She became fluent in Dutch and had no trouble with the language 20 years later on her return and had classes in music, chemistry, history, botany, English, speech and dramatics. The school was organized much like an American college, she explains, with some subjects taught only two or three times a week. There were not as many activities as at Manti two or High School three dances and some assemblies. The principal sport was soccer. She had a Dutch boyfriend, whom she saw again, after 20 years. He has a wife and two children now. During her first visit, the De Boers took her on trips throughout Holland and to Belgium. She hopes to do the same for them next summer.

This year is a special year for the Dutch, Kay says, because it is the bicentennial of their renewed relationship with the United States after the colonial period when they lost New Amsterdam to the British. To mark that bicentennial, Holland this year sent 1,000 students to the United States. One of them was Marian who attends the Dutch high school that Kay attended and who spent the month of July with the Willardsons. Going back to Holland, Kay concludes, was just like yester- -' day.
