The Crailsheim Exchange Pro- gram was established by Worthing- ton-Crailsheim International, the communities international rela- tions organization. This exchang was started as an attempt to further better relations between two cities thus furthering German-American relations. The program started in 1946 with a Crailsheim visitor in Worthington and in 1956 Worthing- ton returned the visit. It began on a once every four-year basis, then al- ternate years, and now students ex- change every year. This year blonde, petite gymnast, Ingrid Kon- rad was our visitor while Craig Beh- rens became WHS's ambassador to our sister city. A gift of six hand made German costumes was sent from Crailsheim in time for the Turkey Day festivities celebrating the 25th anniversary as our sister city. From her perch on top of the Crailsheim float, Ingrid Konrad recognizes some of her new found friends in the crowd that line the streets for Turkey Day. The Dwaine Rosenbrook family is wearing six hand made costumes sent from Crailsheim celebrating the 25th anniversary as our sister city. 23 Ingrid Konrad enjoys herself during the Holiday season by helping out with the an- nual baking and decorating of Christmas cookies at the Andy Nielsen home.

The club was supervised by Miss Barbara Seeley and officers were: President Jerry Krausser and Secretary-treasurer Carmen Smith.

Activities and monthly programs included talks by the exchange students, German games and skits, movies and slides, and the annual German Christ- mas Party. The officers were: Cathy Hoff- man, president, Lori Hammer, vice pres- identg and Linda DeBeer, secretary-treas- urer. Nothing says lovin' like something from the oven, and Stacy says it best. Carmen Smith, Barb Johnson and Jerry Kraushar follow their noses to the kitchen just in time to find Stacy Rubsam's specialty emerging from the oven. Lockwood, this is PROBE Control. Do you read? Run this for a computer data check and positive l.D. The German Club officers appear to be part of PROBE Control , but are actually reviewing word lists for quarter tests. Secretary-treasurer Linda DeBeer reads from the book while Vice President Lori Hammer and President Cathy Hoffman listen to tapes. Little Tommy Tucker sang for his supper ... butin this case it is Miss Barbara Seeley and Jerry Kraushar exercising their vocal chords prior to eating. They gather around the piano for a few French verses before sitting down to a glorious feast prepared by Miss Seeley and her club. h-.X
