Students criticized adults forfalse interest, lack of honesty,and over-protectiveness. Stu­dents also ,expressed their

"After a w'eekat Ravenswood,I came back feeling Cubberleyis the coldest and most imper­sonal school I have ever atten­ded."

- --Cubberley exchange stu­dent Robin Krinard.

"I really don't like thisschool. It's not as friendlyas our school:'

IHarriet McNair, NaxidineBrown~ Mona Goodwill, IrmaDillard, Jackie Jones, and Diane

Bundy, who visited Cubberleylast week reveaied surprisingopinions about this school.

In spite of some negative re­actions to Cubberley, all theexchange students felt that theprogram offered an invaluableopportunity to learn about otherpeople and schools, includingdifferent aspects of subjectsbeing taught by the schools.

There was some dissatisfac­tion with the program becausestudents were scheduled intoclasses for the entire week,which prevented them frommeeting as many people aspossible. The students, how­ever, heartily endorse the pro­gram with the hope that dif­ferent people and schools willget involved, and a system of

When askedwhy she wanted to enter theprogram, Troyarice replied,"There was no special reason,I just wanted to see what washappening." Asked her reasonfo'r participation in the ex­change, Robin answered, "I'went to Ravenswood to see whatit's like to be a minority."

Cubberley students were par­ticularly impressed with thefriendliness of Ravenswood stu­dents. "The people have aclose environment and friendsare made easily," noted' GlennMelosh while Robin said simply,
