The McHenry chapter of the American Field Service originally set forth an evaluation of the '70-71 year through personal interviews with the three students from different parts of the world who lived in McHenry under the program. Before they left last Sunday for their native countries, the chapter decided, instead, to ask each to put into his own words impressions of the past ten months. "It is not easy to meet everyone of which I have known in this city and even those I have known only by sight. So, I would like to take this opportunity and jot down this farewell note to each McHenry resident and thank you for having me in your school and community too. I have had a good time with all of you and I would like to put forward that you stay as kind as you have been. Good luck! "Manasseh Gasana "AFS '70-'71 ~ Uganda Africa" much I did earn in coming to this country as an educational experience. "Before coming here, I promised to my family in Chile and to myself to do the best I could and I think I did. "All my life I will be grateful to AFS chaptSf of McHenry who give me this opportunity to see what this country is really like and I say now that it is a great country. "I give especially thanks to my family, Mom and Dad (Mr. and Mrs. Jerry Rogers) and also to my brothers who did a lot for me. I will always remember and appreciate my family and AFS chapter for what they done for me. "I wish to thank all the people of McHenry who was so friendly with me, especially to all people of AFS chapter in whatever they plan I wish them happiness and success. "With best wishes to all for your future and success and happiness.

I am leaving for the bus trip through <other parts of this country. Maybe it is a little early to evaluate this year because I don't have the nec­ essary distance yet, but I know today already that my stay here in McHenry has had a great influence on my per­ sonality. I feel more grown up. I learned from books about a country and her problems. But my greatest teacher was life. Life taught me many things and it is often hard to put into words what I really learned. Tolerance and humanity are the greatest qualities I have acquired. All my doings in the future shall be directed by these high qualities. "This year over here taught me also that I do not know my own country. Now - although it is hard to leave a place that is my second home ~ I am anxious to go back and find out more about the country of my birth. I am sure that I can apply things there that I learned here. "For the many things I received here and that helped to make this year what it has been, I would like to thank everybody; the community as a whole, the high school and the teachers, the AFS chapter, the press and all the other friendly people. A very special "thank you" goes to my family whose part in making this year as successful as it has been is probably the biggest.

However, he added that application must be made by July 12 or the priority will be transferred to two other junior colleges. The preference extended to the local college would assure state assistance in providing a permanent structure. Dr. Davis also announced that the previous projection of 2,270 students in the college by 1978 has been revised down­ ward from the time of the announcement in 1967.
