Once in love Ame and sister, Barbara Terry, give Martin Luther a try. Ame explains the conjugation of a German verb to Karen Peller, German II student. American Field Service student Ilse fAmeJ Beck- er brought to Northwood a charm and enthusiasm which quickly Won the friendship of her classmates. A representative of the town of Minden, Westphalia, Germany, Ame found life in the United States busy but fun. For Ame one of the pleasures of being an AFS student was the opportunity it provided for speaking to Americans about her country. In talks before many school and community groups, she ex- pressed opinions which showed her awareness of matters varying from the Berlin wall to dating cus- toms in her country. Already busy with homework and AFS duties, Ame still found time for Latin club meetings, Girls' Service Club projects, and All-School Production re- hearsals. A big smile and a cheerful Hi, dahling! at football games, school plays, and dances are a part of the German fraulein whom Northwoodites will remember long after Ame has returned to her home. Making a wish, Ame blows out the candles on the birthday cake given to her as a surprise by the Student Congress. di il' 'l l

activities . . . Contests, welfare drives, and other activities all figure in Northwood life. The All-School Production, Anything Goes, presented April 4 and 5, proved that many hours of work put in by students had not been wasted. New to Northwood this year was the bank, a branch of the Citizens' Building and Loan Association. The student savings system proved so popular that the bank took over all club checking accounts. The Welfare Committee collected three thousand cans of food for Montgomery County's un- derprivileged. Proceeds from the annual Paperback Book Sale, February 18 to March 15, were used to buy new library books. The library was also invaded by a display of the baked goods made for the Home Arts Bake-off contest. In another contest, the stu- dents bowed to the faculty at the Senior-Faculty basketball game. Always fond of dancing, North- woodites enjoyed themselves at the Welcome Dance and the '65 or Bust Dance sponsored by the sophomore class. The Night Caps help push the Sophomores toward their goal: '65 or Bust. Tired of mundane cafeteria faie these distinguished gentlemen enioy home made elegance.
