Oxford Exchange Students Learn About Australia and Argentina On August 13, 1965, Rennie Carroll de- parted from Kennedy International Airport for Cordolia, Argentina. Rennie is living on a large chicken farm, and along with helping with the chores, he has enjoyed sailing and meeting new friends in the area. Rennie has gone to the mountains once with his biology class and is scheduled to go again before the school year is over. Rennie, like other ex- change students, lives with several families in the course of his visit This will give him the opportunity to observe a cross-section of Argentine family life. He expects to return to Oxford in July or August of 1966. Don Schlafer left from Kennedy Interna- tional Airport on July 22, 1965, for a year in Australia as an exchange student. Since his arrival Down Under, Don has learned to water ski, has played tennis often, and has enjoyed many days at the beach. It is obvious that the Oxfordite is taking advantage of the hot, sunny weather of Australia. Academically, Don takes many of the same courses that are offered at OACHS: English, math, science and history. One family with whom he lived owned an airplane, so Don had the opportunity to fly in comfort to Victoria. Later in the year Don hopes to go kangaroo hunting with a friend. Before returning to Oxford, he plans to tour Europe.

Jim Mangels, Jane Leary, Linda Fowl- ston, Ruth Milks, Judy Hinckley. Top Magazine Salesmen for the Junior Class. Class of 1967 Enjoys Junior Year Two highlights of the junior year are the magazine drive and the arrival of the class rings. In the fall the juniors sell magazines to earn money for class projects, the most important of which is the prom held in the spring. At the beginning of the school year, these almost seniors have the pleasure of order- ing their class rings. Then comes the long wait, which seems interminable, until the rings finally come. Debbie Keech admires Paul Weishaupt's newly acquired class ring. 21

Whittaker, L. Roberts. Seniors Score a Hit with Their Play The seniors outdid themselves this year. Beside being a hilariously funny play, I Was a Teenage Oracula, ’’ was also very well dramatized. Linda Swartout and Mike Moore played a brother and sister who lived with their middle aged aunt and uncle, Donna Barrows and Don Dutcher. They welcomed into their home a ghoulish teenager from Transylvania enacted by Terry Gavin. The trouble stemmed from the fact that the maid, Bertha Whittaker, watched too many late horror movies on television, and the poor visitor is blamed for all sorts of accidents. To enjoy yourself all you had to do was to sit back and wait for the houselights to dim.
