very impressed with the people
wtiith whom he is working here.
His greatest impression, however
has been with the “pair of shoes

in his job yet but everyone has
been so kind and helpful to him.
Among the activities in which
he has participated on our cami>-

most impressed by the conduct
and graciousness of the girls and
their abijity to r^edy any situ

the tour and ithe manner of the
girl’s response. The quality of
the singing was excellent with
“outstanding solo work.” He was
amazed at their ability “to
bounce back after being dead
tired” in order to give a good
concert.
He is interesting and very liket-
able, you’ll want to know him.
