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.)

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

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

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.
