A. ES. DURING the annual International Weekend, sponsored by the American Field Service Organization, students of both North and South schools were hosts to fifteen foreign exchange students. Edie Back and Mary Ellen Ross, hardworking A. F. S. officers, spent many hours making sure the event was a successful one. At the beginning of the weekend, Friday night, May 3, many open house parties were held. The events of Saturday took place at the North high school. In the morning WINS news editor, Jerry Landay, spoke about the Peace Corps in Africa. The lecture was followed by a box lunch after which everyone joined in discussion groups. Subjects discussed were: socialized medicine, population explosion, the Common Market, and a universal language through music, art and humor. At 4 o'clock there was a picnic sponsored by the G. O. The program included many games, all types of dancing, singing with guitars, and entertainment supplied by Jon Sholle, Alan Senauke, David Spiegel, Bruce Paclit and Andy Milman. On the following day, Sunday, a farewell brunch was held. A. F. S.: First row, left to right—M Rosenberg, S. Alpert. M. Ross. E. Back. S. Susman, J. Quat, M. Fisher. A. Caine. Second row—L.

S. international weekend, followed by the G. O. picnic, was another successful event sponsored by the organization. The G. O. attempted some innovations this year with only limited success. These included vacation bus trips to Desire Under the Elms and The Pirates of Penzance. In an effort to solve the age-old prob- lem of school spirit, the Boosters were formed, add- ing to the general clamor at basketball games. The after-school lectures, with Mr. Love, Mrs. Rapoport, and Mr. Lincoln, were generally accepted as being one of the G. O.'s more popular contributions. G. O. SALESMEN: First row. left to right—L.
