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. ?

One of the most exciting clubs in 1981-62 was Mountaineering Club, whose objective, as sponsor Mr. Bruce Hamilton expressed it, was to spend as much time as possible outdoors. To accomplish this goal the for- ty members of Mountaineering Club spent their weekends hik- ing, backpacking, rockclimbing, cross-country skiing, and testing their endurance by climbing 14,000-foot peaks. lt was often hard work, but the extreme men- tal and physical challenge was met with enthusiasm by all mem- bers lr, S Organizations! 137
