Uf2!5fU1 2 AFS Funds Earned Bic cle Ramble Goals of the American Field Service Club of Kirkwood High School as stated in their constitution are as follows: To assume responsibility for the welfare of the foreign student in the school, to stimulate interest in the Americans Abroad programs, to cooperate with the local AFS chapter in all aspects of the program, and to explore other aspects of international living. . fi Before the 1970-71 school year, Student Council sponsored an AFS committee. However, lack of support and interest from S.C. members resulted in the formation of an individual club for the sole purpose of AFS. Commended by the AFS headquarters in New York, this small young club set out to achieve its goals. Despite sporadic meetings, the club raised enough money to bring another foreign student as AFS had previously financed the personable Noor Duraanee of Afghanistan. They also made efforts to help finance the Americans Abroad semi-finalists Lindsay Wright and Suzanne Gnaegy in case either became a finalist. In order to raise the 51,150 needed to bring a foreign student to KHS, the adult AFS chapter, the Kirkwood Police, and sponsor Miss Karen Kaufman helped initiate a fifteen mile AFS Bicycle Ramble which through the endeavors of over sixty participants and individual spon- sors earned nearly 51,000 for the cause. A regular and nation-wide money-maker. AFS Christ- mas cards provided additional funds as did the Red and White Day Donut Sale and the AFS Candy Sales. To spur further interest in foreign peoples, various exchange students visited Kirkwood AFS homes overnight and participated on the panel in the traditional AFS assembly held for the students of KHS.

Camera Club Develops Art Of Photograph Camera Club consisted of eight people wishing to learn b all they could about picture taking. They met once a Week to develop and print pictures and to exchange their ideas on photography with those of other members. Eastman-Kodak sent films and slide shows to the club so that the members could learn some of the finer points of photography. Subjects covered by the films included developing and printing techniques, travelogues, night photography, and processing color film. All equipment used by Camera Club belonged to the members. Selling pictures raised money to buy some of the equipment. Several years ago, the club decided to r make a movie, which is how Media began. Since then, Media has separated from Camera Club, forming a separate group of its own. Z ttf: 28 Camera Club TOP: Camera Club member Bob Borcherding examines his camera in preparation for reloading.

K f4 'n Wei? W re X' f lf! Environmentalists Stir Students' Awareness Clem, the wolf from the North American Association for the Preservation of Predatory Animals, helped publi- cize Environmental Problems Club, as well as their cause, as he demonstrated his domesticated nature for science and other interested students when he visited the school early in the fall. In its third year, EPC wished to do what it could to preserve the environment and wild life as well as awaken students and members ofthe community to the existence of the problem. The club, though small, continued the monumental task of recycling paper used in every room ofthe school. Periodically they took it to the Kirkwood Recyclatory. With the opening of the outdoor campus eating area, members decorated litter barrels in co-operation with Student Council so the privilege of outdoor eating would not be taken away because of careless litter. Bake sales stressing nutrition and bottle drives with handout sheets concerning the preservation of the envi- ronment financed various projects of the club. Then in the spring of the year, EPC planned activities which kindled student and community participation in order to com- memorate the nation-wide Earth Week. 30 Environmental Club ,X F s oc O TOP: Environmental Problems Club sponsor, Mrs. Parsons, and officers Barb Wolling and Karen Lichtenheld discuss their plans for selling seedlings during Earth Week in the spring.
