Among the essays read Thurs day night at commencement ex ercises in Memorial Methodist Church at Quarryville was one by Eike on “My Year at Solan co.’’ But for a review of his home history, Eike stopped by the Lancaster Farming office. Arriving in Lancaster County Aug. 1, 1955, Eike was sent to the Clyde Kreider farm near the Buck for a somewhat differ ent life than that he found in Geormany. Yet m Lancaster County he found a German, back ground that was of great as sistance, “so the change was not too' bad,” he told. (Bom in Stuttgart, he and his family moved to northern Ger many to the city of Luebbecke in the province of Westphalia, where his father is an attorney at-law. Westphalia is the home, he reminded, of famed West phalian hams. His father, Ort win Grevel, and his mother, Vera, were perhaps a bit con cerned about his trend for homesickness, yet his school year here has found no trace of that ailment. Three More Years Although he has received his diploma from Solanco, as, his supervising principal advises, “a definitely above average student, he still has three more years pf high school in Germany before he wins his diploma there Five years are spent m elementary school, nine years in high school “the last three are like col lege here.” the cordial youth told, “then I hope to go to the University for six years.” That adds up to 20 years’ schooling, compared to the 16 it takes for grade school, high school and college here. “School was not difficult here, but activities were new,” Eike told. “I enjoyed that so much,” he added. “Grades? I made some A’s, some C’s, and averaged a B.” Two years of English helped immeasurably when he arrived here. But in addition to English and German’ Eike will have had at least five languages before he finishes high school again. Nine -years of Latin is one -of the required high school courses! Here: Body and Mind These extra-curricular activ ties. That caught Bike’s eye! “Over home there are no sports. I like this much more. There they build your mind; here they build body and mind.” All sports clubs are private. There are no athletic activities, no aft er-school activities that please the student and make the par ents ponder. Five weeks m England and Scotland, helped bolster Eike’s English. Then a bicycle journey left is the grand champion female,' Run nymeade Buxom Maid 243rd, that topped the sale at $3lOO to Dal’Bairn Farms, Pine Plains, N. Y. Standing at the halter is Warren Putnam, manager of Lowell M. Birell’s Echo Falls Farm, Inc., Meeting House Road, New Hope, Pa. (Lancaster Farming Staff Photo). two years ago through France, a comer of Italy, Belgium, the Netherlands, Austria, and Switz erland helped broaden his languages. By bicycle’ Driving Mn Gei- many is definitely a luxury A man’s status is estimated by the car not by the kind of car. Few can afford automobiles. You must be 18 years old to ob tain a drivers’ license and it costs $3OO That’s why he prizes his Pennsylvania license. Gas costs $2 75 a gallon but with auto engines of two to four cylinders, mileage is excellent. “We still use a lot of horses tractors are too expensive, the gas too expensive,” he con tinued “Farms average 10 to 20 acres, so the husband of the' household in Germany usually takes an outside job. Some farms in the eastern section, like that of his uncle, where Eike has 'spent considerable time, range up to 3,000 acres. There’s little chance for farm goods to be exported from Gei many. Seventy per cent of Ger many’s wheat is shipped in from the United States Gas must be imported from the eastern coun tries. “We sell more cars than we keep, into Europe, South Ai erica, North America-” Germany also produces fitie cameras, he reminded, and al ways Bike’s camera is at hand “We were in the British Zone,” the graduate related, “where it is mostly dairy, but we still had' to get cheese from Switzerland and Holland, butter from Denmark.” And there, Hol steins are pronounced with the long “I”. Some 20,000 students from, Germany tried out for the trip to America Only 165, including Eike, won, one from each dis trict. Wins Friends Everywhere It is interesting to note that his year here was' sponsored by the Brethren Service, and anoth er son of his host, Kenneth Kreider, is working in Germany with the Brethren service two years in the Heifer Project. There are two major religions only in Germany, Catholic and Lutheran Eike belongs to , the Lutheran Church. , “Thera was good experience in school life; I got a good und erstanding with people through the home, through the Mech anic’s Grove Church of the Bre them, through the school,” he told. Eike has won friends every where he goes. He has apjpear ed before many civic groups, and his talks have carried high interest and have been well re ceived by all. But he wants to take one long look at America before he goes back home “I want to visit out West, but that’s still a dream ” There may be some dreaming, but for a high school graduate who still has more high school ahead, you’ll find a lot of prac tical thinking has gone into his stay here, a lot has beer! learn ed, and Eike has shared' much with his hosts.
