Knowledge Of Customs Marks Language Club Goals Gab sessions are fun any time, but things really get interesting when the gab sessions are in a foreign language as this year ' s the Modern Language Club found out. To belong to Language Club, stu- dents must have taken or be taking a foreign language. This year the club ' s main goal was to stimulate in it ' s members an interest in foreign languages as well as a knowl- edge of foreign customs and cultures. Dolly Porter, Dennis Dell, Diane Holom, and Paul Smith hang a pinata in the shape of Santa Claus. 30

Night Of January 16th’ Highlights Dramatists ' Year Drama Club produced two plays this year. The first one was for all the mem- bers of the club and the second one was just for senior members. The play The Night of January 16th, given by all members, was a modern courtroom trial with the audi- ence as the jury. It was given Novem- ber 12 and 13 in the auditorium. The senior play Cheaper By the Dozen was given March 4 and 5. To provide more members with the oppor- tuni ty to participate in the play, it was double cast. Early in the year the club held it ' s an- nual election of officers. Betsy Beiriger was chosen to lead the club, Karen Graffee was elected vice-president, and Pepper Reznik and Mary Kay Wester- field were elected treasurer and secre- tary respectively. Purpose of Drama Club is to intro- duce students to the theatre. Members are concerned with style, make up, scenic design, construction, lighting, costume style, and acting. Field trips were taken to Indiana Uni- versity, Gary, to see a stage play by college students. The club also ac- cepted an invitation from Valparaiso University to see one of it ' s presenta- tions. Lana Hendrickson, Kathy Miller, Mark West, and Larry Thrall are acting out a scene from the drama club ' s fall presentation of The Night of January 16th. Drama Club was very active this year with the presentation of two plays, The Night of January 16th, and Cheaper by the Dozen. 31
