he International Club is new at Norcross. Due to our school's growing population of foreign students, Ms. Swift and Judy Chen felt the need for a club to meet the needs of these students. Thus the International Club was born. As an organization, they try to promote ex- changing of culture of foreign students and American students, and to give them assistance in adjusting to academic and social aspects of American culture. All of the International Club members are students who are interested in making new friends and helping and sharing with people. Norcross is glad to have the International Club because it sparks better communication between foreign and American students. The students gain from the club by allowing foreign students to adjust to a new school and country. ln the words of president Judy Chen, The club is for students working toward the goal of friendship and communication.
