IA members move classes, hold 'open 1? if rw PI O Members ot the Industrial Arts Club moved classes from the barracks build- ings to the permanent pods in Decem- ber for their main service project for the year. For their money-making project, the IA Club members macle Roadrunner license plates for sale. The students designed the plates and, also, made the casts for them. Giving the members a chance to work on whatever projects they wanted was the main activity of the IA Club. They created an open shop, held once every two weeks for interested members. At the end of the year the Industrial Arts Club members sponsored a road rally and attended a picnic afterwards. This was the first year that girls were permitted to join the IA Club. Sponsoring the Industrial Arts Club tor the second year were Watson Ambruster and Orin Buchleiter. 158

L fx X AFS Club sponsors foreign exchanges, Sharing a year with an Irish girl and sending a student to South Africa high- lighted activities for members of the school chapter of the American Field Service. Olivia McKeown from Belfast, North- ern Ireland, was the school's tenth foreign exchange student. A previous adult AFS group did not raise enough funds to help sponsor a foreign exchange student last year. In January the chapter helped send Amy Schaffer to Paarl, South Africa, for a year through the Americans Abroad program. Also in January the members spon- sored the Mr. Teenage America contest as a money-making proiect. This year's winner, John Fannin, was crowned by Tommy Hughes, last year's Mr. Teenage America. Other money-making proiects through the year were a bake sale in November, penny day every other Thursday and selling candy hearts in February. Before Amy's departure for South Africa, the students had two going away parties. The Sandias were the site of a sledding party also in January. Mrs. Doris Bowen was in her first year as sponsor of AFS. 160
