Each of the seven small groups, called cell-blocks, were directed by one club officer and a cell-block leader. Monthly awards to the cell-block with the best program of activities kept club enthusiasm high. Political speeches and a United Nations parade made ICOWA's annual U.N. celebration unique. During the week of October 24-28, third Congressional District can- didates Charles Whalen and Rodney Love presented their political views to the community in two public meetings sponsored by ICOWA. In order to display the club's U.N. float, members also participated in a U.N. parade, walking behind the float from the high school to the Town and Country shopping center. There the float was exhibited throughout the day. Community service constituted a large portion of ICOWA's program of activities. Club members, with brooms in hand, eagerly took part in stadium clean-up after all home games. Much time and effort was also expended in door-to-door collections for cancer and multiple sclerosis. Membership in Centervi11e's ICOWA was selective, being open only to juniors and seniors with a C aver- age. Applicants Were also required to Write a theme stating their reasons for desiring membership and showing a definite interest in world affairs.

The band and Coeds presented the half-time show in her honor, per- forming such songs as Consider Yourself at Home, San Francisco, and So Long, Farewell. In support of the AFS program, students purchased AFS stock and stationery. Other fund-raising projects for future foreign exchange students included a wishing well for contributions and the high school Christmas formal, Ye Olde White Christmas. The profits made from the proiects were given to the adult AFS chapter. The money will help defray the expenses of next year's exchange student. t
