JQ SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 29. 1963 , MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEW OKU. OKfcUU Foreign Exchange Students Discuss Their Impressions of U. S. 11 was to foster friendship and uderstanding between two coun tries that she loves Costa Rica and the United States-that Maria Isabel (Marisa) Castro, 18, chose to come to Medford on an American Field Service scholarship from San Juan, Costa Rica. That's the reason she gave and there is something about Marisa that makes it convincing. Pro moling friendship is exactly what she docs with every little mannerism she displays. Nature has helped her toward this goal. It would be difficult to doubt one with such persuasive dim plps and direct glances. Marisa is ine gin memunr w the team of American rieia Service students attending Med ford High school this fall on international scholarships. She enjoys a flattering contrast in the tall, bland Netherlander, Bart deBocr of Voorburg, Hol land, who comnletes the Amer ican Field Service duo here this year. Marisa is sponsored by Medford Rotary club and Bart by the Crater Lions. Both students are members of the senior class and while Bart frankly admits that going to school was never his hobby, both are getting along well, academically and activity-wise. Home In Medford Bart is making his home In Medford with the Otto Frohn mayers and son, Philip. Marisa calls Jill Hihbs her "American sister" when the two receive guests at the home of Jill's parents, Dr. and Mrs. Ralph Hihbs. The visiting sludents, their American brother and sis ter, and James Rowan, Med . ford's American abroad returnee in the American Field Service program of lfi3, enjoyed an In dian summer afternoon in the Hihb's garden recently. Discussing their reasons for seeking international scholar ships and their future plans, Bart said it was "certainly not to talk peace, peace" that he wanted to come to America "but to really learn about people." He likes to talk to all sorts of people and to know their views. He is interested in the problems of human society and eager to learn how Americans think on various subjects, partic ularly the education of children. Something More Serious While his first remark sounded on flippant tones, offered per haps for the benefit of his con temporaries, it was obvious later that there was something of more serious import beneath Bart's jest. Here, he Is studying public speaking, U. S. History, Amer ican Problems and English and he Is a member of choir. Dur ing the eighth period at school nL A (F:mmk la G3DQSB f"?45s2Si5 Lsa5w 5 it 4 .

There are boy and girl parties but no hieh school dances and there are al ways chapcrones present in the old Spanish tradition, even when a foursome goes to the movies. There are some high schools that are co-educational but the one Marisa attends is a public school attended by girls only. On Home for Lunch The students go home for lunch, the lunch hour extending from 11 a.m. In 1 p.m. They start. school at 7 a.m. and most classes continue until .1 or 4 p.m. and there are Saturday classes. Marisa:s dark hair is darker still, highlighted by ear rings, which she wears constantly. Girl babies have their cars pierced before they leave the hospital, she explained. Hart went to school from 8:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. in The Nether lands and from 7:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. on the Dutch island near Venezuela, where he enjoyed much . boating, swimming and water skiing. Asked if schools demanded home work, Marisa answered "yes." Bart hesitated over his "no," explaining that it depend ed upon the individual. Sludents arc graded by examinations, ex clusively, he said, and he did not no school work at home. Summer Activities Summer activities for hi(jh school students arc varied in the two countries, where students do not hold down jobs as many American high school students do. Considering taxes and other COSTA RlL'AN GIRL -Maria Isabel (Marisa) Castro, left, for eign exchange student from Costa Rica, visits her American sister, Jill Hihbs, daughter of Dr. and Mrs. Ralph Hibbs. he works on the Hi Times. He is enthusiastic about journalism and was editor of the school pa per when he lived in Curacao (Nctherland Antilles) from July, I!I59, to July, UIC2. Reluming to the subject with out his youthful audience he re marked: "We live so near the Iron Curtain. That's why I want to know how Americans think about their problems in the world and their attitude toward other countries. America is a more important country to us, especially for our freedom and safety. I want to understand Americans better than I do now." Studies Three Languages The Hollander has studied three languages, English, French and German, each for five years, along with his native Dutch, of course. He enjoys sketching and drawing and has played violin for five years. As a member of the musical Frohnmayer family, he has been "very surprised" by the quality of music in America. "All we get from the stales in Holland is chiefly Elvis Pres ley and his type," Bart explain ed. He also said he had not ex pected to find the interest so high in a Shakespearean testival and the Britt Festival of Music. He added that the movies that come to his country do not give the right impression of Amer ica. Maria agreed. She said shp liked the hot dogs, the hambur gers, all American foods, but found many more important things to be considered in Amer ica. Bart said the "foods upset" his digestion; then added that he probably just ate too much. The Costa Itican girl is taking home making, English (she Small Worlds Around Us By LYNN M.

Since the war, he was mented that "this peace thing i told, the German family has be-1 tries of the world today. There isn t emphasized but the desire to understand people belter," which, of course, amounts to the same thing in the minds of people who believe that only through better understanding can peace be achieved. Rowan enjoyed a visit with Jens Hansfeldt, who spent last year attending Medford High school. They met in Rotterdam and both wore Medford High school sweat shirts to quickly find each other in the outpour ing of 800 students from the boat. Later in the summer the whole Hansfeldt family visited Jim at the German home of Dr. and Mrs. Van Buttler. Summer Traveling The Medford youth spent most of the summer traveling in a group of six. They vacationed at the Van Buttlers' summer home at Elberberge, hunting and fishing. They went to Rotter dam and made a bicycle tour of lower Saxony. As part of the AFS program, he spent a week end touring the area around Hanover and four days in Ber lin, "the most memorable part of the slimmer, seeing Berlin and the Wall," he said. lie knew no German before he slarted abroad anil had jusl six days of instruction in the I language on the boat.
