.ydif CLCMA FRAULEIN ANTONIE ROTTGERMANN Munster, Germany Through the Fulbright Foundation the schools of Ilgbenburen, Westphalia, Germany and those of Webster Groves, Missouri have been enjoying an exchange of teachers this year. Fraulein Antonie Rottgermann has been teach- ing German and Modern History here and Miss Gertrude Fiehler has been teaching English in lbbenburen. Fraulein Rottgerrnann has an education that is highly esteemed by all who know her. She spent eight years in a Gyrnnasien for girls in Warendorf, and attended the Universities of Munster and Innsbruck. After two years of apprentice teaching she received the title of 'Studien Assessorin in 1953. As she tells of hiking, bicycling and swim- ming, her favorite sports, one gets a glimpse of the variety and beauty of the country-side of Westphalia. Also, one has a sense of the age of European civilization when looking at the farm buildings and the home that has been the residence of her family for over three hundred years. The students of her classes and the many different groups to which she has talked have been highly privileged in being able to get from her a broadened outlook on life. With her never-failing good-humor, her viva- city and her keen interest in everything, she has been an excellent ambassador of good will. She has made many talks to adult groups such as the community service clubs, and or- ganizations from various churches as well as to many scout groups. To carry back a true picture of what she has seen in America she has taken worlds of photographs, bought hun- dreds of slides and books and pictures of all sorts. Not only has she helped to interpret modern Germany to us but she has helped us sometimes to see ourselves a little as others see us. Hier wohne ich. Tee fur mich . Der Herr Direktor und Ich. .

urricu um Each year new fields of study are opening at Webster. This year, for the first time, Ger- man and psychology were added to the many senior school electives. The curriculum of the seventh and eighth grade students, however, remains much the same from year to year. ln these grades the basic courses such as math, science, English, and social studies predominate. The boys may take shop and the girls, home economics, but all are required to take music. Geography is also included for one semester. Although this program is not very flexible, it does pro- vide the student with a widespread knowledge on which he may base his choice of studies when he reaches the ninth grade level. At this level, courses become largely of the elective nature with the exception of a few which are required. These are three years of English, one of American History, and one of social-studies. Physical education is also required. 'With these as a start, the Fourleen
