Thoughts of what the following day would bring were vivid in our minds. For all of us who passed through the doors of Roosevelt for the first time, there was a strange feeling of bewilderment and excitement. None of us knew exactly what to expect, but we all wanted to meet others who felt the same way. Our third term at Roosevelt was the scene of many events. Our little adopted boy, Jai-Sun Kim, whom we got through the Save the Children Federation, wrote to us from his home in Seoul, Korea. New faces ap- peared at home, too.

From this show, we were aware of the many activities we could take part in during our days at Roosevelt. We all eagerly awaited the beginning of Christmas vacation. lt gave us a chance to rest after completing mid-term exams. We sophomores were comforted when we realized what a wonderful school Roosevelt is and how much we would enioy our stay. Charlotte Fischer and Renee Schecter T 5 C17 f , glJ?'D'Jll
