Mrs. Bigler enjoys the results of their seemingly endless efforts as the day finally arrives and the exchange students are here. IFC Promotes Friendship Between The International Friendship Club members donate their time and money to promote friendship between Great Valley students and international exchange students. This year members welcomed Andre Jantana de Carmago as G, V, ' s exchange student from Bra- zil; Mr. Arthur Grant from England, G, V. ' s first exchange teach- er; and Debi Page, who was in Brazil last year. Meanwhile, Deb- bie Crough has been in Bolivia for the 1976-77 school year. 1. F. C. members raised money in events including their annual hoagie sale in September, a bake sale in October, and a candy sale in December. However, the real work began with preparation for the International Weekend. Exchange students staying in the Phila- delphia area were invited to spend April 21-24 at Great Valley, Several dedicated members spent hours after school writing let- ters, scheduling students for classes, and organizing activities for the weekend. After much confusion and chaos, 26 exchange students repre- senting 16 different countries arrived for dinner on Thursday, April 21. After a special performance by the G, V. Jazz Band, members serving as hosts brought the guests to their homes. Great Valley students got to meet the exchange students that Fri- day when they spoke to classes about their countries. The rest of the weekend was just as busy with activities ranging from bowl- ing to seeing the faculty play to partying. Sunday was a sad day as the guests had to return to their American host families. All mem- bers agree that such a great weekend made the precious hours of work worthwhile. 1. F.C, officers Margaret Johnson, president; Miriam Hermann, vice-president; Mariann Webster, secretary; and Lisa Fortunate, treasurer, as well as Mrs. Bigler, sponsor, and hard-working members deserve thaaks for another successful weekend. Warren Lucinsky, from New Zealand, tries to teach Andre Carmago, Great Valley ' s exchange student from Brazil, the art of speech but Andre can ' t seem to get his mouth open.
