French Club One of the ambitions of the French Club is to promote friendly relations with French speaking countries. The club members are interested in ex- panding their knowledge of the French Language, literature, and the way of life of the French people. Among the entertaining educational activities which the French Club provides for its members are the listening to French-speaking records and French games. The members of this organization are enthusiastic and take part readily in the club’s activities. On their own, these scholars prepare the programs and undertake to obtain and read good French literature. In all probability, the highlight of the school year for these French Club members is the dance which they plan and sponsor. 6S

Mickie Herion and Linda Ewers read the Friday morning devotions over the intercom. Sandra Coffey calls the club roll. Tri-Hi-Y Amherst County High School would not seem the same without its Tri-Hi-Y Club. Each Friday morning, various club members promote Christian standards by conducting weekly dev ' otions through the school intercom system. Ye are indeed grateful for the inspiration provided through the weekly de- votions. To help develop good will, the girls pro ’ide Christmas Baskets for the needy and hold a Christ- mas assembly. The club holds a dance to raise funds to send delegates to the Model General Assembly held annually in Richmond. Club members arrange attractive bulletin boards throughout the school.
