Soheila Shokuri at year 4 of Parvin high school. In 1957, Soheila from Tehran accompanied her brother to Bam. Her arrival at the city stirred an uproar as she was a liberated girl who walked on the streets unveiled, approached jigolo boys who lurked around girls high school and we, the small town girls wouldn't even dare to look at them. She spoke of boyfriends and gave boys whom she fancied rippened, red apples with love messages carved on them. Bam's apples in late spring were famous for their scent and sweet taste. Soheila was friendly, passionate and a new breeze to Bam's old traditional atmosphere.
