Foreign Exchange Student The delight of the Senior class this year has been Petra van Kampen, our foreign exchange student from the Netherlands. Leaving her lovely home near Haarlem, she came to live with the Nobles and attend school in Paxton. Petra carried four subjects and was active in such extra-curricular activities as Girls’ Chorus, A Cappella, Latin Club, Band, Student Council, and the National Honor Society. She played the bass fiddle in band, and has been known to play the recorder on occasion. In Student Council, she initiated ping-pong tournaments for interested students. Petra was enthusiastic and very eager to learn about us, our customs, and our country. Among other things, everyone admired her ability to speak and read several different languages. In fact, the whole community became quite attached to Petra, who was often seen in her native costume, giving talks before interested groups. Petra learned much, but she also taught us a great deal about her country, and about people in general. Time will not erase the memory of Petra, for she has become a part of Paxton High and its heritage. These methods of raising funds for this very worthwhile project have become annual activities for the Student Council A.F.S. Committee. 12

A.F.S. Dinner at Clara Peterson The A.F.S. Committee, composed of five members elected from the Student Council, are in charge of money-making projects for the American Field Service Program. Last year the committee was elected just in time to plan the annual American Field Service Banquet. This was served at Clara Peterson School by Student Council members. All those at the Banquet considered the evening very successful and most enjoyable. This year the A.F.S. Committee was in charge of the American Field Service Christmas tree, and again sponsored the Banquet.
