AC-AD-IM-Y period was a time to visit friends, do some studying, or attend club meetings. The French Club met the third Thursday of each month with sponsor Ms. Marty Slayden and planned their activities, some of which were outside of school, such as French movies and dinner at La Creperie. They also par- ticipated in activities at school, like the Tweet Week Foreign Language Day. With the help of French Club officers Carol Rogers, Jim Stone, and Teresa DeBerry, Ms. Slayden tried to have the members get together and have a good time doing things related to France. Karen Nelson believed it was a good club, very active with a lot of participation. is Grganizationsf 133

What did you do if you were interested in meeting new peo- ple, sampling foreign foods and engaging in cultural activities? Twenty-five Air Academy stu- dents found their answer by join- ing German Club. The officers were Carolyn Ri- shavy, president: John Vasina, vice president: Marylo Dawson, secretary: Lisbeth Larsen, treasur- er: and Chris Bauman, lnterclub Council representative. They helped Mrs. Diana Saunders, who sponsored the club because she was able to see the students on a non-academic level, while en- joying their involvement in the organization, to plan for month- ly meetings and other events. Throughout the year, German Club participated in many activi- ties. ln February the group went tobogganing near Woodland Park. They also held travelling dinners, where they ate one course of a German meal at sev- eral club members' homes. ln spring, the club celebrated Fasch- ing, the German equivalent to Mardi Gras. German Club was a fun way to learn about Germany and its cul- ture. lt also provided the chance to meet people from around the school, as well as students from German speaking countries, who participated in the foreign ex- change program. ?
