EIMC2. A complicated theorem, simplihed and explained. fWCll1lgI EIlj Student Tutoring The Student Tutoring organization consisted of 140 tu- tors and 200 tutees whose cooperation and interest made for an exciting and successful year. The purpose of Stu- dent Tutoring was to make it possible for outstanding students to make use of their talents by helping other stu- dents, their school and community, stated llflaygene Frost, President. Other oflicers and board members were Lanny Katz, Vice-President in charge of Lawndale, Barb Duhl, llflike Sternberg, Sue Gecht, Anita Rogers, Chris Chase, and Dianne Salzenstein. This year Student Tutoring expanded its range of serv- ices to the community as well as the immediate school. About 150 New Trier students participated in the Lawn- dale Tutoring project, odicially called the New Trier Tu- toring Project. Once a week each tutor spent an evening in one of Hve tutoring centers in the West Chicago area, teaching reading and arithmetic to children who ranged in age from 3rd grade through the lower years of junior high. This tutoring was done on a one to one basis pro- viding for the children of the Lawndale area an invaluable service, by supplying needed interest, encouragement, and hours of practice in these skills the children will need to face the competitive white world of outside employment. This work was above all valuable to the New Trier student, giv- ing him a chance to see a culture with which he was unfa- miliar-and more than just see, become actively involved in, By giving of himself in imagination, time and concern he became an active part of the urban community to which he belongs. ln the spring, next year's board members were chosen from the junior class in order to become acquainted with the duties of the organization before assuming their offices in senior year.

CFiebergJ A Fine Sharing AFS is an experiment in sharing, said John Nlercier president. Everyone involved in the program has to give to everyone else involved in order to make the program successful. By promoting understanding among youths of the world, the world can be made a better place in which to live. Reflecting these words, the New Trier chapter of the American Field Service, one of the largest chapters in the nation, tried to promote this kind of understanding with the help of its four foreign exchange students, Peter Gross from Germany, Nan Prahasanobol of Thailand, Patricia llflontane from Chile, and Fikka Kosonen of Finland. AFS also sends American students overseas, Mike Hugh- ey spent last summer in Japan, Cynthia Mora is currently living and studying in the Republic of South Africa. Financial requirements for bringing students to and from the United States was one of the most pressing and im- portant activities of AFS. Most of the money required came from AFS planned and sponsored activities. The an- nual Bottle Drive in the township and the AFS film festi- val which featured two nights of excellent foreign film fare were highly successful and provided the most im- portant sources of the needed, funds. The highlight of the year was the AFS weekend in which AFS students from all parts of Illinois journeyed to New Trier for a weekend of varied activities: touring classes, sightseeing in Chicago, enjoying a square dance and a brunch. Under the leadership of John Mercier, as well as Peter Baugher, vice-president, Sally llfliller, secre- tary, and Pam Pettibone, treasurer, the weekend, held in the middle of April, was an unqualified success. Mr. Earle Metzger, faculty sponsor of AFS, comment- ed, UNO one realizes the meaningful role AFS plays in forming the private and public lives of individuals inti- mately involved in the program until they gain first hand experience, then they truly realize the significance of the AFS motto: VValk together, talk together, O ye peoples of the earth, then and only then shall ye have peace . . .U AFS enabled students to gain first-hand experience. Peter Gross of Germany speaks informally at the first AFS meeting of the year. Eikka Kosonen, Nan Prahasanobol, and Pat Montane wait to take their turns. CMzzij
