Area Learns of Student Projects In its first year the Committee on Civic, Educational and Cultural Af- fairs stimulated cultural interests among the students. COCECA gar- nered and published monthly lists of activities from Charley Byrd to the Washington Redskins, giving in- formation such as dates, price and unavailability of parking. The In-School Publicity Commit- tee informed the student body of events from Fantasia to the debate tournament. Twenty-five to 50 post- ers advertising each event emerged adorned with crepe paper and plas- tic devices. The Out-of-School Pub- licity Committee maintained bulletin boards at Wildwood Manor and Beth- esda Bowling Alley in addition to a steady flow of press releases on school activities. Hoping to send a student abroad next year, the newly baptised Inter- national Exchange Committee ar- ranged student interviews. Juniors Andy Blasky, John Culp, Nancy Hol- lander and Janice Crosswhite be- came AFS semifinalists after ex- tensive interviews. COCECA: bottom row: E. Rosenberg S Kelly second C Crippen K Audett B.
