Is one of 12 students from the college selected to partici pate in a Freshman Abroad program in cooperation with the Experiment in In ternational Living project. He was graduated in June from Medford High school. The student now is in Ja pan living in a Japanese home with a Japanese "fa ther" and "mother," and two "brothers." Published here are excerpts of some of his Impressions.) October 12 During the curly pari ot this long dny, Bobb; and 1 Raw the Takarazuka revue, famous all over Japan, from backstage. We returned to Ashiya in time lo meet Kay and Nam). Hie lo of us look a drive around Mt. ftok- we were the only American couple, though we did talk to two U.S. suilors. The crowd consisted of young people, all desperately doing every thing that was Western. The music was ast, so Cherie (the other experimen ter) and I rocky-rolled like everybody else. The floo; was much more crowded than any of Medford's dances, which means it was packed, but peo ple made room for Use. Of course there were stares, but when Cherie and I started to twist, everybody formed a circle to watch some authen tic Americans doing the genu ine twist. Needless to say, after this we didn't exactly disappear into the half-a-hcad lo a head shorter crowd. October IS Our morning was occupied October 21 I his was a day on our schedule entitled 'Hiking With You'; we did. Don has a Boy Scout troop, so we con tinued the conversation. All of us had a wonderful time- it wis too bad none of our city officials showed up to climb all those mountains with us. Dick Plass and I boarded an all-nig'-t train lo Kanazawa this evening at 11:00. October 22 Dick had spent a summer in Kanazawa on a previous visit lo Japan. His Otosan of that former visit met our train with the words: "We Go Home." We did. His words meant rescuing us from the piling cold and tilling our empty stomachs. long Shinto ceremony that of' ficially opened the Ashiya fes tival. Jn the afternoon an other Experimenter (Bill), his hrnf ili d frtnnrl nnrt 1 iwnn. ko and several adjoining dia- (0 s u m o wrestling matches in Osaka. We ate dinner, then we met three friends of Bill's brother tricts. One of our stops was at a lake where we all rowed four unstable, leaky little boats. We ate dinner at the Ashiya Hotel, owned by Bob by's friend. The Tool Flyers were staying there prior to their playing in the Japanese World series the next day. Somehow or other, I recog nized Iheir 17-year-old, wonder-boy pitcher. 1 w s rather proud, because I had seen him on TV in Medford throe months ago. Anyway, we all ale dinner, left, and t"l home in time to watch George Chakiris make his final Jap anese television appearance. Everything is close and easily accessible here; celebrities are no exception. October 13 A lea willi Ashiya'a sister cily as-.sociatlon was scheduled today, but Bobby and 1 only flayed a little while. We had lo no watch Otosan's (Fa ther's) horse come In 11 Ird in the tenth at some racetrack or cither. Olosan, Kachlnk, and a friend were llur, and we sat in the owner's box. Following thai, we all went into a nearby town to play Japanese cushion billiards. My brothers showed signs of a wasted boyhood by making t-onic pretty tricky shols. October 14 We watched the Flyers lose their second game of the se ries on TV this afternoon. They looked pretty bad. I met another experimenter, ad we went lo Osaka for the eve ning. We went lo a fantasti cally hour dance hall. There must have been rlo.e lo a thousand people there, and At a more decent hour. with going through the hours-1 since we had arrived at. six in the morning, I called Paul ctte on the phone.

Here 1 met a most personable and hospitable instructor, a Dr. Wm. Bray from Medford. Yes, Medford. He has been a missionary for the first Methodist church of Medford for ihe last len years or so. We had much lo talk about. However, I had lo 'oiitinuc Willi the Rrmp activities, so Ihe majority of my time was spent Willi member of the university's English Speaking Society. October 17 The experimenter! from Ashiya met with the local Lions club today. The rest of the day and evening was directed by Mr. llachiiima owner of a steamship conv pany and a great guy. He took us through a pearl processing faclory of his, and then he gave us samples. We had most enjoyable evening at his home in Ashiya, inelud ing a tea ceremony, Murine, and dancing. II was one of those evenings that can only be described as wonderful October 19 Bobby and I went to Kobe for a very short errand, but we mel Kay and Nanil bv accident. Consequently we all got back to Ashiya three or four hours late. October 19 We allcmplert anolher lec ture today, this tune in Kb- wanlshi Cily, another town nut of Osaka.

We talked about everything, endlessly, ular form of greeting, since (his is Japan. We walked through a small park and ended up at the college where Ihe upperclassmen receive their lectures. My very presence disrupted the already-tedious class. Af ter the ordeal of sitting through a two-hour lecture was over, I was niobbet by the question-firing group. Many of us went to a Rotary meeting, then to a nearby coffee house, where my inter rogation continued. Both groups knew so little about what the oilier was do ing. 1 collected and dispensed information like some sort of reporter. Paulcttc and I went lo her home, where I met her Jap anese mother and grandmo ther. We talked for an hour or two, Then we changed for dinner at Barbara's .! use. Miss Barbara Dirks is Ihe experiment leader for the lxanazawa group, tine was giving an all-couple spaghetti dinner, and Pauletti and I were invited. Dick showed up, too, Botli he and I were pretty tired by this til .e, so we just listened to the top quality wit that was passed back and forth. , Tile evening ended with hair-raising taxi rule over loose dirl roads at high speeds back to Paulctte's house October 23 Everybody slept laic, but my extreme weariness from Ihe trip acted on me like drug, raulelte woke me up in lime (or breakfast and snort walk through the sur rounding countryside.
