Moving to the sounds of popular rock music, accompanied by disc jockey J. W. Busch, approximately 350 students enjoyed Student Asso- ciation's first stag sock hop in Sep- tember. In addition to the music, a f'Hobo', contest was held and contestants were judged by the parent sponsors. Sophomore Dunja Mai stole first place receiving a five dollar gift certi- ficate with her whiskey bottle and charcoal whiskers. Homecoming, an October project, proved to be the most successful of 58 student association Student Association all previous homecoming dances. A record number of attendants put the Student Association bank account over the thousand mark. Mr. Floyd Gwin served as head sponsor for ho- mecoming and Senior Melanie Frie- bus did much to add to the success of the 'gHarvest Moon atmosphere. In December, a tree decorating party was held for representatives and board members. The final pro- duct gave a more 'fChristmasy touch to the commons. A Mr. Leggs Contest and Talent Show were dis- cussed, however, through lack of or- ganization and lack of student parti- cipation, both projects were aban- doned. A group of f'Swedish dancersi' from Lindsborg provided lively entertain- ment during an all school assembly in early Spring. Student response was encouraging. Head sponsor Karen Swenson served as both an advisor and a par- ticipant in Student Association acti- vities. Student Association provided limited activities but a few successful ones. J'

Ivan Ayala, the American Field Service CAFSD student for the 74-75 school year arrived from Ecuador in early August in order to prepare to attend an American High School. Ivan lived with the Herman Van- Arsdale's during the school year and grew accustomed to new foods, new people, various weather changes, and overall a faster pace of life. In Ecua- dor, more time is spent on leisure and friendship rather than on employ- ment and material items. The change of culture that Ivan made was both a American Field Service learning experience and at times a difficult one. Upon arrival, a language barrier proved to be discouraging to Ivan and to those whom he met. With practice and time Ivan soon adapted his native Spanish to todays English slang. Adjusting to a faster pace of life also took time. One point of differ- ence in Ecuador and the U.S. was that many high school students in the U.S. must work to go to collegeg whereas in Ecuador most young peo- ple do not work and college is free to those who qualify intellectually. Weather changes affected Ivan since he was use to a moderate con- stant temperature. Ivan lives near mountains and has observed the beauty of snow from a distance, how- ever, throwing snowballs was a novel experience. Overall a better understanding of Ecuador and Ivan's life benefited many South studentsg while Ivan learned of a new and different life from us. afs
