Weeks of hard work and organization by the Coordinating Council rep- resentatives and the members of their clubs paid off in the spectacular Activity Fair on May 26. Preparation for the fair began back in March when the Council met to decide on a theme for the Fair and to assign booths and projects to the clubsg members then began to work out the details for their projects. All this hard work was unseen by the student body when it attended the glittering Fair in May and patronized the widely differing booths ranging from a German Rathskeller to a Rom- an pizza banquet, from hot dog sales to a cake walk. The Fair went on into the evening, net- ting over 600 dollars for an AFS student for the 1962-63 school year. The reps then wound up their year's business by filling out forms i H' giving a summary of the past year's activities 1 A X as a guide for the newly-elected club officers.

Clubs Cooperate with Putting The Coordinating Council, one of the branches of Student Council, is responsible for organizing and running the club program, embracing over 80 organizations. In addition to assigning bulletin boards to its members for display, the council also was responsible for setting policy on club fund rais- ing activities. This year it decided to modify the general club fund so that only those funds which the clubs raised jointly from such sources as the snack shack went into a central fund, clubs being allowed to keep other funds. The Council, consisting of a representative from each club in the school, was enlarged this year by eight new clubs which were organized under its auspices to meet student demand. The representa- tives of these new clubs joined those of the already established ones in the cafeteria every two weeks to discuss problems common to all the clubs in the school and to vote on projects suggested for it. The representatives then reported the actions of the Council back to their clubs for discussion before final action was taken. One of the biggest jobs this year was managing, with the AFS committee, the second annual Activity Fair for our foreign exchange student.

R sse , . . . - mann, S. Kenner, M. Van Nice, AFS Club Sponsor Student Swap The American Field Service Committee of SCA was the guiding light behind the foreign exchange program. Its most important functions this year were finding a home for Del Lam, exchange student from Cambodia, and sponsoring the enormously successful Activity Fair. The main activity of the Hospitality Committee this year was the sophomore Orientation Program in the fall. There at a special assembly, incoming sophomores were acquainted with the rules, reg- ulations and traditions of their chosen school. Concerned with the financial aspects of the SCA, the Financial Committee, headed by the Student Council treasurer, swelled the treasury by selling tickets to most school functions. The Athletic Committee provided cokes to thirsty spectators at dances, athletic events, and other school activities. In addition, members of the com- mittee served as roving vendors at all home football games. AFS: first row: J. Green- field, L. Tannhauser. B. Conrad, S. Rich, D. Lam, E. Pechman, M. Souk- hanov, D.
