BOYS' AND GIRLS' STATE Jay Kessler, Kathy Routhe Scholarship, character, and leadership were the main qualifications required in the selection of Kathy Routhe and Jay Kessler as delegates to Boys' and Girls' State. Each year the junior class selects representatives to attend these sessions held in the Twin Cities during the month of June. Sponsored by the American Legion and Auxiliary, these states exist for the purpose of acquaint- ing the young people of today with local, county, and state government by enabling the delegates to take an active part in it. The citizens of Boys' and Girls' State were indoctrinated through mock governments and observance of actual sessions in the State Capitol. Looking back over our high school days, we see how our school has molded and formed us in preparation for the future. Each year has brought added responsibilities, the first of these coming in our freshman year when we had charge of the Homecoming bonfire. As sopho- mores, our first year of senior high entailed tak- ing charge of the Homecoming pin and slogan committee, and decorating for the Christmas Ball. Each year, in passing, seemed to go faster than the one before, and after a busy junior year when we, for the first time, presented a class play, our senior year was upon us. This, our most memorable of years, was filled with the activities that keep seniors busy and make the year fly by. Putting out the school paper and the yearbook, and presenting a class play were again time-consumers, and seniors could be found in nearly every school organization. Now, at the climax of our school career we walk down the auditorium aisle for the last time and know that although we will miss the familiar security and friendships our school has offered, the future shines brightly before us. Bigger and better things await us, but we shall always look back upon our high school days and the teachers who helped make us what we are, with genuine fondness. These truly were our golden years.

AFS . . A discovery was made by the American Field Service in 1944, the year they became known the world over. The discovery was sim- ply this — the people of all nations are born with a need for friendship. Although each nation may differ in language, dress, and other customs, in truth, understanding, and friendship their needs are the same. The graduating class of '55 had as a mem- ber an A.F.S. exchange student. Since then via five boys and girls from widely-scattered coun- tries of the world, we have discovered that the A.F.S. was right in its assumption. In July of 1958 Bruce Reynolds bid good- bye for one year to his family and friends in Cartertown, New Zealand. His destination was Redwood Falls and the Willis Kessler home. Be- cause of Bruce we have received an interes'ing educational course about New Zealand wiihout ever having to open a book. Redwood Falls, to make the exchange com- plete, sent an A.F.S. miss on a mission — Lisa An- derson from nearby Vesta. In August she left her home for Tromso, Norway, where she spent five months acquiring knowledge about Norway's life and education and imparting information about America. Because friendship is a sharing proposition, Bruce and Lisa are not the only ones that have gained knowledge and enjoyment through A.F.S. All people connected in any way with A.F.S. or the students involved, realize what a vital task this group is undertaking - establish- ment of lasting world peace and understanding.
