Page Four High Life October 26, 1964 In Gratefulness Yours Editor of High Life: The following letter was sent to the Interact Club by Rainer Trebin. We felt that the student body would like to know how Rainer is doing now that he is back in Germany. Sincerely, Bill Rinkei Vice President Dear Student Body, Exactly three weeks have passed since I left Greensboro, and again everyday-life in Germany has be gun for me. Hard school-days re quire a great deal of studying, but it is encouraging me to see that, although I have missed an en tire semester, I still can follow the lessons without difficulties. Soon after I had arrived arrived at Regensburg, a party was arranged, to which all the King Or Queen! “Was she or wasn’t she? Only her burier knew for sure-” Queen Elizabeth I, though nev er a beautiful woman had the mind of a man; in fact in her day in time her knowledge was supe rior to that of a man’s. Because she was Henry VIH’s favorite child, she was tutored and even surpassed her Latin teacher’s cap abilities. Not only did she show unsur passable knowledge, she was the first to get up at dawn, and fas tening a saddle to her horse would ride until the skies did darken and this wasn’t sidesaddle fashion either. In fact many peo ple would call Elizabeth’s man ner “unladylike.” On becoming queen, several of her ladies-in-waiting would often flash eyes of green at seeing their shapeless thin haired ruler attract men like honey attracts bees, when they, such buxtom fair-com- plexioned girls were left only dull love affairs. It may be noticed that Queen Elizabeth never married. Just as determined as her people were to marry her she was determined to hook a man. History records that just as her people had the wed ding set up Elizabeth would jump on a horse and gallop away. Although her lovers were pas sionate, the queen made sure that they never became too involved and died a spinster. Getting around to her death, it seems that Elizabeth willed that only one person (a very intimate doctor) would prepare her body for burial. At thft time of her death only one person was allowed in her room. Elizabeth insisted that she be dressed in full array and when she knew her time had come she sat down in a chair and breathed her last. Oh, I forgot to tell you. As a baby, Elizabeth was taken to the country to avoid the Black Plague. There she was nursed by a coun try woman who had a boy Eliza beth’s age. It is believed by some that Elizabeth died of a fever and the woman so feared King Henry’s wrath that she dressed her boy as a girl. Wasn’t the 14tb Century fantasical? Electricity costs less today! Hie cost of almost every item you buy has practically doubled m the past ten years, while the coat per unit of electric service has actually decreased about one third. Duke Power residential cus tomers today enjoy rates that are 20% less than the national l."^VBrage! DUKE POWER students of my class were invited. There I showed by slides of Amer ica for the first time, and every body was deeply impressed by the experiences I had had. Last Fri- ay I gave my report to the Rotary Club in Regensburg. The members were astonished about your Amer ican hospitality, and especially about your work for international understanding. I asked (having told them about Interact) what the chances of the foundation of a club here were, and the answer was that it would be difficult to found one in Germany, but it will be deliberated. I am quite sure that the proposal will be discussed officially at the visit of the dis trict-governor, whom I met in Toronto. Three Americans were guests at the meeting on Friday. Two came from Pittsburgh, the third from Clemson, S. C. This gentleman I had already met during the con vention in Toronto, and I had the pleasure to show him my hometown shortly and to have a fine conversation in Southern-ac cent American. He had to leave an hour later, but I was very happy to have seen him, for he remind ed me so much of people in America. By looking through the many souvenirs which had arrived in my big box, I have to think much of the beautiful days in Greens boro. How are you doing? Mean while, how is the club? How is Per Arne? Consider it as con solidation to know that pupils in Germany are as much suffering pressed by schoolwork as some in America do. Surely you have had a good start at least. I still am very homesick for America, for it was really a big time for me overseas. Tell the bovs in the club my deepest thanks for everything they did for me; the greatest appreciation for the invitation to become exchange student I feel now being able to compare in looking back. Best wishes and much success to you and the club. in gratefulness yours, Rainer Thalhimers > Ellis Stone Three stores for your shopping eonvenience .

Football player: I shot a pass into the air, it fell to earth I know not where, and that is why 1 sit and dream on the bench with the second team. Two sheep were grazing in a field. The first sheep said to the second. “Ba-a-aaa”. The second replied, ‘Moooo’. The first said, “Whaddaya mean, ‘Mooo’?” The second replied, “I’m studying a foreign language”. Carolyn Dees, Senior, has writ ten poems and enjoyed poems like a cat loves sardines. The only exception is that Carolyn’s poems are not “fishy.” in fact, some of them might be classified as writ ten in the style of Imagism (ex pression of ideas and emotions through a series of clear, precise images.) In the ninth grade Carolyn was inspired by her English teacher, Mrs. Hazelman, to find out all about poets’ lives and experiences she could. From research she found herself deeply interested in poets and since then has written numerous poems. “I have literally hundred of boxes filled with poems.” Carolyn said in explain ing her interest. Following are samples of Car olyn’s poems; BENCHED By Carolyn Dees Every afternoon your practice is rough— Compared to the others you feel as tough! Your heart pounds, your lungs swell, This next game you’ll be in—you can tell. You make a mistake—miss that pass It’s just not your day, but it won’t last.

Your chance will come, its worth the sweat And with each practice you’ll bet ter yet How do I know?
