Signs, TV are navel in them Hely, Klaus and Tom all received class rings as gifts from Cicerone Club. Klaus loved his so much he kept slipping it on and off until he found his finger had swollen so badly that he could not get his ring off. A little cold water and soap remedied this and cured him of the habit. All three liked the school and were impressed by it, especially the gymnasium. They were surprised at first by the friendly atmosphere, not only among students but also between teachers and students. The easy in- formality amazed them because they were used to the more formal European schools. Food, too, is different, they agree. But all, especially Klaus, are fond of hot dogs and malteds. We never have so much snow in Portugal, exclaimed Tommy. The Winter Wonderland scenes were something of a new experience for him, though not for Hely and Klaus. l like everything but the shoveling part, admits Tom. All three unanimously agreed that they like best of all the friendliness of the Birmingham students. Punch Le Nlessurier and Pat Berry display the cheery smiles and quick Hi, therel that express the spirit of Maple hospitality. Commenting on Birmingham fashions, Hely exclaimed, I never saw so many Bermuda shortsl She likes them, though, has some of her own, and plans to take a pair home for her nine - year - old sister. linda Burkman, Jane Cunningham and Karen Wilson typify the Birmingham look in Bermudas as they enioy a chat with Dave Randolph.

First impressions are not always accurate, but they are always interesting and often lasting. Our own mem- bers of the United Nations noticed many things different from their own countries. Hely was at first amazed at the highways that cut through the cities, and at the neon lights that gaudily decorated the streets, sometimes with Eat at Joe's . Drive - in restaurants fascinated her. Tom's surprising introduction to American English was the greeting he received from his American brother at the bus station in Detroit: What say, Man, what say? Says Tom, My answer was not what l'd say now. lt was l BEG your pardon! All of our exchange students asked for pictures of the high school to take back with them to their homes to show parents and friends. I want my family to see my beautiful home , said Klaus. Tommy was amazed to see the thousands of STOP signs that adorn street corners in American towns. ln Portugal policemen guard busy intersections. Motorists watch out for themselves at other corners. Tom and Ed Estes hope someone will STOP and give them a ride home. Television sets in every size and price range, in black and white and color, were among things Hely, Tom and Klaus had to get used to. Anxiously awaiting another cowboy show, Elsbeth Sweeney, Tarbaby and Fritz von Rosen are typical of the thousands of Americans who glue themselves to TV sets during favorite program hours. First impressinns are always interesting
