Tomorrow evening at 8 p.m., the AFS Jitney will be held in the spectator gym. The Funny Company will play. The features of this event are to acquaint Maine South students with teens from all over the world, to announce the muscleman contest winner, and to sponsor a bake walk. Admission is three AFS shares. This is the time of the year to think about choosing a home for next year's American Field Service exchange student at

Maine South. A family will be chosen early next year by AFS international from a list of interested f a m i l i e s provided through the Park Ridge chapter of AFS. The basic requirements for an interested family are: a heart large enough to share a portion with another child, a mind open to the different Ufe and culture the student will bring with him, and a willingness to accept him for his differences as well as his similarities. Host families provide affection, care, gxiidance, food, and lodging. A tremendously effective matching is done by those in New York to insure that the student and his new family will get along together. If the prospective family can undertake the financial burden of the student, and if they genuinely want a student

in their home, they should apply now. For successful matching, many applicant families* are needed to provide the variety of interests, home environments, income ranges, national and religious backgrounds.! Exchange students come from 60 different countries and are selected with detailed care for adaptability and capability so that they may well represent their country. Like all human beings, they may have some annoying faults and lovable virtues . . . and so may host families. Think about it. If any student and his familj' feel that they would like to participate in this exciting and very rewarding experience in international friendship, contact Sue Bradtke, Student AFS Chairman, or Mrs. Harkin, faculty advisor for AFS.

Brotherhood Society Buys State Flag David Switzer, president of Brotherhood Society, presented Dr. Watson with a new Illinois state flag in honor of the official beginning of the Illinois Sesquicentennial Year. Beginning Monday, December 4, and for a year thereafter, two flags will be flown from the flagpole at Maine South. The upper flag will be the American Flag, which is flown every day school is in session. Below it, wijl be the new state flag of Illinois. December 4 marks the 150 anniversary of Illinois' entry into the Union as the twenty-first state. In accepting the flag. Dr. Watson indicated that it would be flown daily as a reminder to students, faculty, and others of the rich heritage and the cultural, political, and economic importance of the state of Illinois. The original idea for the display of the flag grew from discussions with Mr. Joseph Stilp, chairman of Maine South's Sesquicentennial Committee, and Mr. Otto Kohler, chairman of the History Department. "Illinois has one of the most beautiful of our 50 state flags, but, unfortunately, few Illinois-

ians recognize it Even fewer know the motto, "State Sovereignty, National Union," which appears on the banner held by

the eagle," said Mr. K(dilcr. "We hope," said Dr. Watson, "that other schools in our area will foUow Maine South's lesd

and that flying the state flag at high schools will become a custom in Illinois as it is in California and Texas."
