New Friends W hat's the weather like in your country? What do the kids do to nave a good time? These are the types ot questions that exchange students are asked. They are also faced with the diffi- cult task of comparing their country to the U.S.A. This is one of the reasons why the exchange programs are so selective. I don't want to go back now, said Christiane Marmelstein before she went back to Brazil in January. Peter Xissis from Greece, and Johan Aschan from Sweden spent the duration of the year at Madi- son, and they, like Christiane, look forward to returning to America as soon as possible. 1 AFS club; FRONT ROW: Tom Jones, Lyn Budde, Frank Noble; SECOND ROW: Ms. Steinmetz, Mary Mang, Susie Fernandez, Sandy Coleman, Kim Manning, Ann Gladney; THIRD ROW: Libby Herold, Ron Banks, Michal Barge, Paula Kotakis, Mara Pollack, Johan Aschan, Shelly Houston. 2 Shelley Colbert and Shelly Houston listen intently to discussions at an AFS meeting. 3 Ms. Steinmetz relaxes during a pic- nic at Balboa Park. 4 Peter Xissis from Greece. 5 Johan Aschan from Sweden. 6 Christiane Marmelstein from Brazil. 7 Carlos Mantero from Costa Rica and Pierre Neuray from Belgium.

New Life i A nother Oysterman Con- cert . was the crv at one of this year's first AFS meetings. And at the end of the concert, when the money was counted, AFS had bare- ly broken even. Fortunately, the penny race with Kearny's AFS was a smashing success. It takes a lot of money to finance as AFS stu- dent, according to Tom Jones, and we devote a great deal of our time to that. AFS also tries to bring speakers to our school that will ex- pose the students to new cultures and ideas. Pierre Neuray of Bel- gium and Carlos Mantero from Costa Rica experienced the many unusual customs of American youths, and in return gave the Madison students a small picture of life in their countries. 168 A.F.S.

Just Roman' Around If your idea of entertainment is running around in a toga, eating grapes, and acting like a Roman, then perhaps you should join the Latin Club. Of course, knowing how to speak Latin is somewhat of a necessity, but not a requirement. The purpose of the Latin Club is solely for the pleasure of its members, and, according to their sponsor, Mr. Robinson, the enthusiastic support of all of our mem- bers made our events exciting and fun. The first annual Latin Club candy sale earned the club enough money to make their banquet, the Ides of March Orgy, a great success. The Romads also jour- neyed to Balboa Park, or Mt. Olympus, for a Roman picnic. They may not have seen any gods, but they all had a good time. In addition, the club sponsors the annual Tug-of-War pitting teams of Madison students against one another across a pool of mud. Ask any noble Romad how they enjoy the club and they will say, Unum Magna Tempus Multae! 1 Club members read Latin Transcripts. 2 Mr. Robinson supervises a Latin Club meeting. 3 Latin Club members watch a presentation. 4 Latin Club: LYING: Jim Mather; FIRST ROW: Bill Wilson, Tami Laiuppa, Dale Camp, Bruce Dixon, Audrey Gorman, Jim Bartley, Tina Elmore, Ann Edminson, Carol Vestal, Donna Bradley; SECOND ROW: Ann Gladney, Stephany Shriver, Candyce Eckoff, Mark Evans, Anna 8rown, Miles Johnson, Scott Bronson, Mark Gerber, Gregg James, Claude Olson; THIRD ROW: Tim Byrne, Melodic Doolittle, Denise Sinfield, Madeline Magill, Tracey Meyer, Anne Marie Newcomb, Jim Telfer, John Chancy, Andrea Villa, Roger Brown; FOURTH ROW: Kent Zboray, Carrie Bronson, Anne Lochner, Laura Snow, Lori Dick- inson, Julie Greenwood, Joy McDonald, Roger Bowman, Donard White, Mr. Robinson, John Munoa.
