Greek Teacher Visits W. H. S.
Windber High School is fortunate in having Mrs. Helen Haralambopoulou, a teacher from Greece, here for a period of one month.
Her visit is being sponsored under the Fulbright Plan, as a means of promoting better understanding, among nations. She was in Wisconsin before coming to Windber.
While in Windber, she is living with the Bounds family. In America she has come to like television and apple pie. Her favorite Greek dish is durmadas. They are similar to our pigs in the blankets, but grape leaves are used instead of cabbage and are filled with some type of meat.
She is the mother of two boys and has a sister who is a doctor specializing in pediatrics who is coming to Chicago.
Mrs. Haralambopoulou says that American people are richer than Greek people, because we have cars and they only have maids.
Mrs. Haralambopoulou, who is a teacher of French and physical' education in a girls' school, pointed out some of the differences between school in Greece and school in America. Their school begins at 8:00am in the morning and goes until 1:30pm with school on Saturdays. There are five or ten minutes between each period for recreation. Periods are usually 45 minutes long. Classes are not co-educational.
There are three types of high schools: The classical, which one must attend if he wants to continue his studies in a university; the vocational, and the commercial. In these high schools all subjects are compulsory. The students have no choice of subjects, and there are no study periods, but pupils spend from three to four hours on their work at home.
The subjects taught are French, Latin, Greek, Modern Greek, English, physics, history, math and physical education.
Greek students enjoy languages and try to learn as many as possible. They also have folk dancing, basketball and volleyball for the girls.
The boys have football and the Boy Scouts. Students are not permitted to chew chewing gum or put their pencils behind their ears. A girl never goes to a dance alone, but must be chaperoned by her parents. Boys can marry only when they finish their studies at the university, if they have chosen to go there, or if they have jobs.
Linden Hall in Lititz, Lancaster County, is the second oldest Girls' school in the United States. |
