2 MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford. Oregon, Friday, August 22, 1958 Student Writes of Stay in (Roberta Sleeter. snendins the summer in Norway as an American Field Service ex change student, has described her arrival in Europe and her life with a Norwegian family in letters to her moth er and family here. Miss Sleet er, a Medford High school student, is a daughter of Mrs. Robert W. Sleeter, 39 South Eerkeley way. Excerpts from her letters follow.) 4- Well, I guess I really have a lot to tell you since I wrote last. Saturday our boat docked in Rotterdam. It was all very exciting. There was a mili tary band of some kind there fo greet us. and they played marches until we had com pletely disembarked. . When the Norway group got off. we took a bus to the central station in Rotterdam and were turned loose with in structions to be back at a given time for lunch and din ner. Then a group of us went down to a very modern shop ping district and looked around. I bought a real cute pair of shoes for a little less than S6 American. I also bought a few little souvenirs to remem ber Rotterdam. After dinner we were taken to the north station where we waited an hour in a down pour of rain for our train. It was really a ricketty old thing and I slept about two hours that night. During the night and early morning we were going through Germany. At 5 a.m. we got on a ferry to go to Denmark. We arrived in Copenhagan at aVout 12:30 and I called John as soon as I could. (John Hansen was an AFS student in Medford dur ing the 1956-57 school year and lived with the H. D. Christensen family.) I had quite a time irying to get him, and Iinany some Hid it for me. He came right over, despite the fact that he had such a sore mrodi that he could hardly talk. He inntrpri flhnnt the same as ever Except that his hair was pretty long again. He treated Bev Barnes, who was wun me-dn the time, and me to some Danish pastry and then we had to leave to catch our train. I hope that when we go back, I'll have more time to really talk to him. We went from Denmark into Sweden. Sweden was one of the most beautiful coun tries I've been through. As we got closer to Norway there were green fields in little villages surrounded by roll ing hills covered with dense foliage. Here and there were little red roofed houses, and it was very beautiful. Oslo Beautiful We arrived in Oslo at mid night. It was very beautiful as we entered the city. It was not very dark, and we .could see all the hills, almost black, and dotted with many lights, rising out of the Oslo fjord with big bridges con necting them. When I arrived, Evy and a friend were there to meet me. It seemed that Winthrop Designed to go with the new natural boys fashions Plain Toe H3Cp ' 0xfo,rd, lW (ps?ilV $9.95 VSy 01 Sixes 6'i to ! Johnston & Stewart Junior Boot Shop 211 E. Main Medford Phone SP 2-4848 Where The Fit Is Guaranteed the rest of the familv had left that morning to go to the sea side. Evy is very nice, but not at all like the picture she sent. We finally went to bed about 1:30. They don't use blankets over here. Instead they ' use big quilts like things that are stuffed with down and are very soft. I liked sleeping under it very much. We had to get up at 6:30 this morning, so we could be ready to catch the 9 a.m. train for the seaside. After breakfast of coffee and corn flakes we took a car to the station. The train trip took nearly all day. There was a long delay en route be cause the electric wire was broken, or something. We ar rived at Arendal around 6, where we were met. by Mr and Mrs. Haneborg and Iriger the youngest, who doesn'1 sDeak English. They are al just wonderful and I feel at home already The cabin is on an island which can only be reached by a ferry. It is 16 miles long and has 3000 inhabitants on it. Our cabin is one of the nicest ones that I've seen They built it just last year There is no electricity or run ning water, but I really like it iust the same. I suppose you still wonder what Mr. Haneborg does. He is the manager of an iron factory that was founded in 1610 and is the oldest in the country. Celebration Held Tonieht was what is known as "Midsummer night" the shortest night of the year. To celebrate it, people on the island all built bonfires and wp .had a really big one go ing. When it died down, we went down to the seaside which is really a small fjord and very pretty. We went on a boat ride and wandered around until we got tired and thpn ramp back Our dinner was very good tonight. First we had some wine, but that was just a special thing. We had boiled cod, boiled potatoes and a let tna alaH Then we had boiled lobster, which I gather is quite a treat. It was very good. For dessert we naa some chocolate, coffee and cookies. Sees King I've heen here a little over a week. The time goes by so fast that it doesn t seem pos- sihle. It has rained or been gloomy most of the time but last Fridav and today tne sun has shone all day and it's been beautiful. We swim in a little fjord right by the nrean. The water is quite cold but if the weather is warm it is very refreshing. Monday a group of us went ovpr to Arendal because the king of Norway was arriv ing. We waited about an hour fnr him in a downpour of rain, but it was worth wait ing for. It was very interest ins to watch all the prepara tions they went through be fore he arrived rolling, out the red carpet, etc. He finally NEW FOR BOYS ThexLean Clean Rook Juniors $11.95 Widths A to C O Norway made his grand entrance and the crowd waved and yelled. I couldn't see him too well, but he looked very nice. We left after he had finished in specting "the guard. We shopped a little before we left and I bought a cute white hat like everyone over here wears.- The food is really terrific. We have boiled fish and po tatoes most of the time and its really good. Sunday night we had meat. Most" of the family drinks sour milk with their meal its all thick' and lumpy. However, Ragnhild and I both drink sweet milk after dinner. I sometime feel like Evy's little silent shadow. Since not very many people speak Eng lish, no one says anything to me but simple little phrases. I'm catching on quite a bit, though. Yesterday the Haneborgs bought a Mercury 6 horsepow er outboard motor and we tried it out on a neighbor's boat. It's a nice little motor, but riding around in the boat made me very homesick for the lake. Today we'll see about getting our own boat, too. There are no speed' boats or anything that goes very fast; their 6 hp motor is a com paratively fast motor here.
