Student Council Involved With AFS Students Lack of student interest is holding back the progress of stu- dent council ' said Jeff Zeeb. For example, at one meeting not enough representatives were pre- sent to form a quorum. And before that, there weren't even enough members present to hold a meeting. President Jeff Zeeb expressed his concern for the students. After talking with several teachers, Jeff found out that many representa- tives were not assuming their responsibilities. To provide and outlet for students' opinion, stu- dent officers opened room 13 be- fore school. Officers were available to talk with students about any problem or complaints, but accord- ing to Darrell Williams, the idea did not work out. No one came into the student body office; stu- dents act like they don't care. All we do is sit and wait, but nothing happens, he said. Two exchange students joined the student body. Estuardo, one of the full-time exchange students, stayed with the Gene Streight family In Turner. Estuardo is from Guatemala and is the oldest of the six children In his family. Ben Mahlalela stayed with the Clayton Seaton family. Ben is from Mater Dolorosa High School in Mbabane, Swaziland. The student body also hosted seven more exchange stu- dents from Costa Rica. STUDENT BODY OFFICERS: Sergeant at Arms Terri Jones, Treasurer Linda Elder, President Jeff Zeeb, Vice President Darrell Williams, Secretary Karen Ward. 28 Student Body

Spanish Club Greets Costa Ricans I think Spanish Club is a great opportunity if you've been in Spanish for at least a semester. It's fun and I've been able to do things I normally wouldn't. It has also gotten me interested in the Costa Rican exchange program ' said Cori Glidewell. Spanish Club held a welcom- ing party for the five exchange students, their host families, and friends. This also included a going- away party for president Michelle Thomas. The get-together in- cluded punch, cake, and cookies, a sing-along with guitar music from member Mike Robinson and exchange student Jose Arias. Ini- tiation was held for those who wanted to join the club. Before returning to Costa Rica, the exchange students put on an assembly for the student body. They told about Costa Rica's his- tory and customs and showed slides of the country. Jose Arias and Anna Camacho demonstrated ex- hibition dances that are danced on holidays and special occasions. To finish out the year, Spanish Club attended the annual Spanish Club dinner in Eugene. LEFT: Michelle Thomas and Wynne Aldrich serve Jose Arias at reception following initiation.
