I live way, way up here, says Anne Holme, our exchange student from Norway. Travelers Anne Holme, our teenage diplomat, has brought a bit of Norway to East Rochester this year. Anne quickly adapted to our way of school life with her pleasant smile and her friendly personality. As a senior this year, Anne carried tive subjects. In Norway, she had been accustomed to ten. She was a mem- ber of the stage crew, participated in girl's sports, was vice- president of the French club, and a member of the Am- bassador staff. It was fun having Anne with us this year and we hope she will always remember us as her friends. Another well-traveled person at E.R.H.S. is one of our teachers, Miss Bertha Bourne. Miss Bourne toured most of Europe last summer, visiting the countries of Eng- land, Holland, Switzerland, Belgium, Germany, Italy, and France. She also visited the Blue Grotto on the Isle of Capri. Miss Bourne returned more thoroughly aware of how fortunate we are to be AMERICANS. Last summer, Nancy Kutowicz and Katrinka Allen were privileged to go to Europe as Teen-Age Diplomats under the auspices of the American Field Service. Nancy had the opportunity to tour most of Finland and Lapland. While in Finland, Nancy stayed with two different fam- ilies. Tinker stayed with a family in Dortmund, Ger- many. She toured Germany, taking in many spots of interest. Nancy and Tinker brought back many interesting stories of the customs in these two countries and their experience is one they will always remember. Souvenirs seem to be the topic of conversation of our European wander- ers, Nancy Kotowicz, Ka- trinka Allen, Anne Holme and Miss Bourne.
