There are many groups that sponsor exchange student programs in Grosse Pointe. Among them are the Rotarians, the World Council of Churches, and the American Field Service. Their common goal is to promote peace through the understanding of the world ' s youth. Candidates for either summer abroad or actual semester participation in an- other country must meet the approval of the school selection committee and then pass national qualifications. To be an exchange student, either from American schools or to American schools, an applicant must have a strong academic record with at least two years of a foreign language. Good health is a definite prerequisite. Personality quali- fications include the ability to adapt quickly and easily to different situa- tions, human understanding, maturity, and intellectual ability. Both our representatives in other lands, and visitors who come here from abroad find the exchange programs of mutual benefit and understanding. Sharing international experiences in a panel discussion at a student assembly are left to right: Elizabeth Birkett, Ann Hock, Sherri Bockstanz, Helga Hipp, Don Owens, Mike Eliasen, Jane Evenden, Karen Johannsen, and Mike Simson.
