Senior Liz Erlandson takes a sip of pop at the annual French Club pizza bingo party. The bingo party uses ''traveling” prizes which turn out to be useful items such as Play-dough or a children's story book. Onyautyitiatui. FOOD FIGURES Every MHS organization appears to be obsessed with food while most MHS students have diet mania. Evidently, the clubs must plot to throw obstacles in the students paths to the glorious utopia of thinness. Every club either sells food or induces members to attend meetings through waving tempting morsels in front of their noses. Bake sales, candy bars, M M's, Gummi Bears, apples, oranges, and various other items are all sold by clubs. Students beg their friends to purchase their wares so they can either go on that trip or just remain a member in good standing of the club. By remaining in good standing, members consume many treats of various calorie amounts. The flip side of the coin has half the population of MHS dramatically complaining about layers of fat while gnawing on pure chocolate. They moan; they grumble; they eat. The vicious food cycle takes one more step. Students progress from self-pity to group-pity resulting in flattery. One person denounces herself as fat . Her friends immediately rush to her defense by proclaiming her beautifully thin and themselves as obese . In return for their support, she returns equivalent compliments in another round of the never-ending social game. To all the producers and consumers of MHS organizational food, we take our hats off to you! 22 ORGANIZATIONS

EXCHANGE STUDENTS THROUGHOUT THE WORLD It was the best experience I've ever had! It was well worth the money! replied Kelly Knoke, a member of the AFS program who spent her summer abroad in Uruguay. In Uruguay she studied the culture of a people very different from our own. Among the other AFS students, Neil Whitehead travelled to Peru and Robert Vickerman spent a wonderful experience in Paraguay. Our own MHS AFS student, Mario Moran, spent an entire year in Monroe staying with the Whitehead family. Area Monroe families hosted eleven AFS students for a traditional, cross cultural AFS Fair Day weekend. Exchange students represented Germany, Japan, Austria, the Netherlands, Ireland, Italy, France, Turkey, Chile, and Argen- tina. All of the students were current AFS representatives living with host families in Dane or Grant counties. Their stay in the area included student and family get-togethers, spending a day with their hosts in school, a Monroe High School basketball game, a dance, tours of the Swiss Chateau Cheese Store, WEKZ, an afternoon of curling and a progressive supper. Wrapping up the weekend, a potluck with slide presentations was held at MHS for all the families. AFS was a very fun and learning experience. For students who loved to adventure abroad and to discover the cultures of other countries, AFS was the right place. 24 A.F.S.
