CC Walk Together, T elk Together The growth of the American Field Service is attributed to the interest and participation of many people. Suzanne Shenfil, whom we sent to New Zealand, and Elizabeth Gopez, our exchange stu- dent from the Philippines, are but two of many who make possible the bonds of friendship across the oceans and around the world. Much personal value is attained by being an exchange student in another country-adjusting to a new school, meeting people, making many friends, assuming new responsibilities, and experi- encing a full year of growing up. Elizabeth will share with her friends all of her personal expe- riences and gains, the countless little happy things, especially the football games which I know I'll never have a chance of see- ing again. In a farewell note to Suzanne's New Zealand friends she wrote about the bond of kinship between your land and mine, our hopes for the future so closely combined. V Beth gives a smile of satisfaction as another day's work is complete. le such as Mr and Mrs Contributing to the success of the American Field Service are peop I - - . Hetherington. They provided a fine home for Beth. joe, Jim, and Sherrie accepted her as their other s ister. 128

Participation: F ormula Cf Success A diligent worker, Randy Harris, served as president of our Senior class, but that is not all he has done. Randy was always in the middle of many activities, including past class events, student government, drama productions, and music. He was the drum major for Bell Vista's marching band, and was also an excellent trumpet soloist. These and many other things qualify Randy as be- ing the deserving and outstanding student that he is. Four years have elapsed-four busy, exciting, frus- trating, and rewarding years have entertwined in our lives. They have prepared us for the new world which we are now entering and have set the courses for many of our lives. Some of us may begin working, starting a family, or traveling. Others will continue their educa- tion in higher institutions of learning. Wherever we may turn, however, we can all look back at those valuable four years that have contributed so much toward our future. Our freshman year at Bella Vista was our first big step. A new way of life opened up for all of us. This was our adjusting year, recognizing the many fields of study and social activities that were available. From there we began experimenting and taking ad- vantage of the opportunities for personal and scholastic development. The class work and homework often seemed tiresome and overbearing, but looking back upon those years brings to mind the realization that it wasn't without purpose or reward, Maybe it was that one certain person you saw between classes every day, a well de- served grade on that term paper, or perhaps those foot- ball games and dances which seemed to balance out work and recreation. Whatever the memories may be, we shall always look back and recall those wonderful and beneficial four years at Bella Vista. United They Stand -proof of the successful and memorable past four years at Bella Vista.
