Foreign Exchange Student Virginia Hora Through the American Field Service, which strives for better relations between American students and students of foreign countries, Virginia Hora of Baguia, Philippines, enrolled as a senior for the 1959-60 school year. The Luverne High School student body is grateful to the many interested civic and community groups for the formation of the 15-50 Club. It was through the generous efforts of this group and the high school student council that Luverne was again able to host a foreign exchange stu- dent. Arriving in Luverne August 4th, Ginny , as her many friends called her, resided in the H. L. Smith home. Her two American brothers, Dave and Mike, did their best to make up for the lack in quantity as Virginia came from a family of eight children. She was an active student in L.H.S. being a member of Girls Glee Club, Mixed Chorus, and student council. Some of the year's highlights for her were being a member of the homecoming royalty, seeing snow for the first time, and her American Christmas. Ginny. who impressed everyone with her sincere kindness, plans to continue her school- ing and become a nurse when she returns to her Asian nation. She is anxious for many of her Minnesotan friends to visit her Philippine home. We are grateful for the chance to meet, know and share our senior year with Virginia and wish her the very best in her future endeavors. Virginia, our visiting princess, is shown here with her fellow royalty. Ginny looks very sober as she receives her diploma from Mr. HoI sen. Ginny is pictured above with her American family, H. L. Smith's. Below she is pictured in her class with her many classmates.

Administration Laying the framework upon which the year's activities were built were forty-five hard working individuals. Including everyone from Superintendent Eitreim to the assistant cooks in the lunchroom, this group formed the administrative staff needed to run the mechan- ics of Luverne High School. They decided upon the curriculum, formulated the school's policies, and saw that all activities complied with these policies. In a world that demands conformity, Luv- erne High School remains distinctly individual --not always because the students desired it, but because an administrative force seeking to keep Luverne High School standards and practices up to Luverne High School's ideals remained true to its purpose. 19
