X A F S SPONSORS MAURY Maury as she is known to her American friends, is the lovely, red- headed beauty sent to us by the A F S from Montevideo, Uruguay, South America Her country has a comparatively mild climate, but she has en- Joyed frol1ck1ng in the snow of the good old U S. A. She has taken up bowling and is becoming so adept that she 1S threatening to beat us all. She and Lresbeth have a running feud to see who will have the highest score Also in her short stay she has become an active member of the varsity hockey team has helped on the Blue and White as a reporter, and In Uruguay she was working as a student teacher in The British School While 1n the Bainbridge Guilford School system, she observed in our elementary grades and taught several classes. When Maury returns home she plans to finish her education and become a teacher. From Australia comes Susette Lindsey shown here presenting Mrs Niles with a book on Australia as REPRESENTING OUR SCHOOL AT COLGATE QENIOES IN TF-IE NEWS At Boys State we learned how our New York State government func- tions on all the levels including city county and state We held cam- paigns debates delegation conventions, party caucases and elections lnpour debates we discussed such important and controversial issues as re apportionment of New York, and civil rights. Also to help us to better understand our government we had many guest speakers. Some of the more important were such men as Congressman Stratton, Assemblyman Tyler, and the Honorable Boyd Bolder, mayor of Utica. OUR URAGUAYAN Mavourneen Ellis HERE'S TO SUSETTE A graduate of an all-girls' school, Susette welcomed the chance to become better acquainted with American life. She found that our curriculum isn't too different from Austral1a's, but she did discover that life in a pub- lic school is rather different. Susette plans to enter the 'University of Australia to study education. The friendliness and cooperation displayed by Susette during her stay made her a very welcome addi- tion to the school and to the community. She adapted easily to life in a small townfand subsequently worked her way into all our hearts. B-Li was very lucky to have had such a wonderful person and excellent representative from Australia y ., 'F' it Is. -E MKS N-xii -ARM

With great pleasure, I went as a Rotary ' foreign exchange student to represent our Bainbridge Rotary. I lived in a typical southwest sea-coast town with narrow streets and stone buildings. It was in the center of Girvan over a tea room bakery that the Johnstones, my Scotish family, lived. There was never a dull moment, I saw most of Scotland including Glasgow and the capital Edinburgh. I saw many castles and was fortu- nate to see Tony -Lema in the British Open. I was impressed by the great amount of friendliness and hospitality shown by the people of Scotland. Again, many thanks to the Johnstones, the Girvan Rotary Club and the Bainbridge Rotary Club. Norman Booth 89 k , l
