PAGE a HERALD AND NEWS, Klamath Falli. Ortfoa Sudy, December , 1(6 East Side . . . West Side . All Around the Tovn Happiest kid in town this weekend is Mikt Holman, son of Mr. and Mrs. Nick Holman, who live in Gwelo, Rhodesia. That's about 12,000 miles beyond the end of KU's longest school bus route. The reason Mike's so enthused is because they held a big pep assembly at the high school Friday and presented him with an athletic awards jacket. The "K" Club thought he'd more than earned it by banging heads on the Jayvee football team and giv ing it all he had. A few months ago he didn't know a football from a load of hay. In Rhodesia, Africa, soccer and cricket are big. Football no. "I'm turning out for basketball now," Mike an nounced in his rich and cultured British accent. He'll have a good go at "bawsketball," with Coach Bill Mans field and the Sophomore Wildcats, that's for certain. Mike Holman, left, and Lon Kollstrom Rliodeiian AFS lad proud of laHarman'i jacket Mike's making the very best of everything here be cause that's the whole idea of his presence in Klam ath Falls, U.S.A. He's the community's fourth Ameri can Field Service exchange student. The prime pur pose of the program is to bring young people from foreign countries here for a period of time to learn how we live, think, go to school and yell at the um pires. When they go home we hope they will say some thing good about us. Our youngsters do the same thing. Through application and selection they are picked and carefully Incidentally to represent America abroad. It's a great experience all 'round. ' j If you'U kindly check your maps you will find that Rhodesia is in the interior part of southern Africa. Gwelo is a town of about 10,000, according to Mike. If the sun shines bright there 365 days a year It hasn't affected the complexion of the youthful am bassador to Oregon. He's blond and the picture of a healthy Scandinavian just in off a downhill schuss. Master Holman lives with the Lyl Kellstroms down on Conger by the river. They became interested in the AFS program as a result of being good friends , of the Theodore Llndlayt, who made a home for tho only other AFS male exchange student, a lad from Italy. Two girls were here prior to Mike's arrival last August. Wo can report, without reservation, there is a warm feeling between the Kellstroms and Mike. "The Kellstroms are big" chuckles Mike. This is true. Lyle, head of the house, is a good 6', 6", one time basketball center for the Washington State Cou gars. The other Kellstroms run to tall. Betty, who is Mike's "mom" here, can't say enough good things about the boy. The feeling is mutual. Lon It Mlke'i buddy because they're nearly the same age. But Mike has a great time with the other Kellstrom boys, Scott and Todd. The kids have all kinds of athletic gear and stuff around the house and when you walk through their area you're somewhat re minded of the old days at the Y.M.C.A. Speaking of his associates at high school, Mike says this: "They're wonderful. They're so tremendously friendly. 1 realize my being an exchange student makes a difference but they're great!" "Do they kid you about your broad British accent?" we asked. "Yes!" he laughed. So apparently he doesn't mind. His dad teaches in one of Gwelo's four hle,h schools. In fact he's the principal at Thornhill. But here's one for the books: One of Thornhill's chief rivals 1 in Gwelo Is a school named Gulnae Fowl. What a project for the cheer leaders! We didn't get into the geography of Rhode Ma a great deal but we gather it is a farming country .nd not exactly run rampant with lions, tigers and 'hose big jumbos. Mike really likes his teachers, a list that includes rrl Rickabaugh, Luit Corrlgan, Ruby Alloway, Tom Vabtree and Darrell Boone. He was surprised when lie discovered the kids here greeted their instructors with a casual "hi!" as they arrived at class. "We always sav, 'Good morning, Sir!' " He seemed to think our way 14 best. But then sometimes you wonder. Young Holman would like to go to Camhridce or Oxford and take literature. "You have to be clever to pet In, you know." This would be in '65. In the mean time ho'll go back home next summer after a three week bus tour of the U.S.A. with other AFS students. Going back to the letterman's jacket presented him bv club president Steve Cimobell in front of a cheer in? full house In the KU auditorium, Mike said. "I'm really grateful. Please tell them how much I appre ciated it. It was a tremendous gesture." : Right-o and cheerio! Great kid.
