This year the Lennox chapter was elated to have two of their members, Christina Chronis and Barbara Neyra, selected as finalists for the AFS Americans Abroad program this summer. Their biggest disappointment was the lack of an exchange student at Lennox this year because housing arrangements could not be found. Most AFS activities involve students from chapters in schools throughout the district, where members have an opportunity to meet exchange students from many countries. 82 AFS Sponsored by Lee Hayashi Under the leadership of President Rita Camberos, the AFS calendar is packed with good fellowship, fund raising activities, and fun. A Halloween party, progressive dinner, beach party, and pancake breakfast provided active socializing. The group also sponsored AFS Days on the Lennox campus. Other student officers were Elina Mosquera, vice president; Irma Burgos and Barbara Neyra, secretaries; Jeanine Broschart, treasurer. Much of the club’s vitality lies in the steady, caring sponsorship of Mr. Lee Hayashi, with strong support available from Mrs. Ann Debban and Mrs. Lianna Parra.

“Just to be Close to Yow’’ ... This was the theme of the annual Christmas dance sponsored by the Pep Squad. In the words of chairman Ruth Culqui, the theme means “‘to be close in Christmas spirit with the one you love.’’ A mirror ball, tent of crepe paper streamers, crystal vases with flowers, candlelight, and whimsical wall decorations transformed the cafeteria into an especially romantic setting for this major social function. It was all a fitting send off to the holiday season. David Haygood and Connie Daugherty (1) seem to be keeping close to the Christmas dance theme. Todd Wadman became known as the “‘tape monster’ while helping Diana Richards and Jackie Palmer with the decorations. (2) Dance chairman Ruth Culqui and escort Mirko Merencio (3) obviously enjoy the results of the long hours of work and planning Christmas Dance 81
