LE CERCLE FRAN AIS Officers of the 1968-69 Le Cercle Fran- cais were: Gay Greengus Vice-Presi- dent; Rande Hedgecock, Secretary; Chris Gresham, President; Ann Levy, Treasurer; and Diane Askew Vice-Presi- dent. Le Cercle Francais, Byrd’s oldest organization, sponsored by Miss Jane Rucker, opened its first meeting of the year with a French interpretation of “Goldilocks and the Three Bears.” Done completely in French. members of the club portrayed the characters. It proved to be a very amusing and interesting experience for everyone. Slides of France and a speaker high- lighted another Le Cercle Francais meeting. On a more light- hearted note, the French Club members played games of French Bingo and sang Christmas carols in French at the December meeting. Delicious refreshments, prepared by the mem- bers, are served at each monthly meeting. After the program and refreshments, the meetings are adjourned by the presiding officer. Listening to recordings in French improves the student’s ability to understand the language. Candy Covington, Harriet Jennette, and Ber- nard Johnson listened to one of the dialogues.

DISTRIBUTIVE EDUCATION Trained Officers Secretar ’ for 1968 1969: •Treasurer. Sam Johnston, President; Anianda Ford, The grocery boy who carries out sack after sack of food, the ever-smiling waitress who attempts to make every meal a pleasure, the amiable salesman who always tries to please the customer—all these labels may be applied to the varied members of the Byrd Distributive Education program. Stu- dents participating in this organization receive on-the-job training and are skilled in such varied business activities as the retail, wholesale, and service-selling fields. D.E. students attend three classes a day and then proceed to their various vocations, where they spend the rest of the day “earning while they learn.” Activities opened to D.E. students are the Employer-Employee Banquet, the Faculty and Business- men’s coffees, and the state and national conventions. Spon- sored by Mrs. Alice Stravelemos, both juniors and seniors are eligible for membership and the chance to receive a place in the fascinating world of business early in life. Keeping all articles of rlothing in an attractive and orderly manner was only one of Amanda Ford’s many responsibilities at a downtown department store. Helpful service and a smiling face make any meal taste better. Mike Tartarilla took an order from a customer at a local restaurant.
