Ms. Loriot’s Dream
Is Now A Reality
Glsele Loriot, 33, said
she had always dreamed
about coming to the United
States and teaching
French In the public
schools.
Her dream became a
reality last Wednesday
when she arrived at Kings
Mountain Senior High
School to serve as a French
teacher aide In the Amity
Teacher Aide Program
sponsored by Amity In
stitute of Del Mar,
California.
The vivacious, young
Frenchwoman, who
worked as a medical
secretary In Paris before
being accepted In the
Amity scholarship • ex
change program, plans to
return to Blols and teach
English to French-
speaking students.
She adi4>ted quickly to
the classroom at KMSHS,
says her supervisor, Mrs.
J. L. Raymer. suid also
eqjoys 10 hours of class-
work each week in
American History and Art.
She conducts French
classes and assists Mrs.
Raymer In preparing
French language sched
ules.
“I really love it In Kings
Mountain,” said Glsele,
who Is living with Mr. and
Mrs. Robert Brennan on
Allison Court.
What Glsele likes best
about her new work Is
"more contact with stu
dents and teachers In a
more casual setting” from
her French classroom In
Blols and Tours College.
Her French training was
more formal, she said.
Glsele also likes the
variety of subjects
available to the American
student and the extra
curricular activities which
are not available In French
school system. After high
school in France, Giselle
took business training In
college for her work as a
medical secretary. There
were no business subjects
offered in the Bols public
schools nor are students
offered band, etc.
“The academic level In
France Is much higher,”
she explained," because
we stick to the basic sub
jects such as philosophy,
math and literature.”
CSsele plans to take back
to her country the new
educational methods she
observes here and bring
Into her classroom some of
the training she obtains
here. “I’d like to see the
French classroom livened
up a little more," she
explained, "like the
American clasdsroom.”
Another difference In the
American-French public
school Is there are no
sports activities provided,
she said, and she’d like to
see more, after attending
her first football game at
Kings Mountain High.
Glsele is youngest child
of a family of two brothers
and sisters. Both parents
speak French and Spanish
ftoently and her mother is
now enrolled in English
classes In France. When
Glsele writes to her
parents, she communi
cates In French.
Art Is her favorite hobby.
IT’S A GIRL
Glsele likes to attend art
exhibits and enjoys hand
crafts, macrame, theatre,
and travel.
Miss Loriot says
teaching jobs In France
“are hard to find” but her
ambition Is to teach
English to her fellow
Frenchwomen. Already
she Is developing
colloquial language at
KMSHS and Isn't a bit
homesick for France.
Mrs. Raymer said that
Glsele will be her assistant
here until Jan. 31 and that
the French Club from
KMSHS helps support the
exchange program via

valuable to both students
