YOUTH FOR UNDERSTANDING Student Exchange Program Another first at Marysville High in the 1963-1964 school year, our first foreign student. The purpose of the Youth for Understanding, Teen-Age Ex- change Program is to acquaint international teenage students with American family and community life; to give them first hand knowledge of the philosophy and operation of American schools and community organizations and the places they hold in a democracy. Our own Barb Butler visited Germany for about two months during the summer of ’63. She stayed with a German family, Mr. and Mrs. Karl Suhren, who lived about one mile from the North Sea. During her stay Barb was able to visit the German schools, and to enjoy many of the sights of the towns in Ger- many, Holland, and Ireland. At an all school assembly, Bar- bara showed slides and told of her wonderful experiences as an exchange visitor. Her comment on Germany, “A land of wonderful old customs; quaint old towns, new ideas, and wonderful people.” Brigitte Feldon, youngest of three children of Mr. and Mrs. Anton Feldon of Aachen, Germany, was enrolled at M.H.S. last fall. Her American parents are Mr. and Mrs. J. F. Thompson, Connecticut Avenue, Marysville. Mary Thompson, class of ’64, Brigitte’s American sister, has helped her a great deal in making the many adjustments required of an exchange student. Brigitte s educational plans call for a teaching carrer in home economics. She is very fond of music and played violon- cello in her school and city orchestra. Her comment to the students of Marysville High, “My prin- ciple: life, the world lies at your feet. Take it. I took this year, thankful to all who contributed, open-minded. I found it wonderful.” The yearbook staff wishes Brigitte well, and certainly feels M.H.S. has been richer for her having been with us. Brigitte Feldon Barbara Butler
