LETTER OF RESIGNATION To all members of this institution of education, Frankfurt American High School:
    With deep regret I write this letter of resignation to everyone, I love this school, and am deeply attached to the people here. I feel my stay here has been the most formative time of my life, and I have gained many important experiences that have added to my outlook on this, the world we live in.
    I am going to the University of Maryland, in Munich, the second semester of this school year, I therefore feel it is fair to my successor to resign now and not when all the organizational objectives have been reached. I am putting myself at the disposal of the Senior Class whenever they need me for a purpose with which I can be of help.
    A point I would like to bring up at this opportunity, is the fact that although many people give hell when they want something done, those are the ones who don't offer any help, advice, suggestions or ideas. All of the aforementioned are things with which the Senior Class Government is a tool for. We are just a tool. In other words, nothing can be done unless there is a true effort on the part of the average student. I have tried and succeeded to this point in gaining interest in the cause everyone should be interested in.
    I would like to compliment and chastise, in that order, the Senior Class this year. I see a great improvement in people's attitudes towards those things that are becoming increasingly important to all of us. The Class of 78 is undoubtedly the best that has been here in a long while because we are all beautiful, good, healthy, and intelligent. And these are the true qualities which will decide how the world tomorrow will be as compared to today. You and I are tomorrow.
    I find fault with several things, though, that I feel should be mentioned. The most important being that the people here are starting a trend that is beginning to dehumanize the entire structure of the community and even society. Another disappointing fact is that the academic part of school is constantly being forgotten or overlooked. Our school is here for us, and you and I alike need this school, since we must educate ourselves to compete in the "Great Rat Race" of the world. Believe me, this is the most important thing in life today.
    I would like to close this letter with a heartfelt thank you to all the beautiful people around me that have made my stay at FAHS an experience I shall surely never forget. I wish to personally thank those teachers and administrators who helped me when I needed help and those fellow students who morally (and sometimes physically) helped me stand on my own two feet to see the world in its right perspective.

May your god bless you.

I love the hell out of everyone of you.
