By DaANNE TAYLOR
I'm a school girl again. I
have .been going to school
withthe girls, Ursula, 17, and
Heidi. School is so different.
It is in a rather old brick
building and the school yard,
in front, is all gravel.
There are 13 grades, each
grade having several classes
or forms, as Ursula calls them.
They are lettered A, B, etc.
Ernst, Heidi, and Ursula are
all in the same school.
There are about 950 stu
dents. Each class is 45 minutes
long with 15 minutes between
each class. Some of the stu
dent! have 14 or more sub
jects, but, as I suspected, they
. don't have them all in one
day. For instance, Ursula has
English three times a week.
The students stand when the
' teacher comes in, but they
chatter constantly during
class. Usually the teacher
moves instead of the students
except for such classes as art,
music, and physics.
Enjoy School
The head master told me
he didn't think I would enjoy
the school, not knowing the
language.
I admit that a better knowl
edge of German would help,
but I enjoyed going to English-classes.
Ernst, 11, is just
' beginning English but he has
had Latin. I read a paragraph
. in each class and the students
compared .the pronunciation
to theirs. They learn "Eng-
lish" Enelish and some of the
'. expressions are strange to me.
AnnUinr difference in this
school from ours is that the
students, and teachers too, are
always eating. During the
breaks you can see sandwich
es, apples, prunes, cherries,
almost anything you can
name.
School is out in about three
weeks (July 15) for a six
weeks "holiday," but there
are no tests because it is not
the end of the term.
At Free University
I spent one day with Hanni
at the Free university of Ber
lin. It was built from a grant
given by the Ford foundation.
There are about 20 buildings.
most of them qulle modern.
There are almost 11.000 stu
dents from all over the world.
Hanni said there are quite a
few American students, and
ihnt I could bo to one of their
meetings if I wished. We ate
lunch in a little park m uan
lem where most of the Ameri
can soldiers and their families
live. It seemed so strange to
hooT- thr kids nlavins in the
sandboxes, speaking English.
The lectures and lessons i
attended were on English
dramatists. They discussed T.
s Flint and were reading the
play "Murder In The Cathe
dral." It reminded me of
"Christ In the Concrete City.'
f A local nresentation bv mem
bers of DcAnne's church in
Medford).
Cost Par Semester
Hanni says she pays about
$35 per semester. Sne nas to
pay about 75 cents per lesson
nlus a fee at the beginning. It
was interesting to note that
the students were from an
over, but Hanni said those
from West Germany can stay
only a year due to lack of
snare
Wednesday evening (June
22) Ursula and I went to a
Philharmonic concert. The
music selections were Tchai
kovsky's Opus 35, and Dvor
ak's symphony No. 7, featur
ing Norman Dell Joio. I am
not too familiar with either
the music or the instrumental
ist, but I enjoyed it very
much.
The Schelle's (the family
she is staying with) are in-

Planning io Move
Heidi, who Is 16, is leaving
oai-iu In Julv for a school in
Gtirittni'lnnri The family is
planning to move there next
vcar because of the situation
in Berlin. Heide has to go
early in order to take tests so
that h won't have to spend
turn more years in senooi
hnK.
she l tn a position .similar
to mine. She didn't think she
wnnlH have to leave so early
and she hasn't had enough
Prnnrh.
Saturday night (June 25) I
went to a garden party with
Hanni, 18, and her boy friend,
nplririch. It started about 8
p.m. and we didn't get home
until about 3 a.m. Hanni says
parties usually last until 1 or
3 a.m., but last year they had
one that lasted until 4 in the
morning.
I was tired. The garden was
quite nice with a little sum
mer house and lots of trees
and flowers. They hung paper
lanterns and when it got dark
they put candles in and light
ed them.
Political Situation
No one talks much about
the political situation here.
However, at the party every
one lit a match as a symbol of
a free and united Berlin. It
was a beautiful ceremony.
Yesterday afternoon (June
26) Ursula and I visited a
friend of hers. Her friend's
name is Christa. We took the
train there. The Shelle's have
two cars, a Mercedes and a
Volkswagen, but they use
them only for business and
shopping. We usually walk or
take the bus.
Christa's father is a pro
fessor of theology and an ac
complished musician.
Christa has been lo Eng
land, and has had English
girls stay with her. Two of
them are coming at the be
ginning of the six weeks holi
day. t atnr in the evening we
tnnt the train to the Wald-
bukne, an open air theater,
where we saw part of the In
ternational Film I e s i iv a i.
There was a jazz band and
several foreign movie stars.
The movie starred a popular
German singer, Freddy Quinn,
and was entitled "Freddy and
Melodie dcr Nacht." It wasn't
i Hiffir-ult to understand.
There were fireworks after
ward which reminded me of
th Fourth of July.
Four Different Pools
I've been swimming in the
ni 9rn the street from
the Schelle's house. There are
fr,,,- nnnU of different sizes
and depths. I've never seen
so many bikinis. The pools are
crowded like Hawthorne on a-
hot day. :
The scenery around tne
Schelle home is lovely. When
we go for walks one minute
we are by apartment houses
ind the next in a little park.
Thoro are lots of trees and
flowers. There is a small hill
near hv which was built from
rnhhish after the war. It is
very unique and thought pro
voking. Now it is covered
with trpps and vegetation.
There are. no signs oi war
damage.
Mrs Krhelle won t let tne
girls take me across to East
Berlin, but Mr. Augermann,
the AFS counselor in Berlin,
has written that a tour of East
Berlin is being planned for
later on this summer.
T will he thinking of you
on the Fourth of July. I didn't
rpalize how much it would
mean until I found myself
miles away from home.
