Will you buy a Bierdenkle, please? How do you spell Faschingsball? Let's have it quiet, please! It was a regular Seahawks Fly Abroad meeting. Under the leadership of president Larry Spadoni, the club supported and promoted the student exchange program at Peninsula. Through the use of spot ads and the sponsoring of school dances. SFA helped to boost the funds for an exchange student to Germany. Throughout the year SFA kept up a steady correspondence with Peter-Peterson Schule in Hamburg, Germany. The main showcase was always full of art work, postcards, and letters from Germany. Peninsula was fortunate to have a German student in its midst for a year: Marianne lYannyl Lichtherz easily adapted to the new way of living and made many friends in the process. Yanny Lichtherz, German exchange student to Peninsula, stands before a show- case displaying high school artwork sent to us as a gift from our partner school- in Hamburg. Q eww. r 4 i was supper builds at SFA officers: Patty Craig, Larry Spad Understanding between the two partner schools was also stregthened by the return of Janet Botnen, last year's exchange student to Peter-Peterson. Her fluent German made her seem more German than American. During her semester with us. Janet took time out each day to show slides and answer ques- tions about life in Germany. The success of this year's foreign exchange program is due in part to the work of Mrs. Elizabeth Leppanen. No one can forget the work she put into the club in the past to make it as effective as it is today. This year Miss Rita Kunsing has proven her ability to carry on where Mrs. Leppanen left off in advising this grow- ing club.
