Rotary Exchange Student Writes From Holland

t Sees Queen
: 52 Not many people these days
see a queen passing in a golden
coach, but Annabelle Ambrose,
in Holland on a Rotary Exchange
program, saw the Queen and
aal the Royal Princess on their way
rk, 4 3
to the opening of Parliament.
a The two hour wait was tiring,
A but Annabelle says it was worth
te it, even if she did have to stand
on a box in order to take pic-
1 tures. Annabelle, a Westmore-
land graduate, is daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Francis Ambrose,
Elmcrest.
Here is Annabelle, herself,
as revealed in excerpts from her
letters:
When the boat pulled out I felt
sad of course!. Being homesick is
sort of feeling sorry’for yourself.
Actually there is nothing to feel
sorry about. It is like a long week-
end stay—you are glad to get home
when it is over, but, don’t mope
around wishing | you were home.
Of course I miss home! You don’t |

the people in the carriage had a

They had cows, pigs, and other
animals the same as we have at the

I have a new school after all! The
ground floor is the parking area
for bikes. They sit in racks. The
students walk down steps and wheel
their bikes down ramps. The school
has two Gymnasiums (one over the
other), both of them are bleacher-
less. Plate glass windows cover the
sides of building. Played basket-
ball—want to join a team. Teams
are not part of the school program.
The girls play boys rules and are
very good. ;
Teachers smoke in school. Black-
boards move up and down for easy
writing. In Gym we have tumbling
and strenuous exercises. Tell Miss
Jenkins to pep up those exercises.

come along the streets on her way
which opens on the third Tuesday
of September. The Queen and Prin-
cesses go in carriages. Huge crowds.
For a Gulden Mr. Bregman bought
me a box to stand on so that I
might see and take pictures. He is
sweet. It was a very hot day and
ice cream business was tremendous.
We waited two hours for the Queen
to come by in her golden carriage,
but it was worth it. After seeing
the Queen we had something to eat
and then took a tramway to Mad-
urodam near Scheveningen. Medur-
odam is Holland in miniature. You
walk around something like a minia-
ture golf course and see buldings,
to England to study English. We
are driving to Ostend, Belgium. From
there we sail for London. I can
hard wait to make the trip as I am
going with them.
September 19 - Dr. Bregman and
I went by bus to den Hague. Beauti-
ful homes on the way reminded me
of the homes on Pioneer Avenue.

ours. Many people

tumes. Loads of places for tourists

Zuider Zee. It was really beautiful
Outside they had baby chicks ir
the yard—inside, a sunny little room
in the middle of which was an
aquarium with fish. The ceiling above
it was by a sundome. Cats were
sitting around it. Dinner was served
in bowls and you helped yourself.
In another room, which was dark
and lit by candles, were old music
boxes, purses, pianos etc., Very neat!
After this we went to the beach
for a swim.
They have a lot of Dutch Street
Organs in Holland which are very
beautiful. They never cook in
churches over here as we do—so
they never have church suppers. I

The Trip To England
On our trip to England we left by
car (the Bregman family and I) at
2:30 a.m. We drove to Ostend, Bel-
zium, where we left the car, In Bel-
zium I saw quite a few beautiful
houses with large lawns and some
with two cars, I also saw American
factories, Frigidaire, Libby's, Ameri
can Gas, Mobile, Shell, Gulf, Esso.
A lot of gas statons had nicely kept
gardens. These were mostly in Hol.
land.
We went under the Ghent Tunnel.
It’s quite long. There were beautiful
farms past Lokeren and Zeeburg,
We reached Ostend at 11 a.m. The
Belgian border was easy to cross.
I didn’t need a passport.
