AFS Club held a Christmas party for Mor- occan foreign exchange student. Violette Amzalag. With Violette ' s help, club mem- bers decorated a Christmas tree for the library. The party was highlighted by a visit from Santa Claus. East ' s AFS chapter also participated in an all-city get-together with Northern Illinois exchange students. Four E-Rabs hosted vis- iting students the weekend of January 20. To have two foreign exchange students next year and send one Rab abroad this sum- mer, the club had to raise $1125. The sale of donuts, tags, book covers, and folders along with bake sales and the R-Club-faculty basketball game on March 25 helped the group to raise funds. East ' s AFS finalists for the summer pro- gram were Linda Bergstrom and Martha Bra- zones. Assisting adviser Mrs. Jennie Murphy were new sponsors Roger Stevens and Mrs. Linda Watson, Melinda Mcllwam and Kathy Billingham add tinsel to the Christmas tree that AFS decorated and placed in the school library.
