STUDENTS iWALTHAM STUDENTS IN EUROPE One of our i957 American Field Service Exchange Students, Bill Meserve, spent the summer in Athens, Greece. After sailing from Montreal on June 22, Bill arrived in Rotterdam, Holland. A two-day train ride took him through Holland, Switzerland, Germany, and Italy with stops at Milan and Venice. He sailed from Venice on July 4th and arrived in Piroeur, Greece, three days later. Bill was warmly welcomed by his family, Mr. and Mrs. Christos Nicolopoulos, their son, John, their daugh- ter Hihi, and their maid Touls. After a very enjoyable summer during which he learned many of the Greek customs and much of the Greek culture, Bill returned to the United States by way of Paris, France, and Keflavik, Iceland. Having been thoroughly indoctrinated with the Greek customs and habits and greatly impressed with the Greek people, Bill declared, l will'always be an American first, but a Greek second. Visiting France from VV.H.S. was Arnold Rosenfeld, our second A.F.S. Summer Exchange Student. Arnie accompanied, Bill to Rotterdam, where he boarded a train for Paris. Mr. and Mrs. Louis Marin and their five children, Bernoit, Olivier, Elizabeth, Manuel, and Anne welcomed Arnie and escorted him to their farm which was to be his home for the summer. During Arnie's enlightening and enjoyable summer he toured through Le Mans, Blois, and Laval, ending his iourney in Paris where he and the other American exchange students stayed at Cite Universitaire and visited the renowned Parisian sites. Arriving at Rotterdam on August Sl, he set out for home with his companions on the TXS Arosa Kulm. Arnie feels that one has to live with the French people in order to understand and appreciate their feelings. - SUMMER OF 7957- WILLIAM MESERVE ARNOLD ROSENFELD
