Coming all the way from Edinburgh, Scotland, Miss Johnson taught English and assisted as dramatics coach and sponsor of the A. D. C.-Eellowship Production. Meanwhile, Miss Garst taught a group of junior high school students in the Elora Stevenson School in Edinburgh. Both teachers have enjoyed their experience and Miss Garst feels that the exchange is providing opportunities for representatives from each of the English speaking countries to become better ac- quainted. Not only have I enjoyed the teaching part of my Exchange year, but in addition 1 have welcomed the many opportunities for travel, points out Miss Johnson. They agree that this year of exchange teaching has truly been an enjoyable and satisfying experience. 20
