to tour the South Eastern States, my sadness quickly disappeared and surely no group better earned the title of ‘The Happy Wanderers’. This tour not only gave us a chance to see the different states but more important, gave us a valuable period in which to compare notes and commend or criticise as much as we wanted, without having to smooth over our criticisms for American ears. Perhaps the most discussed subject was education and but for our comparison of views I might have come away with a very warped and wrong impression of American education. I found that the standard of education in each state differed as much as the geographic features, and in some states the students worked very hard even though I had found the work fairly easy in South Dakota. Many and varied opinions came forward on every aspect of our American year. Some praised, some criticised but one thing we all agreed on was that the deep impression made by the generosity and friendliness of the American people would remain with us for the rest of our lives. These are just a few of my experiences during this wonderful year as an American student. There is much to tell but this must be all for present. Kia Ora.
