Making the world a little smaller . . . The purpose of the American Field Service is to create greater understanding between the world’s peoples by bringing foreign students to the United States to live and study for a year. This year’s exchange student is Rodney Stavert from Southsea, England. Rodney has easily fit in with American life, and is especially active in school functions. We hope that Rodney will bring back with him to England a good impression of the United States. The Americans Abroad is an outgrowth of the A.F.S. program, formed by the returnees of the program who wanted to give U.S. students the same opportunity to live and study in foreign countries. John D’Ostillio and Karen Johnson have been chosen as candidates for the Americans Abroad program this year. The A.F.S members for 1966 are D. Dake (pres.), W. Tramposch (v. pres.), J. Cooper (sec.), E. Hauenstein (tres.), R. Stavert (exchange student), J. Fieberts. G. Duefrene. M. Billig. R. Swasey, R. Atkinson. J. Rus- sell, P. Campbell. M. Desmond, B. Gerathy, B. Gus- taitis, K.

The Masuk High School Chapter of the National Honor Society is based on four precepts: Character, Service, Leadership, and Schol- arship. Its goals are to fulfill the precepts; that is, to encourage character development, to stimulate a desire to render service, to promote leadership, and to create an enthusiasm for scholarship in the students of Masuk. The Masuk Chapter of the National Honor Society, advised by Miss E. Eleanor Smith, holds its Induction Ceremony each spring. Sopho- mores, juniors, and seniors with a scholastic average of eignty- eight percent or better are eligible for membership. Juniors and se- niors are pinned at the induction, but the sophomores are proba- tionary members until the following fall. Their pinning is done at the Faculty Tea, which is prepared by Honor Society members for the Masuk faculty and administration. Rewarding scholarship . . . Steve Gudas ends his probationary period in the Honor Society as he is pinned at the Faculty Tea. 24
