Ruskin’s council of, by, and for the students, spent the 1964-65 school year in a whir of activities. Beginning with the magazine sale and the first informal dance, the council never ceased to work for the benefit of the student body. Ruskin’s student government organization also proudly fulfilled the position of Secretary of the Missouri Association of Student Councils and attended conventions at Jefferson City and Warrensburg. Again this year, classroom visita- tions served as a forum for the voicing of con- structive criticism and commendation for the past performance of the council. They rekindled enthusiasm and generated greater understanding between council and students. Student Council activities, such as the annual Snow Ball, were well received by the student body. Enthusiasm for Ruskin’s four-year-old exchange program reached a new peak with the arrival of Tinina Fuchslocher from Chile. The 1964-65 Ruskin Student Council deserves to be commended for a year of progress toward new' and challenging horizons. 24

Sisters share a love of music. Tinina relaxes at home while knitting. Sandy receives help with chemistry problems. Friendships Expand Through Student Program Maria Cristina Fuchslocher, or Tinina, as she is called, is Ruskin's fourth American Field Service stu- dent, and is one of 40 in the Kan- sas City area. Tinina’s home is in Rio Bueno, in the beautiful lake region of Chile. In Chile Tinina’s parents own and manage a small general store. She has two older brothers, Harry and Igor, and an older sister, Ka- rin. Tinina’s American family, the Dwight W. Sorensens, have one daughter, Sandy. When asked how she likes life in the United States, Tinina said, “Although I look forward to see- ing my family in Chile again, I am enjoying very much my experi- ences in an American home and large high school. I am sure this is one of the most rewarding and memorable years of my life.
