AFS: Not For The A.F.S. was quite busy this year organizing many of their activities. To raise money for the club they ran the bookstore, which was open in the morning and during both lunches supplying forgetful students with neces¬ sary materials. They had a pie sale which also brought in some very important greens. Last winter the A.F.S. sponsored the “Teacher of the Year” contest. Students paid one cent a vote for their favorite teacher, and, like last year, there was a very slim margin between Miss Forrest and Mr. Norman. In the end Mr. Norman pulled it out with the help of faithful students. The A.F.S. also sponsored a student from Sweden. His name was Johan Masson. He arrived in the Summer of ’77 and was very eager to see and learn about the U.S. He was chosen to speak at Pembroke’s graduation where he told about his feelings toward the students, teachers, and Pembroke. On June 30, 1978, Johan re¬ turned to Sweden after a very eventful year. We wish him the best of luck and thank his host family, the Hepner’s, for their support which enabled the students of Pembroke to get to know Johan. In December, the A.F.S., along with the Spanish Club organized an exchange for six Costa Rican students to spend Christmas in Virginia. They went to parties, movies, and showed a few Pem¬ broke students how soccer should be played. They had a lot of fun and were reluctant to leave, but even the bad weather only delayed their departure for forty-five minutes. Two other students, Michael Szeps (Sweden) and Bar¬ bara Bieman (Germany), although not A.F.S. exchange students, were very active members of the club. Bar¬ bara is now attending William and Mary College and Michael is back in Sweden. 18

The Art League, or club, of PHS had been very lackadaisical in previous years, but with so many eager and tal¬ ented students, it became a facinating and enjoyable addition to Pembroke this year. All interested students were encour¬ aged to complete applications which were available, thus enabling Mrs. Childs to create the club. The Club participated in and spon¬ sored various Art Shows and displays in the Tidewater Area. It was not un¬ usual for at least one artist to come back with an award for their work, bringing fame and recognition to Pembroke High.
