Students study ancient Rome, modern Italy Latin, considered by so many to be a dead language, was alive and well at CHS as the Junior Classical League proved. Involved in plans for a Roman Banquet in the grand style of the Golden Age, the members caught for a brief moment a glimpse of a glori- ous era now past. This new club spon- sored by Miss Evelyn Seward was unique at CHS in that each of its seven members was on officer. Though CHS was not blessed with foreign exchange student this year, the International Relations Club still had the chance to evaluate the opinions of exchange students from other schools through interviews. Through these interviews, a clearer picture of Americans as they appear to the world was created. From these interviews and from films and dis- cussions, information on life in other countries was gathered. Various as- pects of alien cultures such as food, clothing, religion, and education were of great interest to these students. A candy house that would tempt even Hansel and Gretel was the International Relations club ' s winning entry at the Christmas Dance. Roughing If for a picnic at Brown County, Internotionol Relations club members and for- eign students take to the out-of-doors for some fresh air. Sian Fornsley, Debbie Schaefer, Pam Brannum, Emilce Pisorello, and Abed Bid Onn form a circle of conversation. Initiation is a part of club life that every member remembers. In the new Junior Classical League, all members are initiates, so the club ' s only girl, Sheila Phillips, pins member Ed Hol- lett as Greg Douglas, Brent Smith, Mike Bobb, and Steve Hackman look on. 78 k H v- jHS ' 9? , ' . ij '

FFA visits Kansas; Industrial Arts expands The times they are a ' changing, according to Bob Dylan, and the Fu- ture Farmers were going along with the times. New advances were rapid- ly occurring in agriculture and FFA sponsor Wayne Coy made sure the members learned of them. In addi- tion, the boys were taught how to participate in public meetings and how to sell cooperatively, both of which are essential in the world of today ' s progressive farmer. Did you ever pass through the In- dustrial Arts wing and marvel at all the complicated machinery? To the boys in the Industrial Arts Club, run- ning such machinery was their daily fare. These boys listened eagerly to their sponsors and studied on their own, because, for them, their avoca- tion would soon become their vocation. A closer examination of the table around which the FFA members are standing reveals some of the ideals held sacred by them. Holding the lever at a certain angle adjusts the engine to a certain speed. Rex Elliot finds this a difficult and tedious job. Preparing themselves for tomorrow, the Fu- ture Farmers of America believe strongly in their club. Several club members ore gathered around the various symbols of their club and with their hands over their hearts, are solemnly reciting the FFA Pledge. 77

Language clubs learn, dream, sell Como esta usted, the breaking of papier moche pinatas laden with candies, and classic fairy tales done in an entirely different fashion all contributed to make this a rewarding year for the members of the Spanish Club. The atmosphere was definitely Latin American as members became more proficient in Spanish cookery, folk dancing, music, and literature. The beautiful life of gay Paris and the peace of Brittany seemed to come to life in the lilting conversation that greeted one upon entering Le Cercle Francois. Enlightened by the finer portions of French culture, many a member looked forward to the chance of discovering them for himself some- day in the near future. Buy a ticket for the gas sale? It ' s only $1.00! Such were the pleas of many dedicated German Club mem- bers. All was not work, however, as good conversation and skits all added to make these times ones to re- member. Qu ' esl-ce que c ' est que Le Twister? ' Per- haps la belle France hasn ' t discovered this game yet, but the French Club at CHS definite- ly has. Club member Teresa Maschino goes through various contortions while playing Twister at the club initiation. Handling the controls in a language room, Spanish Club members Steve Chappie and Jim Lienhoop lead their fellow club members. Minds all over fhe world are spinning now that Scrabble has become an international game. German Club member Marsha Levings waits patiently as Rob Fitzpatrick struggles dil- igently to make a German word on the board out of the letters he has drawn. 79
