Students joumeyed to Pennsylvania for a student exchange program. The trip served to unite our school with an Amish coummunity in Lancaster. At the end of March Northern students repaid the visit, giving them a chance to study life at SHS. Later during the annual AFS weekend, foreign exchange students from surrounding areas gathered in Statesville for a weekend of fellowship, parties, and enlightening discussions. Under Benji Leaptrott's supervision, many interesting programs were enjoyed. Vice-president Elizabeth Gaines discussed and showed slides on the Camping Tour of the West. Although the club was not able to sponsor an exchange student this year, members did get a chance to learn about Germany through Mrs. Allen Revier and her son Steve.

Discussions Open Doors To Christian Fellowship The Fellowship of Christian Athletes promoted Christian fellowship in the student body and athletic teams. The meetings were few but meaningful for those who attended. Sponsoring a devotional period three mornings a week, president Tripp Armistead encouraged students to practice fellowship throughout the day. Tapes and discussions inspired members to gain a better understanding of their fellow man. Before Christmas Mr. Cowles Bristol showed a film which encouraged them to become more aware of Christianity during the holiday season. The club elected Angie Davenport for their sweetheart and worked under the guidance of Coaches C.A. Frye and Gene Abercrombie. nr Speaking before a group assembled in Coach Jackson's room, FCA pres- ident Tripp Armistead conducts a morning prayer session. FCA: Front row: A.
