Betsy Patterson Enjoys Summer At Gov's School Betsy Patterson, Albemarle’s representative at the Governor’s School of North Carolina June 13- July 31, has quite a bit to say about her experience there. Her major area of study was English, in which she studied lit erature and the development of language. She also had a course in Essential Ideas, in which she read from the Great Books of the Western World and studied philos ophy. In a Self and Society course, she studied personality and psychology. At least twice a week, Betsy attended a concert presented by either the students or the faculty. Also, she saw dance and drama productions given by the respec tive classes of the school.

Olive oil is used a great dTaS bread is served with every meal. TXirks have tea in the afternoon because the meals are rather late. Site-seeing for Sandy included visits to museums and mosques in Istanbul, a visit to the Greek and Bulgarian borders, and a five- day stay in Ankara, the Turkish capital. Family recreation included swim ming in the Bosphorus and the Black Sea, which is much like the Atlantic Ocean. Symbolic of the contrasts in Turkish society is the fact that many Turkish girls wear bikinis while veils are still worn by the women in Asian Turkey. Sandy says that Turkish customs seemed strange for a time, but she soon became accustomed to the Turkish custom of greeting people by a kiss on both cheeks. Status symbols in Turkey include gold jewelry and American blue jeans. Sandy returned to the United States August 31 and to Charlotte September 1. She brought back many souvenirs and many memo ries from her summer home. She now corresponds with her Turkish family and plans to send her adopted brother a pair of Ameri can blue jeans.

Harris. Julia, as she is known to us Amer icans and to some of her Greek friends, has been in the United States since August 12 when she arrived in New Yoric City. Since arriving in Albemarle. 18- year-old Julia has noticed that in some respects Greece and the United States are quite similar. Ameriran food, which she likes, is essentially the same as Greek food, the only difference being in the preparation. Dress is the same in both countries. Many customs were unusual to Julia when she first arrived. One of the main differences is eating manners. Dating rules are very different from those in Greece where very little dating is allowed until a couple is engaged. “Greek students are obliged to take 10-13 subjects per year." states Julia who completed her twelfth year in school last year. Students attend school six hours a day six days a week, but they do not take all of their courses every day. One group of students remains together in the same room at all times with the teach ers changing classes. Julia took four languages her last year in high school. She has never gone to school with boys before. American Problems is Julia’s favorite subject, but she enjoys all of her classes. She enjoys reading and listening to music, both class ical and modern. “The twist, shake, and hully gully are now popular in Greece,” remarked Julia when asked about dancing. Armed with the above informa tion, don’t be afraid to stop a girl about five feet four inches tall and with black hair, hazel eyes and a smile on her face and get to know her better. Welcome, Julia!
