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.
Lived With Dead.
The tale begins back in 1914, when
Hanessian was an 11-year-old boy
living in Turkey, the happy son of
q well-to-do bankers 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 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
Caro- Passtermadjian, an Armenian
minister in this country, Hanessian's
life was a struggle for education.
Complicating that struggle, he said,
was the fact that he, as we'll as many
another Armenian boy whose studies
we're interrupted by years CT enforced
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
and women who wished to learn.
Then and there he dedicated a large
part of his life to the interest of the
school,
