Through the Washington, D.C. based Summer Abroad program, Deirdre Thomas, Betsy Lowrance and Susan Reinecke participated in the two to four week home,stay/travel pro gram. Deirdre Thomas resided with a family in Paris, France. For 5 1/2 weeks she was exposed to new ex periences and many good friends. During her stay, she traveled with a group of American students for three weeks. She visited many beautiful cities in the South of France. Thomas notes the cities of Toulouse, Tarascon and Sarlat as “very beautiful and exciting.” While in each city, Thomas visited numerous wineries along with a few of the famed French beaches. When asked- to sum up her trip Thomas elaborates, “I lov ed all the freedom and the night cafes were great. I think it was a wonderful experience and I will never forget it!” Susan Reinecke also was a Summer Abroad student who stayed with the Giradet family. Reinecke made her new home among people who spoke “some” English. Susan lived in the small town of Tiepot located in the mountains near Switzerland. Reinecke notes, “The town had only 320 people, a lot of cows, a church, a cafe and a cheese museum. Never theless, the people were great.” The third and final of GHS’s visitors to France was Betsy Lowrance. She visited France with a group from the Experi ment in International Liv ing during the month of Ju- ly. Lowrance’s group was Exchange Club wins contest by Cindy Gay With the end of the foot ball season and the coming of Homecoming there is the battle between the clubs to win the best Homecoming project. Each year there is the familiar sound of a ham mer, the inevitable destruction of someone’s yard or garage, and the trips into attics to scrounge for materials. One does not soon forget the headaches, the paint spills, when the wind knocked the whole thing down, or when the dog got loose and left tracks on the fresh paint job. It is a fun time but an oathprovoking one as well. Above all it is the true test of devoted club members. This year a new twist was added to the Homecoming projects and they were designed as floats. Prior to the game the floats were driven around the field in an assortment of trucks (not hinting at what was to come at half-time). Spec tators watched as a hot-air balloon, a rainbow, and a mountain passed by under the stadium lights. For the Exchange and Exchangette clubs the work and time meant something. Others began taking their floats apart until only tinsel remained. In a few years no one would.remember who won and who lost. All that would 1^ left is the paint on the, driveway. composed of young men and women from such states as Virginia, North Carolina, Georgia, New York, (California, New Jersey, and Maryland. After her departure from Paris, Lowrance spent the next three weeks with the Family Jacquin in the town of Wuimper in Brittany near the nor thwestern coast of France. Lowrance was able to learn an incredible amount of information about Brittany when she participated in a festival celebrating the town’s heritage. Exposure to games, customs and daily life was an exciting ex perience for this American student. Lowrance sums up the feelings of all three girls when she claims, “The whole month was a great experience and hopefully I can go back to visit my family sometime. I hope to continue my friendship with them forever.” New publication begins by Yvette Cook A new publication for to day’s youth has been form ed in Kernersville, N.C.
