Home Redwoods Honor Society was formed with the purpose of recognizing those students who have had high scholastic standing and who were active members of Redwood's student body. To become a member of this organization a Red- woodite must have had at least a B average in his previous semester's grades and a minimum of ten activity hours, and a Redwood student body card. These activity hours could be eamed in a number of ways, Participation in after-school sports, in the Girls' Athletic Association, and in school activities were all ways of eaming hours. Other ways to earn activity hours were by at- tending club and committee meetings, and by working on the various club and Committee projects. Membership in the Honor Society was for one semester only. A student must have qualified for and applied for membership at the beginning of each semes- ter during which he wished to be a member of Honor Society. Members of the Honor Society often acted as guides for Freshman and New Students' Orientation, for Parents' Night and for Open House. By doing this they were able to earn activity hours for membership in Honor Society for the following semester. The Redwood Honor Society also offered life membership to all those who have been members of Honor Society for at least six semesters, one of which must have been in the students Senior year.

Redwoodites were more conscious of foreign affairs and had a better understanding of students in other lands as a result of the efforts of the School Affiliation Service. the Experi- ment in International Living, and the American Field Service. The School Affiliation Service is a newly ordained exchange program at Redwood. Dur- ing the past year, Redwood and Volksoberchule Preetz, Redwoods affiliate school in Ger- many through this program, have exchanged written and pictorial material offering com- parisons of the curriculum, students, and faculty. Several Redwood Seniors travel abroad each summer sponsored by the Experiment in In- ternational living. They live for one month with a family, then they tour abroad another month with Experimentersy' from other places and sometimes with members of their for- eign families. The American Field Service has several exchange programs. Students may live abroad with a family for the summer between their junior and Senior years, or they may attend a foreign school for one or both semesters of their Senior year. Students from foreign na- tions may come to the United States for a year of schooling as Jacqueline Marterer and Charles Katungi have done. Foreign diplomatic relations are becoming strained as time passes. The goal of all the ex- change programs is one: to ease world tensions through better understanding. Redwoodites can be proud of the part they are playing in achieving this goal. I I Arrwederrz ROXV ONE: D. Wilkins, M. Decdy, S. Scott. ROW TWO: T. Galli, A. Herman, J. Levensaler. fv- nm Q7 'C 3' XL!
