Drivers' Council: We don't like to discipline students for violation of driving rules, but. . . these words of Roger Brockmeier typify the feelings of the Bellevue Drivers' Council. The thirteen mem- bers, with Mr. Watson as faculty adviser, gathered frequently to hear the cases of driving offenders.

'ii iw MQ 'TARYEL PETER This year Bellevue was especially privileged to have an interchange in its foreign student program. Peter Randlov came to us from Denmark, and Midge Moch went to Denmark. By this exchange Belle- vue received two personal accounts of life in a Scan- dinavian country. Peter came over last fall and stayed with us the whole school year. Not only through offi- cial talks, but also by informal speeches and discussions in class, we learned a great deal about the Danish life and everyday experiences. Peter taught us that the Scandinavian and Ameri- can were closely akin in living habits, however, the Danish do not have the many luxuries we enjoy. By Peter's visit to Belle- vue our lives were deep- ly enriched and our knowl- edge of Denmark and its citizens were infinitely enlarged. Through Midge's visit to Lyngby, Denmark, we learned much more about foreign culture. She re- turned in January, from a semester in school, burst- ing with enthusiasm about the Dane culture and eager to relate her ideas to us. Midge was very impressed by the welfare state of the Danish government. Although their political theories are different, the people were the same as Americans. Their zeal to help and educate Midge in their native customs points up the propinquity of nations throughout the world. Thank you, Midge, for being an excellent exam- ple of an American citizen. God bless you, Peter, we've enioyed your visit and will always remember you. .JW
