Shipp AFS German Club Experiencing new cultures by Sylvia Castro The American Field Service (AFS) al- lowed students to become acquainted with countries and cultures around the world. The club ' s goal was to promote the AFS program and to raise money to support our ex- change students and Ameri- cans abroad, stated advisor Mr. Dorman. Fundraisers were held throughout the year. Also, the annual Christ- mas party and the AFS Inter- national Day, which is the highlight activity were held. The club hosted twenty to thirty foreign exchange stu- dents who are spending the year in Orange County. They visit our school and discuss their countries and cul- tures, stated Mr. Dorman. Our AFS students this year were Efrain Chara from Co- lumbia, Kate Traasdahl and Liv Hukset both from Nor- way. Each of these foreign exchange students had the opportunity to meet new friends and learn about the American culture, the prima- ry goal of AFS. For those students who were interested in becoming familiar with the German lan- guage and culture found the German Club was a great place to start. Advisor Mr. Bolander helped the club get involved in activities such as selling candy to attend a Ger- man film and dining at a Ger- man restaurant. The club ' s goal, stated Mr. Bolander was to, acquaint students with various aspects of the German speaking world. Al- though, the German Club was not very large, all mem- bers enjoyed participating in the German cultural exper- ience.
