Monika arrived in Lexington on August 22, after spending eleven days traveling by train, boat, and bus. She is now making her home with the family of Dr. and Mrs. J. Banks Hankins of Country Club Drive. Monika’s father is an engineer and her mother is a housewife. She has one sister. Use, who is studying pharmacy. She also has a brother, Peter, who is a student at the Technical University of Vienna. Both are older than she. Monika graduated from Albert School where she took many and varied courses. Some of them were Latin, German, English, chemistry, all forms of mathematics, gymnastics, psysics, philosophy, and music. School started for Monika at the beginning of September and ended at the beginning of July. Her vacations came at Christmas, Easter, and the skiing season.
