Teri heads council afs
The AFS committee on Student Council meets once a week to discuss different money-raising projects and the future of the next year's foreign exchange students. At the present time they are working on an AFS club to be started this year.
"I hope it is a success," Teri added.
The AFS committee of Maine meets with the Des Plaines AFS committee on the first Tuesday of each month. Together they look over the applications for host families, select a few, and send these to New York for the finals.
Teri, a blond, blue-eyed senior, is very active on the AFS committee here at Maine. She is also a Senior Leader and has an act in V-Show with Carla Fasting, the 1965 foreign exchange student.
"I'll never forget 6th grade at Central, because I was so embarrassed when I fell out of my desk in the middle of class," revealed Teri.
"Yee Gads" is Teri's latest expression which her English teacher would not like at all.
"I liked my freshman year at Maine the best of all my four years because I enjoyed being an underclassman. Everything was so new and different which made it exciting," mentioned Teri.
Teri said that the school spirit at Maine is "much to be improved." Even though the school spirit is bad, she said that the faculty and the courses offered at Maine are excellent.
Teri thought as most Maine West students do when she said, "What I' don't like at Maine is the fact that we can't have a fieldhouse."
Her most thrilling experience was, she revealed, being maid of honor in her sister's wedding a year ago last August.
"During my four years at Maine I've learned how to accept both good and bad as far as just being able to accept things as they are and being able to cope with them," mentioned Teri.
After graduation she wants to attend either the University of Wisconsin or Albion College in Albion, Michigan, where she will take courses enabling her to be an elementary school teacher.
