AF Mean Action HA Full Schedule was on the A.F.S. agenda The American Field Service Club introduced the new school year with a cupcake sale on Back-to-School Night, Then the next weekend saw A, F, S, members leading a door -to-door money drive, which gave the community a chance to know about this club at Foothill. The annual Christmas dance came next, with many students helping with the numerous phases of organizing a dance. A few weeks after the dance, students experienced an in- ternational Christmas party with the other A, F, S, clubs and foreign students in the Grant district. These clubs met again in the spring for a picnic and barbecue, And always there were many foreign students visiting or attend- ing schools in Sacramento to meet and talk to. All year there was a full calendar of events and activities for students in A, F, S, to par- ticinate in, Some of the students who enjoyed these activities were, top row: K, Cervelli, P, Balaszy, D, Ferguson E, Kingsley, B. Kouw. 2nd row: R. Kaye, K. Lee, T, Neil, L, Frank, J. Pelzel. Kneeling: C. Gros- beck, A. Carstensen, M, Antilla, D, Henry, C. Savage.

and ractical roj ects C, S.F. members spent most of their time furthering their vast expanse of knowledge in science, English, math, his- tory, etc, - or so they say, It would be the turning point of Foothill's club history to find these students actually study- ing, This group enjoyed smorgasbord dinners, snow trips, hay rides, and other studious activities. To relieve their self-centered conscious, the C, S,F, whizzes also helped students who had been ill for several weeks with their school work and guided lost parents at Back-to-School Night and Open House, These incredulous students were able to do all this, and more, along with keeping up a 3. 5 grade point average with at least three solids. Amazing, isn't it? Five seniors fformer C,S,F, members E, Olsen, D. Anuszewski, L. Lowery, B. Gibson, and G. Rioloj decided there were better things to do than study, and they formed the C,S,F, Drop-Out Club fabove lefty.

Attending Foreign Schoolsw was a lot ofwork and fun as everyone who has had the experience of being a foreign ex- change student would say, including Nira DeBarros and Jill Lowery. Nira attended Foothill for the '69 -'70 school year, coming to us from Fortaleza, Brazil, as Foothill's first fe- male A, F. S, student, She was a regular student in high school and attended rallies and studied and ate during ltmch hour, but she was also a special student because she was an important part of the A. F, S. exchange program, In this role, Nira received gifts and awards and spoke at assemblies and different meetings. Jill Lowery was the first student to represent Foothill High School in a foreign country, Jill lived in South Africa during the summer of 1969. She brought back an authentic South African warrior shield, which she presented Foothill. Being an exchange student was an unfor- getable experience for both these girls.
