Exchange Progrom...From the Philippines Since 195-4, Reading High School has participated in a for- eign student exchange program called the American Field Ser- vice. By sending students to Europe, the Far and Middle East, South America, and Australia to live, and by bringing foreign teenagers to live in United States communities, this program endeavors to further its purpose to increase understanding among nations. This year our charming good-will ambassador is Miss Susana Carretas from the Philippines. She lives with the Platts and is enrolled as a senior at RMHS, although in her home she attends college.

To become a member of a I-Ii-Lite staff, one needs at least a B in English and an interest in newspaper work or creative writing. All prospective members are carefully screened by the editors and advisers. Hi-Liter teaches the students the principles of good journalism, the practice of these principles by the publication of a quarterly news- paper, and an appreciation of staff organization. The hard work that goes into the publishing of four issues a year was rewarded by a Second Class Award from the National Scholastic Press Association. This year Linda Hubbard, the capable editor-in-chief of Hi-Liter, and several members of her editorial staff have attended monthly news meetings sponsored by the Boston Globe. Programs for these meet- ings have been provided.by such interesting speakers as Richard Rodgers, Oscar Hammerstein II, and sportswriter Red Smith. 'Y
