The AFS (American Field Service) club is fairly new at Black River High School. An organization comprised of students who aid the community chapter and help AFS exchange students feel welcome in our school and town, the club conducts many fund raising activities: entering a float in the alumni parade, selling raffle tickets, having bake sales, showing a Film, and selling international foods at the Christ- mas bazaar. Although a young club, they’ve al- ready been quite ac- tive. In 1981, Craig Hastings spent the summer in Istanbul, Turkey. Stephanie Wu is currently at- tending college (Ju- ly 1982 To June 1983) in Wales. And this year, the Hastings family is hosting a student, Salvador Lopez Toledo. Salvador, the AFS club’s first exchange student, comes from Oaxaca, Mexico. Arriving in July for the school year, he is having quite a time adjusting to the cold, but enjoys living here and attending B.R.H.S. He can usually be seen smiling and talking with friends, and was a welcome addition to the Boys’ Soccer Team this year. Mrs. Anne Mikhaleff. the club advisor, teaches French and English at B.R.H.S. Some of her hobbies, when she’s not too busy helping the AFS club, are: jog- ging, hiking, tennis, traveling, and her newly discovered joy, trying to play the piano. This is her second year as a teacher here though she had taught previously for 2 years in France. While in France she also studied at the Universite d’Or- leans in Orleans, France. She attend- ed Ohio University in Athens, Ohio, her original home 4
