Carnival Affirms Plans For AFSers' Successes The Wide World of Exchange served as theme for SlVl West's traditional AFS Carnival. Climaxing a week of fund-raising activities, the carnival addition- ally netted a profit in order to finance an exchange student for the 1969-70 school year. Planned by Stephanie Livingood, Stuco Exchange committee chairman, the AFS Carnival consisted of 25 club-sponsored booths. Each participating organi- zation constructed and set up its stand throughout the day, Saturday, April 12. At 8:00, a collage of colorful booths welcomed enthusiastic Vikings. Fea- tured stalls included the slave auction, mice maze, puppy raffle, haunted house, and silhouette, tattoo, can-can, and marriage booths. An innovation of the junior class, the Viko-gram, transported messages to various Vikings throughout the evening. West AFS'ers Kendy Chooduangngnern and Bertha Urrea, as well as Sue Swanson, a Viking dele- gate, attended the Carnival. The evening's activities truly promoted interest in the exchange program.
