FIELD SERVICE SCHOLARS
FOUR RETURN TO NEW ZEALAND (New Zealand Press Association) AUCKLAND, August 30* Four young New Zealanders, Alex Crowe, of Wellington, Sandra Scott, of North, Jane Park, of Dunedin, and Josie Schriffer, of Auckland, who left Auckland for the United States a year ago as winners of American Field Service scholarships, returned by Canadian Pacific airliner today. With them came the first two American Field Service scholars to come to New Zealand, Lynn Walker, of Belmont, Massachusetts, and Gary 1 Cadwallader, of Lincoln, Nebraska. These two will spend the last term of this year at Wellington colleges. Lynn Walker at Queen Margaret College and Cadwallader at Scots College. Both are aged 17. A year spent in the United States was worth several in New Zealand at university, said Crowe. A former pupil of Christ’s College, he attended high school at Darien, in Connecticut. He said that the school system, although it seemed more free and easy than in New Zealand, was soundly based and achieved excellent results. He found the Americans less formal, more friendly,' and more generous than New Zealanders. For all that, he said, their way of life was very much like our own.
