Name change for brown baggers The long overdue name change for the American Field Service Club occurred with great success this year. The Student Exchange Club is the new name of this organization. The majority of McMinnville High School’s exchange students were from organizations other than AFS, such as Youth for Understanding and Rotary. In the past, many of the students from these organizations felt they did not belong in the AFS Club. For this reason, the name of the club was changed so that it would be representative of all organizations. The advisors for the club are Mr. Doug MacGregor and Mrs. Pat Jones. This year’s exchange students came from three different organi- zations. Michael Harms and Jan Christian Philipp, Germany; Tiina Maija Hietanen, Finland; and Sa-toko Sakakibara, Japan were sponsored by YFU. Rotary sponsored Outi Leena Sarimaa, Finland. Glenn Spicer from Australia was sponsored by AFS. The only McMinnville Student to go abroad this year was Linda Combs, who went to New Zealand. The Student Exchange Club welcomed anyone who wished to attend the meetings, and had a membership of about 25 people. The club had “brown bagger” meetings each Wednesday during lunch. These were informal meetings which included guest speakers, visiting exchange students from other schools, and slide presentations by exchange students of their home countries. The Student Exchange Club participated in many activities this year. They began with a pot-luck to get to know each other. The club ran two concession stands at the home football games. Money earned from these concession stands went to scholarships for future exchange students and to the Greg Robertson Memorial Fund. At Christmas time the club held a progressive dinner. Throughout the year students visited and hosted other exchange students in the area. On March 30, the club served coffee at the AFS dessert and on March 31, presented a program planned by Glenn and Outi, at the Foreign Language Banquet. Other activities planned were get togethers with exchange students from other schools for volleyball games. At the end of the year the club had a picnic at Mr. MacGregor’s farm.

Prom celebration by the seashore The Juniors presented a “Holiday by the Sea” prom to the Class of 82 on Saturday, May 1, at the McMinnville Community Center. To build on the theme, decorations consisted of fishing nets on the walls, a lighthouse, driftwood piers, screens with seagulls on them, decorative paper, and streamers. Dress for the prom this year was more casual than in past years. It was considered a “semi-formal” formal affair. With the current economics situation, more practical-minded students chose to invest in street length dresses over formals, and suits or sweaters over tuxedos. These casual clothes could be worn to social occasions other than the prom. This variety of dress was visually interesting and reflected current fashion trends of comfort and individuality over structured fashion mandates. Denise Hofrichter was crowned Queen, and Mary Briggs, Debbie Holladay, Stacy O'Riley, Susie Bell, and Tracy Barton were the senior princesses. The five-member band, Cross Current from Portland played a variety of songs from the 50’s and 60’s for the guests to dance to. A midnight buffet consisting of hamburgers and trimmings, french fries, cake, and soft drinks awaited prom-goers when the dance was over.
