QS-zwlmf Comma Our sculpture could not have been complete without mention of the Student Council. It represented the voice of the student body, and through democratic procedure made decisions that affected the entire school. Among these decisions were the drafting of a school calendar and the standardization of the school ring. Also important in the work of the Council was the work with the American Field Service. It organized the community body which sponsored the visit of one of our student body to a foreign country for the summer. Our Council worked hard and we certainly did appreciate all they did for our good. ma,-It ' . t.. . ...ui-4 .

lflflfeflf LC Q14 Jie!! Qgwga While writing these few lines for the Yearbook, I want to take the opportunity to thank each one of you who contributed to make a dream of so many European teen-agers come true to me. All through the year you tried to make me feel at home in your school and community by your sincere kindness and open friendliness. I think you succeeded in it because it is with a regret that I see the remaining days, weeks and months Hying by as if they were jets. It will be a joy to me, when back in my country, I look through my mind and scrapbook and re- fresh all the wonderful moments I had in the United States. When I go home, I have to do my senior year of high school over, but I find this year has been most profitable. I gained an experience I never would have received from a year of booklearning. My stay has brought me in contact with many differing people and their customs. I have learned to appreciate them equally. I came also to the conclusion that in America not everybody is as the actors of Hollywood, that not everybody is a mil- lionaire, who spends his time driving around town in a white 1960 convertible, but that there are people like us with the same problems and who want peace. I tried to understand your people, and this understanding I will try to pass on to the teen- agers and older people of Belgium because in the understanding of each other rests peace. I hope I did justice to my country and that you learned as much from me as I did from you. Maybe in the future some of you will be visiting Europe, remember then that somewhere over the ocean in Belgium you have a friend where you always will be welcome. Francine Wybo Dear Reader, uWalk together, talk together, O ye peoples of the earthg then and only then, shall ye have peace. These words taken from the ancient Sanskrit serve as the motto for and explanation of the existence of the American Field Service. Last summer I had the opportunity to con- tribute my humble share in the AFSIS effort to establish personal international friendships. rv Auburn, pvvxyvxnu U1 un, Lfvulxkxxus 111 un., xxvx. world were visited by someone of the 900 Ameri- can High School Juniors who went abroad last summer. From these countries, in turn came al- most 1600 teen-agers to live here for a school year and see some of our country in the summer before returning to their home-lands. Last summer I saw and did many wonderful things. I lived as one of four boys in a Norwegian family. I learned to respect the differences be- tween Karl Dahl's family and my fatheras family. The Dahlis are now as a second family to me. I hope to visit them and the people of Oye who are my friends, sometime in the future. To everyone who helps make the American Field Service a reality through his work and dona- tions, I give my sincerest thanks. I had a wonder- ful experience that will always be part of me. .

Q Francine Wybo, our Belgian foreign ex- change student, and William Husson, our own representative to Norway, talk over some of the things they have in common as American Field Service representatives. Francine was surprised at this moment. Bill Husson
