-I L Ll- 4 This year the foreign lan- guage clubs combined to form one group. For its first year the club was involved in numerous activities. Home- stead students were able to enjoy the food and tradi- tional dress from other Countries when members sponsored International week and the International Dinner. Wontons, tatos, and chariot wheel cookies caught the interest of hun- gry onlookers. During the second semester students from Latin America came to study at Homestead and the club helped them to get acquainted and feel at ease. Mrs. Letson as advisor, helped the club through a successful year.

This year, under the guidance of Mrs. Lyon and president Kathy Graham, IRC spear-headed the annual UNICEF trick or treat and collected almost 5400. They packed books from the district and sent them to the Asia Foundation and VISTA. They also sponsored the Sixth Annual International Dinner, sold UNICEF Christmas cards, and sent 'IO students to participate as Nepal in the Model United Nations at the University of California, Berkeley. Andria Wilson Heusenstamm, Germany Hello! My name is Andria Wilson, l'm from Germany, where, I live in a little town near Frankfurt. When I arrived in the Unifedf States in August, my impressions were, I think, the same as evegryg tourist who has come here for the first time. The dimensions seemed so much larger. I just loved the landscape with all the beautiful plants, and enjoyed the long summer. In Germanyflvfi had a cliche picture of the American teenagers. I though girls wore lots of makeup and tight pants, and the boys were tall foot- ball fans, had a big smile, and a crew cut. I was quite relieved to find that this is not always so. I really enjoy being here and hope a lot of people get the lucky chance to be foreign exchange stu- dents, and that these people are as lucky as I am to come to a place like this, , 73 A U t L.. .-n.

The head dele- gate, Kathie Graham, lead the goup in getting reso- lutions passed and com- peting for high recogni- tion. Homestead repre- sented Nepal, a member of the security council, which provided the group with added interest in their studies. Members of, the delegations were also able to meet students from other high schools, as social activities were also a part of their three dayexperience. 'TI 'CP C Qi 4.
