AFS Picks
Barb Jones
The local candidate for the
American Field Service program
this year is Barbara Jones, Ash
land High junior.
Barbara was chosen on the basis
of scholastic achievements as well
as on personality.
In a recent interview, Barbara
was asked what made her decide
to apply for this program. She
said, "The world today is in a
very serious situation. We con
stantly face the threat of another
world war. So many times I have
asked myself, 'What can I do
to contribute to world peace?' As
teenager, I can do little
concerning govermental affairs.
But, through the American Field
Service, I can further increase
the understanding among the
young people of the world, and
in a few years those people will
become the leaders of their
countries."
Barbara would prefer going to
another country on the school
program rather than the summer
program because she feels she
would have a better chance to
get to know the country, the
people, their ideas and their beliefs.
Barbara has no real preference
as to what country she sent to.
but she feels it would be nice if
she were sent to a Spanish
speaking country where she could
further her knowledge of the
language.
When asked how she felt about
going, she replied "For several
years now I have dreamed about
going abroad through the Amer
ican Field Service, but I realize
that my chances are very slim!
Right now it means everything to
me, and if I should go, I would
be very proud to represent my
school and my country."
