lll iAFS Exchan tudent Serving perhaps more than any other medium to bring about better understanding between American students and their counterparts in Europe has been the foreign exchange student program, now in its second year at Morningside. Sponsoring this worthwhile program at MHS and other participating schools is the American Field Service. The AFS selects and makes all traveling arrangements for both the American students going abroad and the foreign stu- dents coming here. Helen Gast became the first MHS iunior to act as an exchange student when she had a two-months all-expense paid stay in Germany last summer. During this past year, Miss Gast has spent much of her time relating her Euro- pean experiences to eager students and adults through assemblies, club meetings, and personal conversations. E1 Participating in the other phase of the AFS program this past year as a foreign exchange student has been Jorgen Sterner, from Gladsaxe, Denmark, who became an immediate success after coming to MHS at the beginning of the year. Among other things Jorgen has gained through his visit to the United States is an understanding of student govern- ment, the friendship of many students, and the first-hand knowledge of the American way of life which is so im- portant for us to convey back to our European neighbors. The good-will visits of Helen and Jorgen, as well as those that will occur in the future, are made possible by the contributions of willing students and interested adult groups who must raise a combined total of more than SlO00 each year to continue this proiect.
