Home Room Presidents Form Gaveliers As an equal member of West High's three- house student government, Gaveliers is recognized as an organization of importance. For the first year, Gaveliers, whose members are the presidents of their home rooms, met during school time once every three weeks on a rotation basis with Student Senate and Activities Council. The primary pur- pose of Gaveliers is to help the home room presi- dents to serve their home rooms better. This pur- pose was accomplished through discussion of the problems which occur on the home room level and instruction in parliamentary procedure. The first semester officers were Iay Harmon, president, Ioy C-ellerman, vice-presidentg and Steve Potter, secre- tary. The second semester ollicers were Paul Bixby, president, Kenny Caines, vice-president, Rita Shellenberger, secretary, and Phil Wood- ward, treasurer. Mr. Sodergren advised the Gav- eliers.

Exemplifies World Understanding World peace and understanding - the American Field Service works through its program of foreign youth exchange to promote the attainment of these goals. Through the American Field Service program, Torben Ivarsson, the fourth A.F.S. student to attend West High, came to the United States from Denmark. The Dane, as Torben's friends called him, soon be- came a part of the student body. The second foreign student to attend West High this year was Liisa Hollmen. Liisa, who was spon- sored by the First Presbyterian Church of Waterloo through the International Christian Youth Exchange, was from Salo, Finland. Both Liisa and Torben taught West High of life in their Scandinavian homes as they lived as typical Wahawks. As ambassadors of the United States and West Wa- terloo, Iudy Rugg and Leslie Loomis returned to West High from their travels abroad. They were the first representatives from West High to go abroad through the American Field Service program. Wellington, New Zealand, had been Iudy's home from December, 1961, through August, 1962. Leslie had become a member of a family in Bayerisch Gmain, Germany, during the summer of 1962. Upon their return these girls shared their experiences with West High students.
