Seventy-five youngsters between the ages of fifteen and seventeen left for Israel last week, (Aug. 18) to take a year of high school study in Israel as members of the America-Israel Secondary School Program of the Department of Education and Culture of the Jewish Agency for Israel. The program, which was launched for the first time for the academic year 1967-68 for tenth graders, now also offers courses for eleventh year studies. The tenth year course will be given at two places: the Mosad Alonei Yitzhak Secondary School in the Shomron Valley, about five miles from Caesaria, and the Hulah Valley Regional High School at Kfar Blum in the Upper Galilee. The juniors will be at Mosad Alonei Yitzhak.
