GERHARD WUTTKE HELLO, you are the German Exchange Student. I have heard about you... Many people in and around Medford told me this when they first met me. But I think that many of you have not heard about my family, my school, my life in Germany, or the reason why I am spending this year in Medford with you. Therefore, I shall try to tell you a little more in this short report. First, about my family: Both of my parents came from Bavarian farms, but now our family lives in town. My fa- ther is 54 years old and works for the railroad in a distribution office. My mother is 50 years old and works only for the family. I have one married brother, who sells insurance; and a ten-year old sister who is in elementary school. We live on the Danube River in an apartment house in the suburban settlement of Regensburg, an old, large city of 129, 000 in- habitants. Because our city is so crowded, the whole family likes to spend many weekends on my uncle's farm south of our town. Since our city is surrounded by large forests, wide rivers, and small mountains, we have many opportunities to relax on walks in the woods around the town. In summer we enjoy swimming in the Danube or picnicing on its banks or in the near-by forests. In Germany, our high schools are called Gymnasiums. In fact it is high school and junior college combined; there- fore after our 4 years in elementary school we go 9 years to Gymnasium. I am in a Real-Gymnasium with 950 students and last year I had to take 15 subjects; most of these classes met only once or twice a week. I hope to enter our brand new university in three years and become an agricultural engineer or a teacher. I am very proud to have been a boy scout for ten years; I am also a Malteser , this is an organization in Germany (similar to your Red Cross) that helps injured people, usually those who are injured in car accidents. I spend many week- ends or vacations with these organizations on camping trips or in other activities. One of the reasons for my wanting to spend a school year in America was that I might help in some way to bring about a better understanding between the young people of the world-.and, help to prove that these young people can live together in peace and can learn much from one another. The American Field Service, the organization that sponsored my trip, made it possible for 3,300 students from all over the world, from all European countries, from Asia to Africa, and from Australia to South America, to spend this school year in the United States. In this year with you I hope I have revealed to you as much as I possibly could about Germany; and I know through you, I have a much broader understanding of your United States. At this time I would like to thank everyone very much for making my visit possible, and I appreciate the warm re- ception that I have received. Finally, I wish that every boy and girl in Medford and in the whole world could go to other countries to learn about them and to bring understanding throughout the world--to live together in peace.
