September 30, 1960 THE SALEMITE Page Three Foreign Student, Meggi Schultz Arrives From Germany This Weekend Coming from Erlenbach on the Main, Germany, Salem’s new for eign student, Mechthild Schultz will be “around the square” by Septem ber 30 or October 1. “Meggi”, as she prefers to be called by her friends, is no stranger to Salem, although she has never seen the campus. The story of her arrival at Salem is an interesting combina tion of coincidences, beginning last spring. Meggi, who was personally ac quainted in Germany with a close friend of Salem’s German professor, Mr. Sanders, had earlier expressed National Teachers Exam Given On October Eighth The National Teachers Examina tion will be given in Winston-Salem on October 8 to those seniors who will graduate at mid-semester and who plan to get a teacher’s certi ficate. The exam is required for all teachers applying for North Carolina certification. The exam will be given from 8:30 to 12:30 her desire to attend college in America. Learning of this interest last spring, Mr. Sanders promptly wrote Meggi, advising her to write an institute in New York which handles the foreign exchange pro gram in which the school partici pates. Although she was applying too late for admission to an Ameri can school this fall, Meggi began work right away on applications, thus planning to get a head start for next year. Through a stroke of bad luck for Angel Guillot, the exchange student from Peru, how ever, good luck came Meggi’s way, bringing her straight to Salem. Receiving a travel grant, Meggi spent her summer months in Cleve land, Ohio, where she lived with a friend of her uncle. Between fun- filled moments, she managed to squeeze in two English courses at one of the Cleveland high schools, taking English literature and a course in speech and composition. Mr. Sanders, who visited Meggi this summer, had already begun Meggi’s introduction to Salem, so she is well on her way! At home Meggi leaves an older brother and sister, as well as a younger brother. Her father, who is a merchant, deals in materials. Meggi, who is 21, has attended both the University of Frankfort and the guage, German, and in English and French. Meggi plans to become a teacher in the German high schools upon completion of her schooling. • After a rush of cables and air mail letters, Meggi informed the Salem admissions office that she would be leaving Europe by boat on September 24. From New York she will fly to Winston-Salem this "weekend. Attention All Salemites! See Vocational Office! , ■ . t c I vacations and on interviews thctn- SENIORS!
