Helping raise money for future proiects, Kathy Van Thielen sells school supplies to Don Borin at the AFS-YFU bookstore. ' iiseis W It :,f.f1ffi.',Sws'i., - The AFS committee, headed by Holly Alfs, and the YFU committee, headed by Janice Poplack, are responsible for all the activities dealing with the foreign students and the ex- change program. Once a month the committees meet socially or to plan fund raising proiects for that month. Raising money for the foreign program by no means stops at the individual monthly projects. Every day before homeroom in the morning and during the entire lunch period, members of the committee sell school supplies in the AFS-YFU bookstore, to aid their funds. Throughout the year the two committees do various things honoring our foreign students. Among these are the annual Christmas dinner held at the Community House for all the foreign students in Birmingham, and the annual Christmas assembly held at Seaholm iust before Christmas vacation. At this time the committees are able to share an American Christ- mas with the exchange students. However, the exchange stu- dents also express their good will to Mrs. Darling by giving her a Christmas present from them. Another big responsibility of the AFS-YFU committees, at least of those members who went abroad the previous summer, is to screen the juniors and seniors who would like to be an American exchange student abroad. Presenting the Christmas gift from the five foreign exchange students to a grateful Mrs. Darling, are Kris Nurmikari and Oriana Zapata. 57?

Fund drive sponsors Foreign students Every year for many years Seaholm has put on a drive to raise money to sponsor AFS-YFU students for a year in the United States. In past years a drive in which each homeroom had an individual project ranging from car washes to rattles was held. lt was only last year that the AFS-YFU com- mittee organized a candy sale with the hopes of gaining greater profits with less chaos. This year marked the second annual candy sale making the individual homeroom proiects optional. Candy representatives from each homeroom met with representatives from the Heath Candy Company and the Ross Candy Company to try the candy and to choose which candy Seaholm would sell. As last year, the Heath candy was chosen. On March 10, the candy arrived and the olticial sale began. Enthusiastic salesmen sold over 310,000 worth of candy, of which Seaholm retains a forty-one per cent profit. Leading the sales, the sophomores sold over half of the total amount of candy sold by all three classes. With such ambitious salesmen the candy sale will continue to be a success. Helping unload the boxes of Heath candy from the truck are volunteers from study halls, three of whom were Tom Louzecky, John Rifenbark, and Gordie Lamb.
