X Many students think that all AFS means is having the opportunity to live overseas for a year, remarked Ruth Abramson, co-president of our chapter of the American Field Service. But actually it is the opportunity to meet new people, both American and foreign, to travel inside the United States, and to have a good time. Some students can, of course, go to a foreign country on the Americans Abroad Program, but now there are additional programs. For students who would like to see a different life- style in another part of the U.S., there are the summer and one semester Domestic EXCl'lQnge Programs. If you didn't get the opportunity to travel, there were still a variety of activities to participate in with our own chapter. We had several pizza par- ties with AFS exchange students from our area, their hosts, and the Pollution Action Committee. After the parties were square dances for anyone who wanted to attend for a fee. ln January we had a skating party, also with oth- er AFS students from the area. By selling calendars, Christmas cards, and baked goods we earned money to bring an AFS students here next year. As 8 result of AFS' efforts last year, Christina Ladeira came here from Brazil. She stayed with Edie Lazenby, and her family for almost a year. Said Christina about AFS, lt's wonderful. I think more people should be able to travel to other coun- tries. And all the people l've met from other countries who are in the various AFS chapters here have been just great.

Our motto is 'We serve', said President lVlari Clayton, and the Key- ette Club did just that. We took handicapped children from Christ Child Church Center rollar skating every Friday, visited nursing homes, helped school functions and much more. Our two biggest achievements were winning third place for our Homecoming float Women of Ameri- ca 1776-l976 and the raising of al- most one thousand dollars for Project Concern through their Walk for Nlan- kind. In lVlarch, we took part in an international convention held in Wash- ington, D.C. Keyettes was hard work, but it was also a very enjoyable expe- rience.
