Sparkling lights, dazzling rock melodies, and the amazing impersonations by Paul Whammo Amundsen lured thrillseek- ers to the American Field Service talent show. One of the many fund-raising projects for the American Field Service, the talent show held in October captivated its audi- ence with musical groups and creative skits. Selling bonds and Valentine's Day carnations also helped to finance next year's slate of transfer students from for- eign lands. An active girl whose interest in people caused her to become interested in the AFS program, Solange Simoes visited Highland Park from Pados de Minas, Bra- zil. A member of Round Table, Tri-Hi-Y, Y-Teens, and Young Life, she enjoyed taking an active part in the community affairs of Highland Park. Solange lived with the families of Regan and Angela Tower and Laura and Jeff Barnes. Highland Park senior Susie Turner returned in September after two months living with a family of five in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Although she had a wonderful visit, her experiences made her an extreme nationalist, appreciating all that our nation has to offer.
