Saying ‘goodbye” is one part
of *>ny trip to the United States
that I do not like, especially when
I have grown fond of the people
around me and love my American
family
I am looking forward to the bus
trip that’s in store for me, but I
am not as eager to leave. Maybe
some of you will take this as a
compliment, but I mean it — I
don’t want to leave Nyssa!
On Aug. 20 of last year, my
family (Mr. and Mrs. Paul House,
Bonnie and Butch) met me at the
Boise airport. Right there, I knew
they were nice people (and I was
right, too). When we arrived
home. Dad said, “Well, this is our
home — Welcome home.” “Wel
come home”—those were the first
nice words I had heard that eve-
ning, and I felt right at home
with them, too.
Meeting the people of Nyssa
was the next step—I think I did
pretty good on registration day,
thanks to Bonnie’s introductions.
I made friends faster than you
can say “Howdy,” by smiling and
saying “Hi.” By the end of my
first week, I had more than a
handful of friends.

The public institutional property

written for five-year periods with
one-fifth of the policies renewed
each year.
Other Actions Reported
In other action, McPartland re
ported, the G. I. Forum and Siem-
pre Adelante club were granted
permission to rent the old gym
to hold dances for migrant work

sons will begin July 1, continuing
for four weeks at the Ontario
pool.
Original enrollment was 123
students, but due to the cherry
harvest, a number of children
have left the area temporarily, ex
pecting to return and resume
classes.
According to Mrs. Rigney, Nyssa
instructor, 97 students were in at
tendance at yesterday’s sessions.
A much larger enrollment is ex
pected as the migrants return
with their children to Nyssa, Ad
rian, Vale and Ontario areas, from
where the students are transport
ed by bus.
Sessions during the third annual
migrant school begin at 7 a.m. and
dismiss at 12 noon with lunch
in the cafeteria.
Plans are now under way, Mrs.
Rigney stated, for a July 27 fiesta
which will climax activities of
the 1962 school term.
