('beryl (CENTER, FRONT ROW) took part in a tour of Iran. The group included exchange students liv- ing in Iran and their foreign brot hers and sisters. added by Jefferson exchange students Cheryl Arvold was chosen by the New' York AFS office last spring as an Americans Abroad student. She left for Iran on June 20 and returned September 3 complete with slides and an Iranian accent. The country was so beautiful and my family and all the Iranians w horn I met went out of their way to really make me feel welcome, Cheryl remarked. Cheryl s Iranian sister was Parvin Minoo. In addition to Parvin, Cheryl had two other sisters and three brothers in her family. One brother, Parviz, visited Alexandria in March w hile continuing his studies in the United States at the University of Oregon. Helen Taylor of Bega, New South Wales, Australia, was Jefferson’s AFS student for the past year. During her twelve-month stay, Helen lived with the Harland Angen family. Sue, Helen's American sister, was a senior at J HS. Commenting on Jefferson, Helen said there were mans things she found hard to get used to. Helen’s school was smaller and had modular scheduling. The shortened lunch periods were also difficult to adjust to. During her stay, Helen enriched and enlivened our school and community, leaving those who met her with a definitely favorable impression of Australia and its people. Thinking of home. Helen? 11

Luis DeMitri from S.S. Ju Juy, Argentina, attended Jefferson on a Rotary scholarship. As a member of Interact, the Rotary spon- sored young men’s club, Luis became ac- quainted with many of the students at Jef- ferson. Throughout his year in the United States, Luis stayed with various families for three-month periods. The American school system seemed rela- tively easier than that of Argentina, Luis felt. In his country, students must carry twelve subjects per year. When he returns to Ju Juy, Luis will have six more months of school to complete. As our foreign student, Luis has contrib- uted to the culture of Alexandria and his stay will be remembered by all who knew him.

Jim Woolliscroft, Dave Filers Publications established The Aiexian staff has had an interesting year learning to plan and assemble this yearbook. Editors Kathy Toft and Mary Benesh, with advi- sor, Mr. Luther Anderson, attended yearbook workshops in Minneapolis and St. Cloud early this fall to examine other yearbooks and attend lectures given by journalists and editors. Sixteen pages have been added to the Aiexian, allowing extra room in which to experiment with new layouts and to incorporate many more can- dids. By using only four divisions, and making ev- ery facing page a unit, we feel there is greater cohesion. A common goal of compiling a quality annual unified a staff of varied responsibilities. The task of the editor-in-chief was one of coordination — to answer the seemingly endless problems of the staff, and to ensure that the three publisher's deadlines were met. As photography editor, Mary Benesh planned many pictures and arranged photogra- phers’ schedules. Larry Perkins and Dave Eilers took pictures planned by the staff as well as many excellent originals. About 10(K) man-hours w ere spent by the staff, writing copy, choosing photos and planning pages. 1 tried. Jim “ 12
