Page B-4 COMPETITIVE SCHOOL REPORTING PROGRAM SPONSORED BY THE FREDERICK NEWS-POST IN COOPERATION WITH AREA SCHOOLS Toeriay, April 21, CHS STUDENT HOSTS ENGLANDERS-Miss Jo- Anne Curry, center, a sophomore at Catoctin has been host to Miss Christine Remon, left, and Miss Paula Jean Vacher, right. Student Hosts Girls From England By ROXIE AUBOL High School A Catoctin High School' sophomore and her family have had their household graced by the presence of two young ladies from "Jolly Ole England." Miss Christine Remon and Miss Paula Jean Vacher of Chingford, in London, England, have been guests of Miss Joanne Curry daughter of Mr.

and Mrs. Harok J. Curry of Orchard Drive in Thurmont. Miss Remon and Miss Vacher, who are both 16, are two of ten young women, eleven young men, and three leaders, who have been touring three cities of the United States with the American School and Youth Exchange. Traveling from England by airplane for the first time was quite an ordeal for those Englanders.

Chris and Paula were on their three-week Easter vacation which began on March 23 and continued to April 12. Before arriving for their stay in the Frederick area, the girls toured the cities of New York and Boston. While in New York, the girls were housed by the "Hotel McAlpin" on 34th Street Such places as the Empire State Building, the United Nations Building, and the Statue of Liberty were seen during their stay. Paula and Chris took a boat trip to Manhattan Island. In Boston, Chris stayed with a family of five children in Lexington, while Paula lived with a smaller family in North Redding.

The girls visited Concord, the North Bridge, the House of the Seven Gables and the home of Louisa May Alcott While in Frederick and staying with Joanne in Thurmont, the girls attended classes at Catoctin High. The two Englanders both liked Catoctin High as a school itself, but Paida did not care for the system of teaching and Chris did not like the timetable. Miss Remon said, "The students of Catoctin High and the United States are very lucky because their schools aren't strict" Commenting on the school system, Chris and Paula both noticed the modernization and larger size of U.S. schools in New York, Boston, and Frederick, compared to their own William Morris Senior High. When asked which school she Paula replied, "They're two completely dif- ferenty types of schools, operated by two entirely different school systems.

I do like the freedom of American students." Both Paula and Chris agree that the non-dress code freedom of iiiany American schools, is acceptable for our country, but they insist that it would never work in England. They both feel that there would be too much competition between the girls. Miss Remon and Miss are required to wear a set uniform consisting of a black or navy skirt, white blouse, navy tie, navy cardigan with either a crew neck or v-neck style, and black or brown shoes. In the winter they must wear dark colored coats. Chris and Paula find competition among their fellow students in skirt and shoe design.

The two young Englanders were given complimentary tickets to Joanne's sophomore class dance, which was held on April 3. This was quite a different type of dance for Paula and Chris because their schools in England do not sponsor dances. Chris and Paula attended a trip to Coiumbia, a modern urban development in the Baltimore-Washington area, with the social studies classes of Catoctin. Their tour of the Frederick area included visits to the historic Gettysburg Battlefield, Mt Olivet Cemetery and points of Presented John Phillip Sousa Award interest in Washington, D.C., the U.S. Capitol, the Washington Monument, the White House and the Smithsonian Institute.

On Friday, April 10, the British students and their host families were guests of a covered dish supper sponsored by a troop of Girl Scouts from Frederick at the YMCA. After the supper the girls attended a dance held at the Thurmont American Legion. Miss Remon and Miss Vacher were featured on George Wireman's radio program, "This and That" on WTHU radio of Thurmont The girls presented their opinions to the Thurmont community. They were presented autographed copies of Mr. Wireman's book, "Gateway to the Mountain." Chris and Paula are both fifth year students (or equivalent to a U.S.

eleventh grader) at the William Morris Senior High School, which is a comprehensive secondary school similar to our own public high schools. Miss Remon's subjects in school include English, math, history, geography, chemistry, French and Domestic Science. Chris lists her hobbies as dancing, visiting interesting places, reading, pop music and fashion. She enjoys drama and ballet Miss Vacher's school schedule consists of classes in math, English, French, commerce, biology, and chemistry. Paul's hobbies are needlework, stamp collecting, swimming, watching football matches, reading, and writing to her pen pals.

She enjoys music and drama. When asked her opinion of the town of Thurmont, Chris commented, "Thurmont is a beau- tiful countryside. It's unimaginable. We couldn't blieve it. The weather is very pleasant." Paula said, "There is lovelj scenery in the Thurmont area.

There is nothing like it where we come from. Thurmont is less populated than Chingford." The trip to the United States cost the girls 90 pounds or the equivilent of $216 in U.S. dollars Paula and Chris raised their funds by working around their homes and getting weekly paj over a year and a half period They deposited their earnings into a London bank and through interest, enough money was earned to finance their trips. "Having Chris and Paula as my guests has been an exceptional experience, filled with both education and fun. I learned a lot about England." "Without the girls whole house seems empty.

They really seemed like my own sisters. I plan on going to England to visi them in the future," Joanne commented. Both Chris and Paula hav formed positive opinions of the United States. Chris remarked "I think the United States is a country of very friendly people I don't like New York. America is a very pretty country." Paula rendered, "I agree with Chris.

The United States has very friendly people and is a very pretty country. New York is a dirty place. It's untidy There's continual Neither Chris or Paula wantec to return home to England and they both promise to return one day! -tf Catoctin High School senior, Beverly Davis was presented me second CHS John Phillip Sousa Band Award at the spring concert, held on Tuesday, April 14.

Thomas Johnson School, Miss Harriss is among 161 women to affiliate following deferred rush. many children living in suburban and metropolitan areas today who have never been to a farm, seen a cow, held a chicken, or petted a lamb.

In recent years, the number of children who have never had the experience of visiting a farm and touching a farm animal has greatly increased, while the farms that can offer this experience are rapidly disappearing. Each new housing development means fewer farms. Yet, thanks to the University of Maryland College of Agriculture's See and Touch program, these metropolitan children now have the opportunity to visit a "farm!" This spring, through the University's See and Touch program, over 16,000 children will tour the campus barns and see typical farm animals, and even touch them if they want to! For many of them, the See and Touch program offers their very first contact with farm life and farm animals. When the program was started 10 years ago, most of the children came from local schools in Prince George's County, and a few from Montgomery County. Today, the See and Touch program also includes children from schools in Howard, Anne Arundel, and Baltimore Counties and Baltimore City, as well as the District of Columbia and Virginia.

Answering the children's questions is their most difficult task, especially when the children want to know such things as how the first cow "got born!" While touring the dairy barn recently, one little boy was carefully examining a large cow, when he raised his hand. "Where are the he asked. Trying not to laugh, the guide explained that eggs come from chickens, not cows! During the tour of the barns, the children see both beef and dairy cattle, horses, pigs, and a mother sheep and her twin lambs. From the barns, the children go to the poultry building, which is often the highlight of the tour, as each child may hold a baby chick, and watch eggs hatching in an incubator, In the poultry building, they also see "Mother- Hen," As the tours end and the children head back for the buses, you can see bits of hay and feathers clutched in their hands as souvenirs of their day on the "farm" a day that will not be forgotten for a long time. Through the See and Touch program, everyone is a little bit richer.

And one little boys knows that eggs come from chickens, not cows! nessee State University.
