Their primary function was to maintain an exchange of students here and abroad. Throughout the year, they helped strengthen international understanding and friendship. The club had several fund raising events during the year. The money was used to send our students abroad and to furnish aid to those students coming here. The adviser of the club, which met weekly, was Mrs. Melum. This year, the A.F.S. students were Maknum A'Shami from Ethiopia and Maria Alvarado from Guatemala. Mac, as he was nicknamed by the students, lived with Carl Hanson's family. Maria lived with Barb Brandt-ner’s family. Both Barb and Carl were juniors at BHS. Last year, Meredith Lee and Jeanie Diederich were A.F.S. students. Meredith spent the year in Germany and Jeanie spent the summer in Austria. Four students were selected as A.F.S. finalists this year and. if chosen as national finalists, may have a chance to spend either the year or the summer abroad. Sophomoro membors of A.F.S. wore: S.

It has been real fun to spend a year with you. and it was a wonderful experience, which will not be forgotten, ever. Thanks for all your heip. Maknun A'Shami Dear Bloomington students. It has been for me a wonderful experience to be in such a nice, big community and school as Bloomington, and I hope that in future years many exchange students get to come to Minnesota, as I did.
