Hanna, whose home is in KOH, Germany, made her temporary home this year at the Elmer Her- ring residence. TE FELLOW HIP For the past two years,Salina High School has sponsored students from foreign countries. This plan was made pos- sible through the efforts of the Student Council and the American Field Service. Last year Erik Svarrer was brought to Salina from Esj- berg, Denmark, by the AFS. This year the school was priv- ileged to have as its guest, Miss Hanna Bracket of Keil, Germany. Both Hanna and Erik, through the American Field Service plan, have now learned the Ways of the Ameri- can people. Last summer three Salina High students took ad- vantage of the American Field Service plan to spend three months in Europe. Mary Gay Dillingham went to Sweden while John Kirtland and Bill Welsh journeyed to Germany for a summer to learn the Ways of the peoples across the seas. This foreign exchange plan has become a chief source of promoting fellowship between the free countries of the world. Through the efforts of the Student Council and the American Field Service this program will continue to be used in Salina to promote good will and better understand- ing throughout the world. .4-

Besides their many projects, the Council helped with many other school projects. They provided funds to help beautify the school grounds, assisted classes in making successes of their plays, musicals, and parties. The Council was responsible for nearly all the assemblies during the year. It was a busy year in which every member of the Council had an opportunity to share in the successes of the entire school.
