The Worthington-Crailsheim ln- ternational Exchange Program was started in 1956 in an attempt to further political and economic rela- tions between Germany and Ameri- ca after World War ll. The program started on a four year basis. lt then began in alternate years, and now students are exchanged every year. This year Lynn Stofferhan is Worthingtons representative and we have in Worthington Anke Pra- mor who is the representative from Crailsheim. This year a new student exchange program has been added. Youth for Understanding is the most dynamic and versatile organization in the field of teen age exchange. It offers a variety of unique opportunities to participate in an international living experience through its different programs. More than 25,000 stu- dents from forty-five countries have participated in its programs since its beginning in 1951. YFU is both inter- faith and inter-racial. Its primary purpose is to develope international understanding through a family liv- ing experience in another country. The two new additions to the WHS student body were Alexandria Vujadinovic lSashal and Fotios Had- jigeoziou. Sasha is from Yugoslavia and Fotios is from Greece. napgzx ,331 Xigggz 34, ,mu- IX? .-Q

They per- formed numerous occasions at the Atrium, Lions Club, banquets, and other public functions and concerts. In the Spring, the Colorama gave the choir members a great oppor- tunity to display theirtalent. During the past year, there were many activities and choir festivals in which the choir members partici- pated. Two events in December were the Christmas concert, which was a success attracting a large crowd, and the traditional choir Christmas party. In February, the choir was one of six featured choirs in Minnesota's Music Educators Convention at Minneapolis. The choir represented Worthing- ton in the District 8 Solo and Ensem- ble Contest at Luverne and the Region 2 Solo and Ensemble contest at Worthington.
