I ran’t remember much about
Milan, except that Ibla’s slip blew
fjut the window. W'c couldn't
make the clerk understand that we
were looking; for nylon unmention
ables—bis Knglish wasn’t up to
that.
We pot our first taste of war-
torn Kuro|)e in b'lorence where the
hotel had velvet doors, Louis XIV
furniture, two orchestras, Eating
on the roof garden every night,
and |)lenly of Dashing Italian boys
to dance with. I’d like to have
stayed there—decided that the Ital-
i.an men were the best looking atid
had the smoothest sweet talk.
.And we saw everything that one
should see in Rome. We went to
the opera. On the way home the
hor^e and buggie r:in away with
us—the horse couldn’t si>eak J'hig-
lish, either. In Venice we rode in
;i gondohi and noted the fact that
instead of coca-cola trucks they
htive coca-cola gondolas. There’s
;i stoj) light on the Grand Canal,
too, to regulate trtiffic. While we
were there we saw the world’s
hirgest festivtd of fireworks. It
v\;is a religious holiday commemo
rating the day that the Plague was
over in Venice.
We spent three weeks in Austria
and there 1 went to two German
classes. “Educational” I wrote
home again. After two days we
realized that the professor was
teaching Germtui in Jtalitm and
hrench, and that we coudn’t under
stand either. Felt almost at home
when we went to an American
cocktail party and an American
wiener roast. Only, the mustard
was the kind that squeezes out of
a tube.
In Oberamergau, Germany we at
tended the Passion play which
lasted all day. All of the actors
came frmi the little village, and
we found out that most of the
children grow up ivith the ambition
of being in the play just as Ameri
can kids want to be cowboys.
Then we went to Holland where
1 bought some wooden shoes and
to Brussels where we haunted the
lace shops.
It was raining in London the
day we got there and it was rain
ing the day we left. We had
luncheon at the Cheshire Cheese
and commumed with Roswell and
lohnson, visited Shakespeare and
.Anne Hathaway and found out wh}-
I candle burns at both ends. Un
officially I visited the Tower’ of
Lf)ndon, and I saw a change., of
uards at Buckingham Palace and
just missed the celebratioii of
Princess Anne’s arrival by two
days.
Scotland was my favorite on the
tour. While we were there we
went to the Tatoo and Bartholo
mew’s Fair—part of the Edinburgh
Festival. Bought some bagpipes—
in case the music department is
interested—and some tweed. Saw
men in kilts and took a loch trip.
Scotch is more expensive in Scot
land than anywhere else (Medici
nal).
Then back to London and back
again to Quebec where I spent
fifteen hours in Ctinadian customs
and still didn’t get my bags. By
then the New York Air terminal
looked good to me—even at three

merce. Before she received her
scholarship, she had plarnied to
travel with her brother and several
of their friends to Switzerland.
“They had bought an old car, and
painted it all oyer with signs. On
the front was a point of interro
gation. You should have seen the
Parisians when they drove through
the city,” Katherine said. “The
well-dressed models' walking their
dogs—they were so shocked.”
Nancy Arnot was born in Cali
fornia, but moved to Australia
when she was three months, old.
“Australian girls are exactly like
American girls”, she told me.
Nancy was already acquainted with
the rules and regulations of a
young ladies’ institution before she
she came to Salem. She went to
a private girls’ school in Australia.
“There were five hundred girls
there, and we wore uniforms; it
was very strict. We got out about
twice a month.”
Last winter, while all young
Salemites were hard at work (with
out uniforms), Nancy was m Ma
laya, the Phillippines, Siam and
Bali. “Bali is the prettiest place
I have ever seen,” she said. “I
would love to see South Pacific,”
she added.
Nancy spent the summer at
Wrightsville Beach, where she met
Mimi Weil, Carolyn Dunn and sev
eral other former Salemites. She
spent two weeks in N^ew York •
“Where. I took driving lessons, but
didn’t learn how to drive.”
The Koala Bear on Nancy’s bed
and her British accent are the only
tw'o things that indicate her Austra
lian background. Other than that,
one must agree, Australian girls
are exactly like Americans.
