Of European Trip
"Nantucket Rebel" by Edward
Stackpole and 'The Fortress" by
Catherine Gavin are two of the
popular books sent to Ashland
High through the Young Adult
Division of the Literary Guild
Book Club.
A popular book is sent each
month to the library. Each one
costs $1.75. Many of the books
cost as much as $4 or $5 regularly
but the librarian, Mr. Giles Green,
is able to obtain them for the
reduced price because the books
arc purchased through a book
club.
New books are also received at
Ashland High through the Life
World Library. Every other month
a book on a different country is
sent to the library. The books
cost $3.25 each. Book fine money
goes to pay for these books. There
are now about 22 of the Life
books on the library shelves for
student use.
Mr. Harry Wright, chemistry
teacher at Ashland High, was
chosen la.U spring as the first
Jackson County Goodwill Ambas
sador under the John F. Kennedy
Memorial Program. Each summer
the John F. Kennedy Foundation
of Jackson County will send some
one to a foreign country to visit
in that country and learn as much
about it as they can. When they
return, they will be asked to
share their knowledge and ex
periences with the people of
Jackson County. Italy was the
country chosen for Mr. Wright
to visit and study. Also included
in his travel schedule were Eng
land, France, Germany. Ireland,
and New York City. There will
be a series of articles in the
Rogue News to let the students
of Ashland High learn more about
this trip.
"I left Portland International
Airport at 8 p.m. on the
evening of July 8, 1964. The
Pan American jet flight was
supposed to be nonstop from
Seattle to London. The plane
took the north polar route over
Northern Canada. Since it was
the middle of summer, the sun
never went below the horizon
and I could see the land and
water 39,000 feet below the
plane. Most of the north eastern
part of Canada is marshy land
with some islands and lakes.
About 1:30 a.m. (Pacific Coast
time) the plane flew over
Greenland.
The land is nearly all snow-
covered with many mountain
peaks and glaciers visible. There
were ice-bergs floating in the
ocean near Greenland. Soffn after
leaving Greenland behind and
while the plane was out over the

the water or land below could
be seen. At 1:25 p.m. Green
wich time (5:25 a.m. PDT), the
plane landed at London air
port. It had taken just 18 V
hours flying time from Portland
to London.
The afternoon of the ninth I
found a hotel to stay in near
Victoria station and then spent
my time looking at the stores in
that area and trying to see how
Londoners live. At 8:30 in the
evening, I went to bed since 1
had been awake 31 hours. I had
been told it would take several
days to adjust to the difference
in time, but I found that just
overnight was all the time it took.
On Friday, the 10th, I visited the
Picadilly Circus area. At night,
this area is all lighted up with
hundreds of neon signs. I visited
the Parliament buildings, West
minster Abbey, St. James Park,
and looked at Buckingham Palace.
Everything seemed very old and
cdate. The buildings have been
undergoing a cleaning process,
but many still looked dirty,
moky, and grimy. In the late
afternoon, I took a Circle Tour
of London. In about 2 hours the
bus covers more than 20 miles
and the guide points out many

so far. All of us and the other
AFS students from different coun
tries in Asia were on the same
plane, so w e had a very nice
trip. We didn't sleep at all, we
looked out the windows and we
saw the ocean, the clouds, the
moon, the sky, and some islands
such as Japan and Hong Kong.
The strangest thing I saw was
the sky. It was about 4 or 5
o'clock in the morning and at
one side of the plane it was day
break and at the other one was
dark. I arrived at San Francisco
on the same day at 6:00 p.m.
When I came out the airport
I could not imagine that I was
in the U.S. and so far from my
home. My first days at Stanford
was terrible; I understood nothing
if our chaperone spoke fast. I dare
say that my English was so bad
and I don't know what will my
English teacher think about me
if she heard me speaking English.
Now I understand it better if
everyone doesn't speak too fast.
I was not surprised to see high
buildings, their style of con
struction, streets, and so on be
cause I have seen many pictures
about America. But I was surprised
at the American way of life and
their customs. They are quite
of the important buildings and ! different from ours.
things new in the high school
library. New covers that will last
forever were put on 33 of the
books in the library. Brightly
pictured covers are on many of
them. Mr. Green stated that they
were even better covers than
those on many of the new books.
Everyone be sure to come to

began to slow down. Down below,
nothing was visible except water.
Then the pilot announced that he
was not sure there was enough
fuel to get to London and that
he would land in Iceland. It was
8:30 in the morning in Iceland,
but it was only 2:30 a.m. (PDT).
There was a strong, cold wind
blowing, but it was clear and
sunny. After 30 minutes for re
fueling, the plane took off and
flew over a small volcano that
is rising out of the ocean near
Iceland. You could see the flames
and smoke coming from the
crater.
The rest of the flight was
above the clouds, so none of
streets of London.
On Saturday morning I went
to Buckingham Palace to see
the changing of the guard.
Everyday when the Queen is
in residence at the Palace, this
hour-long ceremony is held.
There was a foggy rain coming
down all during the ceremony,
but several thousand people
were there to see it. In the
afternoon I toured the Tower
of London. I saw the Crown
Jewels of England and learned
a considerable amount of Eng
lish history. The White Tower,
in the Tower of London area,
has a legend about it. As long
as there are ravens around this
tower the British Empire will
continue. If the ravens ever
leave, the Empire will fall.
The English now import ravens
from the Northwestern United
States so that their empire can
continue. I then took a boat
cruise down the Thames and
saw many of the famous build
ings along the river. This took
me from Tower Bridge to West
minster pier. Most of my travel
in London was by subway.
There it is called the under-

Athletes Attend
Annual FCA Camp
To help Christians learn how
to witness in meaningful ways
through their common athletic in

met for the second straight year
on the SOC campus.
Ashland High was represented
at the Conference by Wayne
Calvary, Jim Conklin, Dennis Ek-
wall. Jack Gruber, and Keith
Munson. High school and college
boys, some 350 in number, joined
together to create a lively at

football.
During the five action-packed
days, the boys were led and in

On Sunday I took a conducted
bus tour to Oxford University
and Blenheim Palace. Blenheim
Palace is the home of the Duke
of Marlborough and the birth
place of Sir Winston Churchill.
The art treasures and antiques
in the palace buildings were
fabulous. I felt that the English,
countryside and small towns were
much nicer than London. In the
next article I will continue my
trip as I left for Paris on Monday
morning, July 13, 1964.

for this program. There was no
other group in Jackson County
that came anywhere close to
raising as much money as you
did. I would, also, like to thank
