Spon- sored by the American Field Service were Roger Carey fEnglandJ, Nopadon CNapD Noppakhun CThailandJ, Eeva Ruohonen CFinlandD, and Maria Felix de Sousa fBrazilD. Sponsored by the Youth for Understanding program were Gabriele CGabyJ Sack CGer- manyb and Biruta CBibiD Trankalis CSwe- denj. The interests of these students were varied. Gaby preferred art, while Maria chose Eng- lish and Nap chemistry. Outside of school the kids seemed to be very active. One could always see Gaby at games and other school activities. Roger was the cartoonist for the Tower staff. Bibi's hobbies included skiing while Eeva enjoyed sewing. Last summer, Sue Beyer, Gary Enzmann, Irving Ingraham, Ellen Martin, Mary Mc- Leod, and Carolyn Westhoff were sent to dif- ferent countries. Three other students spent last year abroad.

Students practice foreign culture Students experienced international culture and relations through a variety of organiza- tions. German Club members went to the Inter- national Institute and a German restaurant to get a feeling for the country. Members also went Christmas caroling in German, at- tended the tree burning at the Farms Pier, had bagel sales for the A.F.S., and heard Gaby Sack, the German exchange student, speak about her country. Carolyn Westhofl, president, and Mrs. VanderSchaaf, adviser, helped the club enter a float in the homecom- ing parade. The Russian Club members spoke Russian during their meetings. In addition they did plays and folk dances, held Russian dinners, and saw films on Russia. Members went with the German Club to the International Insti- tute and created a Russian dance to stomp the Bears for the homecoming parade. The U.N. Club this year represented Burma, Jamaica, and Nepal in the model U. N. at U. of D. at the end of March. Through- out the year the students researched the countries so they could represent the foreign policies correctly. Curt Leibbrand, Richard McLaughlin, Bill Noren, and Richard Rubin, all juniors, represented Finland at the general assembly at Georgetown. Bill Noren, Richard Rubin, and Curt Leibbrand are three of the four who represented Finland in the model United Nations at Georgetown
