LTV 5. ASSISTANTS Driving down to the supermarket to purchase the required order of eighty-five Lamb'sbrains forthe class dissection or uncrating and unpacking the neces- sary instruments from their nests of popped popcorn are among the varied duties of the selected group of Lab Assistants. They busy themselves by assisting the various teachers in the chemistry, biology, phy- sics, or physiology departments by preparing experi- ments and demonstrations, making slides for the sci- enceclasses, and then clearing and cleaning the materials for further use, and assisting in the correc- tion of assignments. These assistants are under the direction of Mr. Johnson. ROW 1-Debbie Doyle, John Contos. ROW 2-Susie Gabbs, Don Rogers, Dianne Dienstein. SCIENCI71 CLUB The Science Club was formed in 1958 and in the last five years has enlarged its activities. The original purpose of the Science Club was to increase the members' understanding of the various pl1C1SeS of science. Field trips were taken to the University of California, Richmond Field Station and to the California Research Corporation. The club sent one of its members as a representative to the Northern California Junior Science Symposium. ROW 'I-Randy Sperry, Marc Rappoport, David Reichard, Vicki Stephens, Mike Kapousouz, Naomi Barton, Virginia Roth- rock. ROW 2-Gordon Brown, Bob Eichstaedt, Rick Webb, Bob Rosenberg, John Burke, Tom Littauer, Tom Bock. LIBRARY ASSISTANT S One of the better means of extending library services in the school is through a library assistants' group. The work-experience offers many opportu- nities and challenges to the student as well as pre- senting a situation for the development of good citizenship. The library assistant's work concerns itself with the circulation and shelving of books, the care of periodicals and newspapers, the processing of ma- terials, reference assistance, clerical work and many other details directed by Miss Mildred Mateer, Red- wood librarian. ROW I-Cherry Edmondson, Anne Woodward, Michael Pat- rick, Steve Wrenn, ROW 2-Cecily Bricca, Barbara Dondero Carol Scott, Mary Mclean, Douglas liguston, Margaret Brennea

MATH CLUB 4 mfif. f I Xl A. 1 -MJ f Xi. :JV W'-i S+.. Dave Flowers, Pete Noyes, Jill Lerner, John Contes, John Osborn. Started in 1961, the Inter-School Relations Association, is made up of Redwood, Novato, Terra Linda, Drake, San Rafael, and Marin Catholic High Schools. The l.R.A.'s goal is geared toward the improvement of inter-school relations. Redwood senior John Osborn, served as Fall semester president this year and under his term of office, the first l.R.A. conference was held. The conference was held at San Rafael High School and was attended by 108 students from the various local high schools. The students met in discussion groups to exchange their ideas and discuss their problems together. The conference was said to be a great stride in the right direction toward reaching the main goal of this fine organization. During the Spring semester Chris Secor was president. Triangles, rectangles, formulas, and slide rules are among the mathematical devices familiar to members of the Redwood Math Club. Formulated three years ago, the Math Club has attracted many interested students during that time. Under the guid- ance of the club's advisors, Mr. Neylon and Mr. Glandon, the club members attempt to disprove mathematical paradoxes and to solve other problems of a more advanced nature. The president for this past year was Junior John Burke. The Math Club lends its support to students who wish to par- ticipate in the local Science Fair. The members have also been on field trips, have had guest speakers to talk on specific facets of mathematics, and have worked on projects within the club itself. In this way the club has encouraged the study of mathematics in various fields and has demonstrated to the members some of its practical uses. ROW 1-Gordon Brown, Don Bly, David Reicharcl, Nick Kerry, Rick Webb, Dawn Urbais, John Jurvig, Ed Bingham, Margaret Blackmore, Tom Bock, Penny Worth, John Burke.

A.F.S., A.F.S., or The American Field Service, is a foreign exchange program for high school students. Redwood Senior, Don Rogers, spent Q month in Athens, Greece, and Senior, Virginia Scott, attended a school in Toulon, France, for one semester. Also under A.F.S., Helene Uddgren came to Red- wood from Stockholm, Sweden, and Ali Massoum- khomi, who is Redwood's spring vice-president, came from Tehran, lran. Each of these foreign exchange students came to spend one academic year here learning many of our customs and trying to familiar- ize us with the ways of their countries. ROW 1-Helene Uddgren, John Kaufmann, Jan Cress, Ali l Massoumkhani. ROW 2-Pete Holter, Don Rogers. The Experiment in International Living is open to all iunior and senior students who have a genuine interest in the world, both near and far from home. Several students are chosen each year to travel abroad for a summer under this valuable program. For one month, each student lives with a foreign family. After this four week homestay, they travel aboard for another month with a group of other Experimenters from different places. The program is primarily aimed at college stu- dents and young people up to the age of about thirty. However, in the past few years, the program for high school students has opened up with fine results. 1 ROW 1--Toni Banducci, Maria Massagli, Toni Harris, Stacy Moore, Linda Foster. ROW 2-Patty Benkert, Gordon Brown, Rav Qnrllar FA Rinnlnnm S.A.S. School Affiliation Service involves the partner- ship of two schools. On June 27, 1961, Redwood became affiliated with Volksoberschule Preetz, a school in Preetz, Holstein, Germany. S.A.S. is de- signed to help students get acquainted with foreign students' schools and lives. Each year we not only exchange students, but also mathematics, art, and history collections. Our exchange students under the S.A.S. program, for this year were Mat Schmidt, visiting the United States from Germany, and Patty Lesko, traveling from Redwood to Preetz, One of the big highlights of this program was the S.A.S. conference, held in the Redwood library, on Saturday, February 2, 1963. Schools from all over the bay area participated in this program. Tim Minnes, Matthias Schmidt, Tim Frost.
