r' . Q 4 nrmgn 7 xnhztnge Since Central adopted its Foreign Exchange program in l955, the American Field Service has sent yearly to Europe at least one Central Student, who acts as an ambassador to a foreign country to promote good will and to exchange ways of life. Drucilla Mu-nson had the pleasure of spending an exciting summer in Helsinki, Finland. Drucilla's trip began at Montreal, where she boarded a ship which carried her to Holland. From there she traveled by train to Finland. Her hosts were Mr. and Mrs, Olli Virkkunen and their daughter Kaisa. Drucilla collected most of her happy memories in a summer lakeside cottage five hundred miles from Helsinki. Ruth Bunby, a senior, traveled from Auck- land, New Zeland, to spend a year in LaCrosse with the Milton Hoglund family. The daughter of a civil engineer, Ruth was prefect of her class in Auckland. Her interests are varied. Loving music, she plays clarinet and is an outstanding member of the school band. Enjoying all sports, she joined Dolphins and Orchesis. Other organ- izations of which Ruth is a member are Y-Teens and Student Council. A popular member of the student body, Ruth was chosen to be homecoming queen. A strange and seemingly difficult poi dance, common to the people of New Zeland, is performed by Ruth Bunby. Dressed in a Finnish costume, Drucill-a Munson displays souvenirs collected during her European travels. Q X. C45 fi ? S LQ Si l K s l 5 It ig!

Collecting cap and gown rental, choosing the commencement speakers, the D.AR. representative, and the baccalaureate speaker, purchasing graduation announcements and personal cards, and planning the social climax of the senior year, the senior party, are other duties. Chosen by the entire senior class, the class officers who presided over the meetings for the year were Roger Griffin, president, Phil Miller, vice-preside-nt, Tom Campbell, treasurer, and Retta Kurth, secretary.
