MISS TURID THOMASSEN OUR EXCHANGE STUDENT This is the first year that Vestal has participated in the American Field Service program. It is through this organization that Turid Thomassen of Norway came to Vestal for a year. We awaited the arrival of our first exchange student with anxiety and were delighted with Turid when we met her. Many of us have a warm spot in our hearts for you, Turid, because of your sincere friendship and engaging personality. We all hope to meet you again sometime and that you will think of us often. We will not forget our wonderful classmate from Norway. Class of 1960

F OREWORD What's a Nebbish? He is, as his Hebrew name implies, a lost soul. He is a nomad in society, unable to comprehend many of our problems- as well as his own-and always finds himself in embarrassing predicaments. You can't miss the Nebbishg he's everywhere. He may be looking for his lost wallet, putting his socks on inside out, knocking someone over, or spilling ink on himself. In school he becomes the best of procrastinators, the just a minute type of person. Although he has little personality of his own, he is a part of yoursg never to be outgrown, forgotten, or brushed off, Actually he personifies the emotions and ideas of today's high school stu- dent, is why we have chosen this distinctive, novel, and new- fangled character for our Den. 4 .
