Both the Student and Adult chapters of the McHenry Amer­ ican Field Service program held first meetings of this year last week. Ena (Nena) Meza Ram­ irez, this year's A.F.S. stu­ dent from Lima, Peru,attended both meetings to be introduced to the community. Nena left first impressions of delight for being received "better late than never", and the concensus was that she ap­ peared to have an obvious sense of humor and "well worth waiting for". Both chapters were busy making plans. Two freshmen, Nanette Romani and Pam Ry- den, and two sophomores, Jean Bessler and Mary Dicks, vol­ unteered as class representa­ tives. The students are having a "cut-off" day this fall for fund raising. AFS will have a float in the homecoming parade and volun­ teers should contact Kurt Easton, president, or Miss King, liaison. The Adult meeting next month will include a film telling a warm story about two AFS stu­ dents' experiences in the United States. A joint effort sched­ uled for Saturday afternoon, Sept. 27, is a shower for Nena to be attended by female mem­ bers of both chapters. This AiAerican Field Service pro­ gram is a comnjunity-wide pro­ ject endeavoring to reach and benefit all interested citizens including local groups, etc. It brings students from countries all over the world to the United States and also sends American teen-agers abroad, offering each experiences in a culture other than his own.
