Human Relations, AFS Promoted Good Will AFS, or the American Field Service, was an organization designed to pro- mote international good will. Students from Palo Verde could go to a foreign school a year and in turn that school would send a student to Palo Verde. Be- cause of the many applicants, Palo Verde did not always send a student in the program. Juniors and seniors were able to ap- ply for the program. They had to attend several interviews for the judges to de- termine if they had the right qualities in their individual personalities. Judges would talk with a student to find his particular views on different problems that might arise with an American stu- dent in a strange land. Fellowship and brotherhood were the main obiectives to be obtained by the Human Relations Club. At Christmas they gave a party for neglected children and did tutoring for an underprivileged In- dian village. A speaker trom the Na- tional Association tor the Advancement of Colored People spoke to the Human Relations Club and answered any ques- tions they had. Members of the Human Relations Club took the mas season. Their day included lunch, a visit with Yaqui Indian children downtown during the Christ- Santa Claus and a trip to some of the stores.
