA and was elected to the office of County Assessor on County Government Day. She played the part of a puppet in the One Acts and was one of the assistant directors of the Senior Class Play. Aiako summarized her feelings about her days in the United States with the following words: Kimball will always be to me a place where 1 started the year that would bring to me fun. joy, and most of all responsibility. 1 had the pleasure of working hard to learn all I can about the family life, school, people, country—or saying it in a word, about the United States— also, to tell about my own country, Brazil, and try to create a better understanding between them. I can not tell the delightful people of Kimball how endearing this year's lovely and unforgettable memories are to me. My heart will always be warm with the love you gave so generously. Aiako added glamour to the Homecoming Dance. Studies, also, came with the many activities during Aiako’s days at KCHS. The Pep Club meetings in Study Hall held Aiako’s interest. 21

Dennis Visits Turkey Dennis has many memories of Turkey. June 14, 1962, was a red-letter day in the life of Dennis Haines, the KCHS American Field Service exchange student. On this day, he boarded a plane in Denver, Colorado, for his trip to Montreal, Canada, the first step on his way to Edirne, Turkey, where he was to spend the rest of the summer. After an overnight stay in Montreal, Dennis and the other AFS students, bound for various parts of Europe, boarded the MV Seven Seas for their fascinating ocean crossing. The ten days aboard the ship were spent attending language and orientation classes. When the ship docked at Rotterdam, Dennis departed from his AFS friends and boarded a plane bound for Istanbul, Turkey, wherehe met his Turkish family, Mr. and Mrs. Omer Omur and children. The summer was spent attending scout camp and visiting beautiful Mosques, ancient ruins and various other points of interest. During the last nine days that Dennis remained in Turkey, he and the other exchange students in Turkey visited the capital, Ankara, and various other important cities in the land. With mixed feelings of sorrow and happiness the students from all parts of Europe once again gathered at Rotterdam for their return trip to the United States. Along with their souvenirs, they brought back memories of a full and happy summer. 22
