The would recommend it to others." The building is built in a square with a courtyard in the center, "in the Roman style," says Karen. The youth camp held for the exchange students was very good, says Karen. There were 50 students from 27 countries. While at the camp, the young people were kept very busy with sightseeing, tours, shopping. An interesting feature was street chess, says Karen. A large chess board was painted on the sidewalk and anyone could rent the two foot high chess pieces to play a game. For the last week of her stay, Karen stayed in Warrick, in Central England. At this home, she stayed with a girl from the Ukraine who had only three months of English. Karen says, "It was quite interest- ing trying to communicate." Seeing the sights of England filled five and a half weeks of the summer for Karen Procter of Brus- sels. Karen, 20, is the daughter of Frank and Dorothy Procter of RR 5 Brussels.

While staying with the Kell fami- ly, Karen travelled to York. This city is one of the few remaining walled cities in England. There were many historic build- ing and castles in the region for her to explore as well, says Karen. In travelling about this farming district Karen says she noticed a By Janice Becker few things: the narrow roads, three wheeled cars and a lot of motorcy- cles. This area has a large national park and the forest known as Sher- wood. Karen says some of the film- ing for Robin Hood actually took place in Sherwood Forest. During the tour she was shown a large sprawling tree with most of its branches supported by posts. Karen explains, "The posts are to help hold the branches up as they are all breaking away from the tree. The reason behind this is that some historians feel the original Robin Hood may have hid in the tree." The tree has been determined to be the proper age and the inside is hollowed out providing coverage. The next leg of the trip was a one week stay near Manchester. While there, Karen was taken to Halifax to visit the Peace Hall.
