tudents come from around the world Foreign exchange this year consisted of teens from various parts of the world. The students came from as far as Africa and Australia. There were seven ex- change students who came to Alhambra this year. The students who came were open to life and wanted to find out as much about life as they could and make theirs better. They were all remarkably nice people with many of the same hopes and dreams of teens in America. Because the exchange students were similar to American teens, they were very adaptable and extremely open with the people they met. The reason most students chose to come to the U.5.A. was to learn how people in this country lived. In becoming a foreign exchange student, they helped promote better world under- standing and peace. for A if rf A V r i .

'Y . Boys!GirIs State learning Americanism Boys and Girls State was a program of education for citizenship. It was sponsored by the American Legion Auxiliary and was open to junior girls and boys. Its purpose was to educate students in the duties, privileges. rights, and responsibilites of American citizenship, in order that they may un- derstand and participate in the func- tioning of their government, and to help them grasp the meaning of some of the responsibilities which they must assume when they become adults. Alhambra was one of the l4l high schools represented at Boys and Girls State. The entire assemblage became a mythical state which functioned ac- cording to the laws and procedures of the state of Arizona, taking the basic laws as their guide. They instituted their own city, county. and state gov- ernment by electing their own offi- cers. Qualifications met to participate in Boys and Girls State were that they did not participate in previous ses- sions. They must have been of the fin- est character, must have had out- standing qualities in leadership, and met acceptable standards of scholar- ship.
