OUR FOREIGN STUDENTS BECOME HAMERICANIZEDN JAN WESTRA Now when the year here has almost ended, I remember how I wondered about America be- fore I left. I heard many opinions about American life and was eager to see how it was in reality. Although my stay only lasted one school year, I have formed a pretty good idea of the way people live in the new world. I think I have met the motto of the A.F.S. to talk and walk with people, although I defin- itely have done more talking than walking. It will take sometime before I can look back to this land of vastness and realize how great it was, and how it will affect my future. I have met lots of people, shaken all kinds of hands, and ridden in numerous cars. Fortun- ately, I have the opportunity to give speeches and show my slides, so that if you come to the gate- way of Europe you will be prepared. When I leave I will take back my memories of a wonderful family, a cool school, and loads of friendly and interesting people. Many of you told me that you will visit Europe someday and I am very sincere when I invite you all to visit me in I-Iollanol, lThat is if you all don't come at the same timell Lots of luck to all and keep smiling, Jan Westra I2 YOKO TAMURA I was born on the II of January, I948 in Nagoya-City, Japan. My father has his own school and has been teaching English for more than twenty years. I-Ie is also an interpreter. My mother is a house-wife. I have one younger brother and one younger sister. I enioy many things, singing, listening to music, arranging flowers, skiing, and volley- ball. I also hope to travel around the world in the future. In i964 I was interested in going abroad to America. I had always wanted to come. I found an address of the Bremerton newspaper and asked for a family to stay with. The Red Cross got me an address and I got a lucky letter from an American family. I left for A- merica on the 26th of August in I964. I think that Bremerton and West I-Iigh are very nice, and people, kids and students are very friendly. I am enjoying so many things and think that I am a very lucky girl. I like quiet places like Bremerton, because I used to live in a big and busy town. After graduation I plan to go to Olympic College. I now live with the Doctor James Carter family. Yoko Tamura
