The supreme drive for funds and the exhibition of our collected French ma terials was at the Soiree an evening of fun and friendship To prove that the language barrier is not a great one a full house readily understood the French play and songs. Through the spirit of dona- tion the sale of refreshments and small gifts from parents and friends a profit ample enough to bring an exchange student was raised Through these projects Oakwood has come to realize what affiliation means After three years of growth and work our long-awaited goal is in sight Next year providing all goes well we may see the seeds of our labor bear glorious fruit a true 'fulfillment of the definition of affiliation WPG.

Continuing one would see other such prized articles as a microscope a type writer Oakwood engraved pencils and the Viewmaster. Passed from eye to eye with the greatest of enthusiasm this last represents America in technicolor. What could bring our country closer without actually seeing it? ln reply to our gifts the students are working hard with their few materials to make projects for us in token of their friendship. Wouldn t it be wonderful to have a stu- dent from Escarbotin at Oakwood for a year? That is just what the Committee has been striving for. Under the enthusiastic leadership of Mary Rhodes, faculty spon- sor and Betsy Wright, student chaim1an the Committee has been promoting cor- respondence and the exchange of projects and materials between the two schools Jldur oggmgrj flgfsil Jos hmvovff nnuolgl TA 'L Q do ' V.
