In addition, this organization participated in and sponsored numerous programs throughout the school year. Meeting every other Wednesday after school, under the advisorship of Mr. Edwin Osborne and leadership of Christopher Bond, the Student Council sponsored a foster child, held the annual Christmas dance for H.H.S. graduates, and ran the welcome refreshment stand during last year's football season. One of its major activities was raising funds for the School to School plan through which a new school in South America is being built. It was a very successful year! Bottom Row: Hare, R.

varied means of expression- Boys' and , Girls' State , Enthusiasm ran high as politics came alive for students across the nation, Boys and girls entered the campaign trail, elected officials, and set up their own respective Boys' and Girls' States. From these mythical states, sponsored by the American Legion and Auxiliary, Senators Michael Rade and Susan Harris gained invaluable practice in American citizenship through active participation in government processes. Debates, lectures, entertainment, and recreation were mixed with the heat of political activity and contributed to the value of the experience. 3 i Rade, Harris. Model U.N. i And, in this picture, we are saving the q Q35 world! -Well, maybe not quite, but the ' United Nations is trying. The main pur- ' pose of the Model U.N. is to help students become acquainted with the workings of the full-scale United Nations. With the help of their sponsor, Mr. Edwin Osborne, participants studied the world as the Venezuelan delegates of the Latin Amer- ican Bloc. Perhaps the difhculties they encountered helped them understand the many troubles in the world today. Bottom Row: Sampson, Meloy, Lillie, Mr. Osborne, Leonard, Rade.

That's what four seniors and five juniors from Hamburg, under the direction of Mr. Charles Teague, competed for this April at the Syracuse Citizenship Confer- ence. Their grades, various test scores, recommendations from school authorities, and a variety of school activities qualified these students to compete in the all-day conference. The final selection of recipients was made at the conference on the basis of prepared and impromptu discussions and speeches. Again, as in the past years, Hamburg representatives distinguished themselves- Calkins, Mom, Harris, Minka, Lillie. Bottom Row: Mr. Glor, Fleming, Miller, Bowman, Mr. Teague. Second Row: Rade, 21

for old and new friends alike. Augusto Bellolio Pannee Thamrak Foreign Students In the American Field Service tradition, Hamburg again welcomed especially interesting foreign students. They soon became enthusiastic additions to Hamburg High, entering into school activities and speaking before community groups. Pannee Thamrak, hailing from Thailand, endeared herself to all the school. Her lively, fun-loving manner, and her great fondness for sports and ice cream won her many friends. Adapting easily to Hamburg life was Augusto Gus Bellolio from Chile. His readiness for fun, portrayed in flashing eyes and gay spirit, brought smiles from all, especially the fairer sex. His zest for life made him a popular ambassador of good will. Exceedingly friendly people and exceptionally good food marked Sally Webster's summer in France. Sally returned from her eight week Experiment in International Living with a new awareness of our many blessings, and with a lasting friendship with her French family. Was it worth it? She has already decided to apply again. Under a special program of the U.S. State Department, Laos' Vong Bannavong, came into our school with a ready smile and remarkably good English. Eagerly participating in paper drives, dances, and other school activities, and satisfying his insatiable curiosity about Hamburg customs and weather, Vong made many friends.
