They will be leaving Îor Australia in August oft wa Rotary Excbiange Students are unofficial goodwill am- bassadors and Mr. Brandi pointed out that these yount ladies are very weil suited to show bow cbarming and deligbtful: Canadian girls are. Since bis induction in 1954, George Vice bas had,20 years of perfect attendance at Ro- tary. 11e was presented witb a pin in honor of bis achieve- ment. Anneke Van Vuuren, the South African excbange stu- dent, wili be leaving Jan. 2nd, for a week's holiday in England before retur ning home to Ballengeich, Natal, S.A. She gave bier farewell speech to the Rotarians. She was introduced by Ted Mann wbo was one of Anneke's hosts during bier stay in Canada. He commiented on ber ready smile and bubbly personaiity which bad endeared bier to ail of bier bost families. The Rotarians were treated to arn ple doses of Anneke's wit and cbarm as she recalled bier happy experiences witb eacb of ber host families. She spent three rnontbs eacb witb, the Fred Bosmas, the Neale McLeans, the Ted Manns and the Merrili Browns. One of the greatest changes for Anneke was the scbool. She remembered bow frightening B.H.S. had seemed to lber when she arrived. "For the first week I bated it," she iaugbed.o Now she professes herseif srry to be going home because she bas made 50 maygood friends bere. Anee had graduated fromn bigb scbool before comîng to Canada se she took only courses that interested bier at B.H.S. She bas learned some Woodworking, Typing and French this vear but lier main educational experience bas been in learning the customs of the Canadians. She spent some time teiling the Rotarians of tbe five trips she bad taken this year in North America. A visît to Ottawa was especially me- morabie not for the parlia- ment buildings but for thbe film "The Exorcist" whicb she saw there. She remembers staying awake ail nigbt in, ber hotel room because she was 80o frightened. On bier trip to the Maritimes witb -the BH.S. band she was named officiai nurse andl trouble-maker by Mr. Tremeer. She accom-, panied Rotarian Ted Mann and bis family on their trip 10 Minneapolis-St. 'Paul wbere the International Coniference of Rotary was heid. Here, she remembers the warm fellow- sbip of Rotary. Her trip to the west coast was important to bier- because she learned a great deal about Canada, but she said 'that it was quite lonely going on sucb a long trip atlone. She bas just returned from a trip to Florida and the Bahamas wîtb -the Merrili Brown famýily. l Apparently bier visa was not valid for tbe Bahamas and she wa nly, allowed in tbrougb the inugence of a kindiy customs officer. Anneke's next big tri p wili be to England and ul tîmately borne. Aside from pizza, one of Anneke's great loves is sports. She recalis fondly the seven new sports she bas iearned in Canada. She bas seen botb hockey and basebaîl piayed professionaiiyl and also parti-, iîpated in foor hockey and ýàasketball., ,The scbool was the place Anneke found the greatest change from bher native South Arca. The laborate build- in' ali comfortabiy centraliy heated, and the lac k of sebool uniforms were the most out- standing features. She also note4 that the construction of Canadian homes witb their bàsements was very different from tbe dwellings aI borne. She, was surprised by the bigb cost of living in Canada but ýnoted that Canadian incomes were aiso very higb compared to South African wages. She found the degree of in dependence of Cana dian teenagers remarkabie. Due to the cheap labor available in South Africa, it is difficuit for students to get' jobs. In Canada,, most of the young people Anneke met bad part- time jobs wbicb gave tbem a freedom unknown -in South Africa. .Anneke ýthankeàl the Rotar- ians for a Wonderful program. "Student ýexcbanges are a very meaningfui. way to foster international ,understanding", she said. She will neyer forget bier Rotarian friends and her wonderfui experiences in Canada. Sbe is also proud to have been able to explain the South African position to Canadians. $lie made some practical suggestions for improving details of the program but on tbe whole she feels it is very worthwbile and a great oppor- tunity for any young person. She is going home to encour- age hier friends to take advantage of similar oppor- tunîties. As Anneke finisbed bier remarks, tbe Rotarians stood in tribute to a cbarming young lady who had touched tbeir bearts. Neil Newton tbanked Anneke by readîng two littie pieces is daughter Noele had written to say goodbye to Anneke. It is evident that Anneke will be missed by everyone. President Aif Allin followed Mr. Newton's re- marks by'presenting Anneke witb a g if t as a ýtoken of the esteem the Rotarians bold for hier. President Allun concluded the meeting witb bis -thought for the day. "The difference between a conviction and a pre udice is tbat when you explain a conviction you don't get angry.'
