The weekend of October 23-25 saw seven Dwight girls and seven Dwight Morrow stu- dents hosting American Field Service students of Bergen County. On Friday night there was a party. On Saturday evening Lesley Gore gave a benefit performance, and on Sunday afternoon the Dwight hostesses sponsored a barbecue. During an assem- bly on January 8, A.F.S.ers participated in a panel discussion. In late June Dwight girls will again host A.F.S.ers from all over the country in Operation Bus Stop. During our weekly meetings we explored in depth through research and debate problems facing New Jersey, the U.N., Red China and many of the world ' s trouble spots, including, of course, Viet Nam. In conjunction with this, Senator Wayne Dumont Jr. spoke to a combined audience of Dwight and Englewood Boys ' School. To round off the year P.D. Club members participated in a mock House of Representatives at Temple University and saw two interesting movies, To Die in Madrid and The Eleanor Roosevelt Story. 86

Social Service COCIAL Sen ' ice Club is for girls who want to help those who are less fortunate than them- selves. This year our first project was to give a Halloween Party for some of the young children at Memorial House. We then washed, wigged, and clothed dolls in time for Christmas for the chil- dren at Memorial House. For our spring project we decided to associate closely with D.S.O. in their project. As our aim to help others is the same, we felt that by uniting our efforts we could achieve greater success. We also held many delicious bake- sales throughout the year to raise money for our activities. All in all, we feel this year was a success- ful one. particularly with the help and advice of Miss Lay, our adviser.

' T ' HE Ethical Discussion Club, originated during the later half of the school year 1964-65, swelled to astounding proportions in September of 1965. Its goals have been described by The Human- ist, [The organization} is an attempt to bring to- gether [individuals] who are looking for answers to life ' s problems. How do we develop personal and social ethics appropriate to these revolutionary times? How can the world be changed to meet the needs of people who are learning to define their aspirations? How do we stimulate creativity? How do we define man and the balance between free- dom and commitment? What is our response to a changing society? In addition the club has succeeded in bringing together students of varying social and religious backgrounds. The diverse opinions stated force members to search beyond the accepted answer for a universal truth, and where one cannot be divined, it teaches the student to accept uncertainty.
