Successful Experiment We'll wait here till dinner is served The Seneca exchangers went to their St. Louis homes, and that evening a meeting was held at the UC chaiIman's home to intro- duce them and explain the coming week's activities. The Seneca exchangers first school activity was a Tuesday morning meeting of the House of Representatives, They attended a meeting of the Student Council on Wednesday morning. University City High has a bicameral student government with the House and the Council working together to make up this body. Many events were scheduled for the week in addition to attending classes every day. There was a Judo-Karate demonstration, a visit to the St. Louis planetarium, a meeting with the UC administration, dinner at a wellsknown restaurant, sightseeing, a Cardinal baseball game, and trips to the St. Louis zoo, Forest Park, and Washington University. On Friday night Joe Goodman, one of the exchangers who came to Louisville, had a dinner for all involved in the exchange. After this everyone went to Wigwam, a week- end dance which is run by a board of University City students. ' D One of the biggest events of the UC school year is the Senior Carnival. Luckily, the Seneca students were able to be in St. Louis for this event. The activity is located in the gym, and the one-time basketball court is turned into a room where noise and confusion preside and where each senior homeroom is responsible for one booth. The 1966 carnival had the theme of Cinema 66 with each booth having the title of a particular movie. Some of the ones selected were '6Shot in the Dark, Marriage U. City Style, and To Kill a Mockingbird. The money raised from this event, which amounts to several thousand dollars, is given to charity. The Carnival was considered the highlight of the week by all. The bus for Louisville left early Sunday morning, and the last moments of the exchange were indeed tearful ones. So many friendships had been made in such a short time, many to last for a long time. But, with many wet handkerchiefs the bus finally pulled away. Words could never express what took place in those two short weeks. So very much was learned, so very much was accomplished. Sometimes people become so involved in their own activities and in their own world of events and friends, that they completely forget that just a short distance away, others have completely different systems of living, of education, and of thinking. Many of their ways are answers to our problems. Such ideas can never be communicated unless events such as a student exchange take place. A program such as this one, whether carried on between cities or countries, proves that people all over the world are basically the same. It greatly broad- ens the minds of those involved and creates interest and' ,aff .f enthusiasm in those who read about it. The Redskins and the UC Indians have felt the warm glow of friendship and have sworn by the peace pipe to always remain blood brothers. THIS is being casually casual? I25

Public Relations Club Exchange Program The beginning of the 1965-1966 school year found the Public Relations Club rack- ing their brains for ideas to raise money to sponsor the first Seneca High School student exchange. The club needed money fdesperatelyl, and all seemed lost until club president Nancy Brucchieri suggested a She-Male contest to raise the needed funds. Work began immediately on this project, the show took place and was a tremendous success. With the needed money, Sharon Moeerf, chairman of this new project, began writing to various schools who might be interested in the exchange program. After much correspondence, it was decided that the project could be carried out with University City High School in St. Louis, Missouri. Their Student Council would sponsor their part of the exchange and would send six UC students to Louisville during their spring va students would stay in arrangement would be eight hour bus trip to Nancy Hewitt, Sharon cation, the week preceeding the Seneca holidays. The UC the homes of Seneca scholars for their visit, and the same true for the Seneca exchangers after they had made the St. Louis. Nine Redskins, Bob Wooldridge, Sandy Baron, Mocerf, Susan Strohmeier, Pam Seigle, Elaine Wesley, Alicia Williams, and Joe Parrott, made the journey during spring vacation, April 11-17,'l966. They were cations, academic stan exchange, one of many between the students an The University City selected by a board of teachers who considered their appli- ding, and citizenship records. The first Seneca student for UC, was very successful, creating a better understanding d the schools. visitors arrived on Sunday, April 3, 1966, and that evening a get-acquainted party was held at the home of Alicia Williams. The UC guests included seniors Gail Goldman, Secretary of the Girls' Athletic Association, and Key to city. kj' . H' Mr. George Walsh .lay Schucart, Sergeant-at-Arms of tlie House of Representativesg juniors Joe Goodman and Linda Brown, editors of the Tom Tom,', the UC High newspaper, and Val Feldman, Student Coun- cil representativeg and sophomore Sheila Krawl, member of 'the A Capella choir. A look at the city lights from Iroquois hill ended the UC exchangers first night in Louisville. The week passed quickly. The St. Louis visitors went to school each day and observed various classes to learn about Seneca's educational system. On their first day at Seneca, a welcoming reception was held and the University City students were intro- duced to a few faculty members and to many Seneca students. The events of the week included prom decoration committee meetings, a snack a Big Abner's, dinner at Kunz's and a show, a visit to the Jefferson County Board of Education, and trips to see the Belle of Louisville, Standiford Field, and neighboring high schools. On the Wednesday night of their visit, a Public Relations Club meeting was held. At this meeting the UC I24 students were given keys to the City of Louisville by city official Mr. John Young, and they were made honorary pages of the House of Representatives. Mr. George Walsh spoke at this meeting. There were several small parties at private homes during the week to become more familiar with the guests and to let them see how the teenagers of Louisville live. The week ended with an open house held at the, home of Sandy Schneiter. Many people attended this open party, and the UC exchangers saw all their new friends before departing. The visitors from University City High School boarded a bus Saturday morning to retum home. The day was a sad one, but only one-half of the student exchange was over. On the following Monday, April 11, 1966, the nine stu- dents from Seneca boarded the Greyhound bus on their way to St. Louis, Missouri. Upon their arrival, they were greeted by students carrying welcoming signs and by the UC band., Some people who attended meeting

Those fragile flowers, -just a pose of statelylfury. Those delicate delights, Not a wrinkled brow among them, Those tenderest of sights! Watch them as they piroutte, In silhouette, And dance against the sunk lust first-aid, or scars that stung them. Watch again. - See the shapely, shrouded bodies, Lithely moving, And body-block and run. Lithely bruising, Their voices calling softly ,midst the furied pace of haste, W afting, never harshly, As a zephyred, playful wraith, A multitude of voices in a tender flood- We want bloodlv Such sweetly speaking seraphim, With glow without, With smile within, With touseled hair, With flailing arms, With beaming-face, With quarterback charms. The comely ladies scurry In an agitated flurry, In a heaving clutch of jerseys, In an ordered, pall-mall hurry. Lightly aching, Slightly scraping, g Gaining ground and gaining yardage, In a most demure attempt to Do each other in, But not to bend A part or piece that will not mend. Let me introduce the frail Captain of the team, Who answers with a curtsy And a perfect passing screen. 'Twould be hard to find another group Well mannered such as these. Each helps the other, when injured, up 5 Up off her hands and knees. Ah yes, to date the lovely ladies, Most beautiful by far, Is like unto the royal fool who, unaware, Walks out in front of cars. ,GW-'lb' f'XQ -sive-ww .
