In The
Classroom
By Pamela Banks
Instead of making her
social debut next sum
mer as one of several,
debutantes, Yvette
George, 16, plans to tour
England and France.
Audrey Hogan of
Chapel Hill is sacrificing
a big birthday party and
Christmas to help pay
for her summer trip to
Europe.
Both students are part
of a 30-member group of
junior and senior high
school students planning
the foreign travel next
summer, the idea of
which grew out of a 1982
Summer Enrichment
Program.
The students, mostly
from Durham city and
county schools, with
some students from
Chapel Hill and Durham
Academy, will be accom
panied by ' about 20
adults. The adutls will
include teachers and
parents.
Students and adults
are attending a series of
workshops to prepare ,
for the trip. j
In one of a-series of
workshops scheduled
parison charts. A woman
in. the U.S. who wears a
size 6 shoe would wear a
size 37 in France and a
size 5 in England.
A man who wears a
shirt size 14'z neck size
would wear a 37 neck
size in England and
France.
The European metric
system produces the dif
ferences in clothing sizes
between U.S. and Euro
pean countries.
Students study ap
plications for passports
and teachers urged the
students to apply as soon
as possible since the
passport fee will be rais
ed to $30 in December
from the current $13.
The chaperones plann
ing the 11 -day trip have
entitled it "A Tale of
Two Cities," because
most of the sightseeing
will take place in London
and Paris. Dates for the
trip are April 2-10, dur
ing the city schools Spr
ing Break.
The trip will cost $900.
The first $200 was due
November 1; but Ms.
Boykins said travelers
can register for the trip
until December i.
except the chaperones
will have to' raise hisher
own fare which includes ,
all costs except spending
money.
The chaperones' fares
and expenses are paid by
AIFS in exchange for be
ing responsible for eight
students.
However, some fun
draising is being done by
the parents to defray ex
penses of a lay over trip
to New York City.
Parents are hoping to
raise enough money to
allow students to see a
Broadway play and take
a tour of the city before
departing for Europe
from Newark, N.J. by
British Airways.
Ms. Boykins said the
whole idea for the trip
came out of the Summer
Enrichment program en
titled "A Global
Scenario" which focused
on foreign language
study, foreign festivals,
and current world af
fairs. As a result of this ex
posure to the study of
French and Spanish in
world affairs, the
Area Students Getting Ready For Europe
born.
Mrs. George said a
unique aspect of the trip
is that all four
chaperones are ex
perienced European
travelers.
The April trip will
mark the fourth time
Ms. Boykin has escorted
students to Europe. For
Mrs. George and Mrs.
Dixon, this will be their
third and for Ms. Fairly,
a fifth time. In addition,
Ms. Fairly has taught in
France.
Ms. Boykin explained
that Paris was chosen
because it is "an exciting
:ity" with many historic
attractions and because
the chapewne party in
cludes three fluent
French speakers.
As for England, it was
chosen because of its
close ties to the U.S. in
language and culture.
Ms. Boykin and Mrs.
George believe the
students have a lot "toy
gain from the trip and
that the workshops will
adequately prepare them
for any "culture shocks"
they may experience.
"We're hoping these
language and . social
studies classes," said
Ms. Boykin. "They'll be
making scrapbooks of
their trip." '

Ms. Audrey Boykin,
assistant principal at
Rogers-Herr, Mrs.
Willia George media
specialist at Rogers
Herr, Mrs. Fern Dixon,
French teacher at
Durham High School
and 'Ms. Julia Fairley,
French teacher from Gu
B. Phillips School in
Chapel Hill are the four
chaperones for the trip.
The team of teachers is
planning the trip under
the sponsorship of the
American Institute for
Foreign Study (AIFS), a
travel agency in Green
wich, Conn., specializing
in student trips. AIFS is
providing guide inter
preters and making the
arrangements.
During the workshbp,
the students and other
prospective travelers
worked in smaller groups
for short sessions on
language, .currency, size
conversions and passport
preparations.
During the session on
ordering meals in a
French restaurant, one
student portrayed a
French waiter while the
others sat at the table
and gave him orders
from menus.
Ms. Fairly reminded
the students to always
end their order request
with "merci" (thanks).
She told them conversa
tions between diners and
waiters in France are
always very formal.
In a currency exchange
session with Ms. Boykin,
students used paper
replicas of Frenc'
rency to ' help tnem
understand exchange
rates. She told them
when she was in France;
four years ago a franc'
was worth 20 cents.
However, she explain
ed, exchange rates do not ,
remain the same and the
franc may be worth more f
or less by April. She ad
vised them to take
calculators so they can
figure exchange . rates
