June, 1971 , Here there, and everywhere Dear Friends, ' Yes, soon it will be time to return to my home in Turkey. These words seem strange to me, because I have come to think of my home as Livingston, my fam- ily as the Pernas, and my friends as all of you. After I am gone, perhaps you will find some of my belongings I may have left behind - a sneaker in the gym, a book, perhaps a love letter. What you will not see is the most valuable thing I will have left behind e a part ofmy heart, a part of me. Many new things will be returning with me to Turkey, all the memories I have gained throughout a year of new and beautiful experiences. I still remember when I entered my homeroom for the first time, the first day of the school year. Everything seemed so different from what I was accustomed to and from what I had expected. I didnit know how many friendly students and teachers would offer me their time, assistance and often lasting friendship. Be- fore long, I could not understand how the periods could pass so quickly. Even now, I can't believe the school year is coming to an end already. Bells are always ringing in L.H.S., and each time it means something differ- ent. I have often wished the bells would never ring, and sometimes they never rang soon enough. Sometimes it meant going home and doing homework in order to watch the hockey games at night, and sometimes it meant school was about to begin. On Fridays, the bells meant going home to relax with the music of George Harrison. Of course, I'll never forget the jokes about camels and hashish e or the good times at parties or the cheerleaders shouting Lancers! Attending school in Livingston was a very educational experience, not only because of the differences in cultures and teaching methods, but because of the completely different system of attending classes. I liked being able to change classrooms each period and being with different people every period, which I did not do in Turkey. I had many great times in gym class also, thanks to the Coach! There are so many little things from all my classes, and little things done by all the people I have met that I will never forget. I will always remember all the excitement of the bells ringing to let us out for vacation, the tensions of taking tests, the pride of representing my country and of attending Livingston High School, and the sadness I am feeling now that I am leaving you. I guess all dreams must come to an end sometime. I would like to express my deepest gratitude to all the people - students and faculty - who have helped to make this year the most beautiful and profitable experience of my life. I will never forget all you have done for me. When this year becomes only the memory ofa dream, it will be you I thank, for having made that dream beautiful. Eyvallah, Serdar Turet - Istanbul A.F.S.
