Foreign Exchange Club Foreign Exchange Club, headed by co-presidents Ann Davis and Kris Carlson, vice-president Mugs Steenrod and treasurer Lizbe Steinhardt, worked to promote interna- tional understanding by sending two students abroad, one to Japan and the other to Germany. This year's foreign exchange student from Osaka, Japan, was Miwa Inoue. Carol O'Hop was our exchange student to .lapan this year. Reinhard Hinsch, the exchange student from Germany, came to the United States with Bob Miller, last year's ex- change student to Germany. The club raised money for its program by baking chess pies for the all school play. The Bond drive held late in the year helped finance our foreign exchange students going abroad. The club held an international day. Local foreign ex- change clubs were invited to taste foods of foreign lands cooked by the club's members. The group held a dinner in the mushroom that evening. The club is open to any student who is interested in the foreign exchange program and is willing to put in his time and effort to help make it a success. It is sponsored by Mrs. Gail Hollenbeck.
