In the last ten months, I have spoken at several schools and clubs around Knoxville about Australia. I have discussed my impressions of the U.S.A. and the A.F.S. program. Now, however, as my year at Webb draws to a close, I have started to think a little more about what A.F.S. means to individuals, the Townsends, the students at Webb, and, of course, me. Everyone likes to think that the world revolves around him. Thus it came as something of a blow to my ego to realize that my year at Webb will have little lasting effect on the school. When I arrived in Knoxville, I discovered that the previous A.F.S. student was Rosa from Spain. Although I didn't think much of it at the time, it comes as a shock to me now to realize that, in three months, I shall be Leo from Australia. I understand that A.F.S. is a large organization and necessarily impersonal. I feel that I have had an effect on the life styles of the students at Webb, a little on some, and a lot on a few like the Townsends, They won't forget me, but the memory will fade, and their lives will go back to normal. The fleeting effects I've had on the teachers frustrated by my lack of work and on the students I've met will also fade. The memory won,t fade for me because this year has been the greatest experience of my life up to now. Now, seeing how much effort Webb students put into this fair, I realize how much A.F.S. means to this school, and I want to thank the A.F.S. club and everyone involved in the carnival. I feel now that the real value of A.F.S. is in its long-range effects on a school. And I'm proud to be Leo from Australia. 110 Left: Top to Bottom: Nancy Mont- gomery, Secretary, Trinka Crossley and Audrey Townsend, Program Chairman. Below: Bo Townsend, President.

The Social Committee Has Everything It Needs Despite a limited budget, the Social Committee managed to provide various dances and sock hops throughout the year. Headed by seniors Jay Newlon and Trinka Crossley, the committee decided at the beginning of the year that frequent, informal dances or sock hops were needed, especially after football and basketball games. Often these dances were more like parties with card playing and records than dances. However, one time the committee went all out and brought in a disk jockey from WKGN who not only provided music but also gave away prizes for a dance contest. The bigger dances of the year were the Football Dance, the Christmas Dance, and the Twirp Dance, which were presented with music from Mojo and from Una and His Big Legs. Most of these dances turned out quite successfully. Attendance was high, particu- larly at the Twirp Dance, where the movie Doctor Jekyll and Mr. Hydel' was shown. Many thanks go to Mrs. Brindley, whose support helped many of the dances get off the ground. Nor will the Social Committee forget the helpfulness of Mr. Lee and Mrs. Waterman. The committee would like to give special recognition to Annetha for the Spartan greeni' punch, which has become a tradition at Webb dances. Over all, the dances this year were not always profitable, but they served their purpose in bringing the students together to have a good time. . . . a lot of student enthusiasm Rf? at A it ik is 112 ACTIVITIES A Q QT?
