Mr, Kuhn and Mr. Seltzer, slide rule in hand, managed to pack our luggage in their cars and Sunday afternoon we journeyed to Em- porium, a friendly town nestled among golden autumn hills, This was once again to be our only quiet evening, Monday we attended classes at Cameron County High School which we found to be every bit as good as ours if not a little more luxurious, At assembly, held in our honour, we were overwhelmed at the respect given to the seniors ftwelfth gradej and later astonished at the respect not given to their teachers, This was probably one of the most noticeable dif- ferences., We also found a more casual atmosphere and yet all students there will likely get their graduation diploma and go on to collegeg it is ex- pected of them? Tuesday we w were entertained at a Rotary Dinner where we were proud to have Mr, Seltzer speak as a true Canadian Ambassador that he was. Following this a Rotary member took us on a tour of the surround- ing country side, This we enjoyed, Since the local bowling alley HO pinj had offered us free hospitality you may be sure that we bowled often this and other evenings, Wednesday we toured the huge Sylvania plant and leter were interviewed on the Emporium radio station QWLENID, This too was certain- ly an experience to remember, After visiting Cameron Manufacturing and Emporium Specialties, two prosperous industries, we drove to Olean, New York, where we shopped , and shopped, and shopped and shopped? On one of the most beautiful autumn days that l have ever known we drove to Corning, N, Y,, where we roamed through the Steuben glass factory and museum, Truly this was a highlight of our trip., After catching up on a little sleep Saturday morning, we helped to cheer the Cameron County I-ligh School Raiders ffootball teamj to victory over the league leading team in Sheffield, Pa, Saturday evening we were given a farewell party and al- though we enjoyed it I think everyone felt just a little twinge of sadness as they remembered that this was the end of such a happy exchange, Thank you Rotary, Linda Patterson 13B

Rotary Foundation Scholarshlp on which she studl ed in Belgium. The lnter-County Track and Field Meet on Wednesday gave our visitors an excellent impression of Canada and here they didnt hes1tate to boost Orangeville, saying that it was certainly the best school competing This evening we invaded the Seltzerls home and somettmes wonder gf they wished they hadn't invited eight such hungry and talkatlve young people tor dinner, Qwhich we enjoyed immensely between discusstons andfor arguf: mentsl. Thursday the Emporium exchange students toured O A C. and Macdonald Institute and again by all reports were quite :mpressed Muskoka here we come?

A WEEKEND IN ROCHESTER On Friday noon, October 20, the eight girls of the Cai-Y eteria left for a weekend in Rochester, New York, ln Miss McPhedran's car there were, Pat McMillan, Sylvia Stubbs, Jean Aikens, Donna Cole- man and Betty Cline. Mrs, LePage took Lois Henry, Jennie Poortinga, Donna Chambers and Connie Smith to Cooksville where we met Mr Cline The weather was perfect -1- bright skies and warm days Autumn was out in its full colour, When we crossed the border at Louis- ton we entered the fruit district of New York State., Everywhere along the highway we saw pumpkins, in fields, on stands, on front lawns Af nother thing that seemed strange was the scarcity of brick houses The homes, town and farm alike, were all frame. Miss McPhedran succeeded in beating Mr, Cline, much to his surprise, land to her delightj to the border at Louiston, lmagine waiting on the bridge for Mr, Clinel However, we did make good tune and were able to check in at the Y, W, C, A, about sixb-thirty tn the even- ing. After supper and a show we were all ready to goto bed early., Saturday was a day of shopping It you can imagine eight girls foot-loose in huge department stores, then you can lniagine the diss coveries that were made, and the loot that was brought home Saturday evening, off to another show, Oh? but the evening wasn't over yet There was bowling and afterwards a party in Phedy's roonq it was very huni- erous to see us bowling ten pins when some of us had never bowled before Why didn't you tell me, youlre supposed to let go when you throw the ball ? It was even tricky for those of us who had bowled five pin, Sunday morning we checked out early, Mass McPhedran's group went to church, while Mr., Clinels party went to Medina for dinner at the home of his sistermin-law., We met at the border again and from there each group went its own way, Mr, Cline's group saw a ship go through the Welland Canal, It was amazing to see a boat above you and then in about eight minutes, below you, We arrived home early Sunday evening. I know I speak for the whole group when l say we thorough ly enjoyed our weekend, We are indeed grateful to those who made it possible. Connie Whistance Snizth lZB
