AMERIKAN KIZ KOLEJI
I must close the Turkey story with more about Verna's experience with the AMERIKAN KIZ KOLEJI. My job always kept me busy and for Verna to be able to find something she liked to do was a special bonus. The school staff became our family and the school our home.
The American Girls School, a prestigious school, of such standing that Turkish parents would pull all the strings they could to enroll their girls. There would be 500 applicants each year for 100 openings. They were chosen by lot. In 1956 the school needed an English teacher and it didn't take Linda Blake, the principal, long to get Verna's teaching credentials approved by the Turkish Government.
Verna's class of Turkish girls who would stand when she entered the class room.
