Guest speakers were the Reverend Mineo Katagiri and President Gregg M. Sinclair. Thomas McCabe gave a brief report on the London Youth Conference held eaiiier in the month. The celebration was climaxed by a dinner from 6 to 9 p.m. at which time a colorful program was presented. Corporal David Livingston, formerly president of the American Youth for Democracy in New York, was guest speaker at the dinner. The Hawaii Youth for Democracy, a campus organization in the making, was in charge of the International Student ' s Day celebration which was sponsored by the ASUH.

Commit- tee workers were Vivian Ching, Margaret Danley, Carolyn Ogata, Nathalie Smith, Margaret Awa- mura, Irving Johnson, Rosebelle Kekuewa, Richard Kuykendall, Beatrice Nosse, and Shieko Okazaki.
