Alien Students’ THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C. Bazaar International Sale to Include Costumed Dolls and Needlework. Tenth and H streets, is & bee- | hive of activity these days as foreign-born students prepare their contributions for the annual interna- tional bazaar sponsored by the Ameri- canization Society Association. The bazaar is to be held from 10 am. to 10 p.m., on December 7 and 8, | and. as on seven previous occasions, | articles for sale will include dozens of dolls, dressed in authentic foreign costumes, while entertainment fea- tures will include attractive young women from many countries in their native dress. There will be fine needlework contributed by Washing- ton friends of the school, as well as its students, and an abundance of practical gifts, such as aprons and children’s dresses, many of these made also by the women in the school. Luncheon and dinner served each day of the bazaar will include foreign dishes. Proceeds for Welfare. Proceeds from the sales will be used by the association for its welfare | work, much of it going to provide Christmas baskets for alien families | in the District ineligible for relief from other agencies. Altogether it will be a bright Christmas picture with happy Christ- mas endings for many. And prob- | ably no one at all will dwell upen a tragic incident long years ago which, | indirectly, led to the organization of the association sponsoring the bazaar. | The story is the story of Souren Henessian, an Armenian by birth, who in 1921 joined the Americanization School and shortly thereafter con- | ceived the idea of an association which would function in connection with the school to provide social and welfare activities for its students. HE Americanization School in | | the old Webster Building, at | Lived With Dead. The tale begins back in 1914, when Hanessian was an 1l-year-old boy | living in Turkey, the happy son of a well-to-do banker's family. | Souren was happy, until suddenly the old animosity between the Turks and Armenians rose up again and he saw his entire family and hundreds of friends killed in a general massacre. For several days, Hanessian recalled yesterday, he lived among the dead— one of three persons to survive—be- | fore he escaped to an American or- phanage. From that time until 1921, when he chose to join his uncle Dr. Armen | Garo Passtermadjian, an Armenian | minister in this country, Hanessian's | life was a struggle for educatiol Complicating that struggle, he said, | was the fact that he, as well as many another Armenian boy whose studies were interupted by years o :nforcedl idleness, often found himself in classes with students much younger | than he. Out of this experience grew an interest in adult education. | ‘When he had come to Washington and enrolled in the Americanlization School here he was delighted with | the opportunities it afforded for men | end women who wished to learn. ‘Then and there he dedicated a large part of his life to the interest of the | school. Given Chance to Contribute. Members of the Americanization School Association credit Hanessian | with the conception of the idea re- | McCoy of the District Supreme Court, he organized the association which | | has sponsored many extra curricula | activities for the school as well as welfare work. Today he is vice presi- | dent and business manager. Next week's bazaar carries out in many ways the aims of the associa- ; It provides wholesome contact | tion. between native Americans and alien residents, for, in addition to members of the association, a number of wom- en's clubs co-operate toward its suc- cess. It gives members of the school an opportunity to share their native art with Washingtonians. And its funds are used to benefit foreign-born citizens who have not yet made eco- nomic adjustment to their life in & strange country. Irena Anna Chodaniewicz of Poland and Rosario Tosta of Honduras, in native costume, displhy some of the foreign dolls to be sold at the interna- tional bazaar of the Amer- icanization School Association scheduled for December 7 and 8 in the Webster Building (Star Staff Photo).

The | young student, appreciative though he was of the academic advantages of the institution, felt that its work should go further. Foreign men and women, anxious to become good eiti- zens, he reasoned, should be assisted | in adjusting themselves socially to a new environment and, further, should | be given a chance to contribute tb as well as receive from the community | in which they expected to live.
