Wal' N,-LCAX. A five-day trip to Montreal and Quebec in March was the highlight of the French Club's year. Besides this, the Club promoted better understanding of the French culture through numerous other pursuits. Club members took several trips to French plays and movies, prepared a dinner of entirely French cuisine, and travelled to a French restaurant in Chicago at the end of the year. Other activities included a booth in the Afro Carnival and various fund- raising activities. 'The busy year had by the French Club did much to instill a love of the French culture in its members.

C ulfure ond Scholarship Broaden Horizons In September the members of the National Honor Society decided to work towards a long-range goal: the establishment of a partial scholarship to McNamara to be awarded to an incoming freshman. Throughout the year the Society sponsored a variety of fund-raising activities to finance the award, such as candy cane sales at Christmas and a Valentine's Day raffle. Other activities included student exchange programs with other high schools and the twice-yearly inductions of new members. All of the Society's activities were geared to suit its purpose, which is to create an enthusiasm for scholarship, to stimulate a desire to render service, to promote worthy leadership, and to encourage the development of character in all students of Bishop McNamara High'School. 38 DAK BPS DAK

Savela with an official Letterman's jacket on the first anniversary of his ordination to the priesthood,
