Melba had visitors today from the Kanagawa Prefectural Yokohama Senior High School of International Studies. Yokohama is just up the road from us, halfway to Tokyo. Two faculty members from the school accompanied seven young ladies and a gentleman to the library at Sullivans Elementary School. They came at the invitation of the school counselor, Mr. Potson. Melba was very impressed with the students' maturity and their command of English. Communication was no problem, and they're sharp dressers, too. Their sponsors said that the students were seniors and that they had been hand-picked to make the trip. Before coming to the library they stopped to visit with some of the first grade classes on campus. There are ten of them. Later, they lunched at one of the fast-food joints on base. They chose pizza; no surprise.
