Monica Circle tells of
trip to Greece
Miss Monica Circle, Rose
burg, presented a slide illu
strated talk about her recent
trip to Greece to a gathering of
relatives and friends at the
home of Mr. and Mrs. Gar
Swanson, lone, Jan. 2.
Miss Circle, fiancee of Jim
Swanson, was part of the
International Farm Youth
Exchange program sponsored
by the National 4-H Founda
tion and the Greek Ministry of
Agriculture.
She spent six months in
Greece and lived with seven
different host families, all of
whom resided in the rural
farm villages. Two of the
families lived on the islands,
one on Crete, and one on
Corfu. She observed social
habits and customs of her host
families and in turn tried to
convey to them something of
her way of life in the United
States.
Miss Circle, 22, is a 1973
graduate of Oregon State
University. She obtained her
bachelor of science degree in
home economics education
only four days before she left
for Washington, DC, on the
first leg of her trip.
When she left for Greece,
she was instructed to wait at
the Athens Airport until some
one arrived to meet her. She
spoke only limited Greek and
she admits she had some
anxious moments until she
heard her name called on the
public address system at the
airport. Communication with
her host families was very
limited at first. It became
easier as they helped her learn
the names of common foods
and objects. Where words
failed, a system of sign
language developed.
Miss Circle took over 600
35mm slides of all phases of
Greek life, scenery, and the
usual tourist attractions. She
noted a large part of Greek
history dates back to before
Christ, and that there is a
contrast of the very old with
the very new.
