Friendship and unity promoted by exchange lt is my earnest hope that my stay has benefited the school as well as myself. These were the words Erich Koenig, l.F.K.'s exchange student from Aarau, Switzerland, used to express his appreciation of American hospitality. The A.F.S. Club dedicated itself to maintaining the exchange fand to continuing it next yearl. The cIub's membership tripled from the few interested students who founded the organization last year. Soon after the election of officers, plans for fund raising activities began, bake sales, coffees houses, a VVINX Wobbler game, breakfasts, and Christmas card sales were held to raise the 51,500 needed to have a two-way exchange next year so that others may say, lt has been a great experience for me.
