China, she expiained. ''but they
should. I always keep myself full
but I think ! overdid the job on
Thanksgiving."
!n relation to her speedy investi
j ture shortly after arrival at college
{ the young lady remarked: "Two days^
! after ! arrived at college, the girls
} said. 'Can we?' 1 said 0 K.' They
got out the scissors and off went the
long hair I'd had since 1 can re
member. That was the first step in
making me look like an American
girl and I'm feeling more ard more
like one every day." She now wears a
permanent.
On Full Scholarship
She is the only member of her
family in this country.
Still living in Peking are her
mother, her father, who is a profes
sor of journalism at Yenching Uni
versity in Peking, two brothers and
two sisters. She was graduated from
high school in June and received a
full scholarship to Annhurst from the
Chinese Catholic College.
Even with the language difficulty
to overcome, she is ambitiously tak
ing a pre-medical course, majoring in
chemistry and biology. "! do not hive
too much confidence that 1 can ful
fill this hope but I am trying," she
said. "But. you should see her do
math!" Driane said.
Although Alice hesitates over cer
tain expressions, she speaks English
rather fluently. "1 don't really know
how to express myself. " she said. "1
studied English as my foreign sub
ject in high school and we did a lot
of reading and writing hut didn't
have much opportunity to speak it. "
Like* Socia! Whir!
But. after two months in this
country she is we!i ab!e to hold up
her end of a conversation. Certainly
enough so that she was able to have
a wonderful time at her first Ameri
can prom, the sophomore hop. Dis
carding the Chinese dress, she
stepped out in a white taffeta gown
and gold brocaded evening slippers—
felt tops in her new outfit — and had
the time of her young life.
"I love the American dress and
different styles," she said. "The tra
ditional Chinese dress is the same
year after year; close fitting and
short, mandarin collars and long
sleeves. The materials and colors are j
the only features that change. Here
you have so wide a choice of both
style and material that ! find it ex
citing just to look in the stores."
So American, So Free
"With my shorthair, a camels hair
coat, a sweater and skirt, loafers and
ankle socks I don't fel like the same
person 1 feel so American and so
free 1"
She sailed from Hong Kong in
September and spent two weeks in
San Francisco before flying to New
York. "Flying wasn't a new experi
ence," she explained, "but it was the '
first really long trip that I had ever
taken. My father was in the United
States on a visit many years ago, {
and he talked about the country so
much that it was familiar to me but
that didn't take away a bit of the ex- ,
eitement I felt when I finally got
here. Everything is so wonderful and
so different!"

19th Century Styled
Paper !s Published
At Village Museum
Sturbridge. Mass. — A newspaper,
nublisbed in the manner of the early
19th century, is ore of the recent
publications to be enrolled in the
Massachusetts Industrial Editors As
sociation.
The Village furrier, hand-printed
at Old Sturbridge Village Museum
and Craft Center, is unique when
compared to the rapidly-printed pub
lications represented in the associa
tion.
The newspaper resembles the for
mat of those printed around 1800
1825. It has been published ten times
during the past two years. David Du
quette. printing plant manager, hand
sets the type just as printers did
long ago. He prints the Currier on a
Peter Smith flat bed press. This press
was first used in 1820. As the press
has no mechanical help, each impres
sion is made manually, one at a time.
Visitors to the press observe the
printer's work on the ancient press,
and receive a copy as a memento. The
publication is edited by Leonard J.
Panaggio, who directs the museum -
publicity and promotion department.
He is assisted by Mrs. R. Bertrand
Leduc.
The M.l.E.A . which is also afHli
ated with the International Council
of Industrial Editors, is composed of
editors of publications printed by in
dustrial concetti-. The museum feat
tures a hand crafts program. Potter-,
weavers, a metal smith, gristmill
operator, blacksmith, printer, cabinet
maker, furniture finisher and a
candle maker demonstrate to visitors
the early skills of pre-industrial Xew
England artists and craftsmen. The
craft shops are open year-round to
visitors.
The museum, currently comprising
26 historic buildings and functional
craft shops and mills, will open its
fifth season next may 14. It is located
on U.S. Route 20. midway between
Springfield and Worces er. and at the
eastern terminus of Route 15, the
Merritt-Wilbur Cross road system
out of Connecticut.
