LAZARUS is a periodical intended to provide students with the opportunity to express their feelings and convictions without fear of censorship or re- prisal. This publication, to be distributed without charge, hopefully will assert student thinking regarding changes in and around the school. The potential exists, the editorial board is anxious. Success depends upon pertinent, thought provoking journalistic contributions from the student body. 117

l l EURCPEAN L'ete dernier, il y avait beaucoup d' eleves qui sont alles en France pour apprendre le francais, vis- iter des monuments pictoresques et s'amuser: Le premier juillet nous sommes partis pour la France avec beaucoup de jeunes gens qui habitent pres d' ici. Nous avons atterri notre avion a Marseille qui se trouve a la Riviera francaise. D'apres, nous avons etudie a I Universite de Montpellier pour trois se- maines. lci nous avons pris quelques cours de la grammaire et de la civilisation. Puis nous avons voyage a Grenoble ou nous nous sommes trouves au Village Olympique au bas des Alpes. En arrivant a la frontiere de la Suisse nous nous sommes in- stalles a Thonon les Bains, une ville tout pres de Geneve. La Suisse est aussi interessante que la France. lci nous avons vu des monuments, des cha- lets et des Alpes-quelle vue magnifique-et c'est a Geneve que nous avons achete des montres ele- gantes. En arrivant a Paris pour les huit derniers jours, nous etions anxieux de voir tout. Le tour Eif- fel, l'Arcde Triomphe, l'Avenue Champs-Elysees, Le Pantheon, Montmarte et des artistes, des cafes ele- gants, les boutiques, Notre Dame de Paris, Sacre Coeur., les promenades en bateau sur la Seine, les lnvalides, les parcs formidables, out ceci et de plus nous ont enchante dans la ville lumineuse, Paris. Les gens de la France et de la Suisse sont tres aimables et nous avons trouve qu' ils sont presque comme nous-il ont de memes problemes et de meme interet pour le pays. Ce que nous avons aime le plus etaent les belies montagnes, surtout Mont Blanc, les grottes de glacier, le grand Tour de France, la Riviera et ses plages d' or et surtout les soirees de fondue avec le vin francais! En partant de la France, tout le monde etait d'accord que c' etait un bon tour et nous avons re- pete sincerement Vive la France. D'apres Deborah Norman et Charmaine Stather TOUR Last summer, a group of local students went to France, to study French, visit its picturesque sights and simply have a good time. Here's what hap- pened: We left for France with many young stu- dents who live in the area. We landed in Marseitle, France, which is located on the French Riviera. For three weeks, we studied at the University of Mon- tpellier, where we took courses in grammar and civ- ilization. Then we travelled to Grenoble, where we stayed at the Olympic Village, located at the foot of the Alps. Later, arriving at the Swiss border, we stayed at a boarding school at Thomon les Bains, this city is quite close to Geneva. Switzerland is as interesting as France. In Geneva we saw several J. Gasiorowski, D. Norman, G. Janicki, Mrs. B. Grabiec, C. Sta- ther. Also on tour were: J. Ober, K. Drew, G. Woolrich, K. Rozek. monuments, chalets and the Alps-what a magnifi- cent sight-and it was in this city that we purchased several elegant watches. Arriving in Paris for the last eight days of our trip, we were anxious to see everything. The Eiffel Tower, the Arc of Triumph, the Champs-Elisees, the Pantheon, Montmartre and the artist quarter, the lovely cafes, the boutiques, the cathedrals of Notre Dame and Sacre Cour, boat rides on the Seine River, the lnvalides, the beautiful parks-all this and much more enchanted us in the city of light, Paris. The French and Swiss are very kind people and we found them just like us in many respects-they have similar problems and similar concern for their country. The things we loved es- pecially included the lovely mountains and its high peak, Mont Blanc, the glacial caverns, the bicycle race called Le tour de France, the Riviera and its golden beaches, and great French fondue parties which include much French wine! Upon leaving France everyone agreed that this was a very good tour and very sincerely we did say. Vive le France!
