clubs Corner Cultural Cuisines Diners at Chugiak ' s 6th Annual International Dinner feasted on the evening of December 5, 1984. After the multicultural cuisine, the viewers moved to the new audi- torium for entertainment. The menu for the dinner consisted of Burritos and Crus- tos (Spanish), Quiche, Tarte (French), and Sauerkraut and Linzer kekse (German); all artfully prepared by the stu- dents of each foreign language class. Lively Christmas songs and humorous skits were per- formed by the 280 talented students enrolled in the foreign language department here at Chugiak High School. The languages of French, Spanish, and German were featured in all skits and songs. Proceeds from the performance and dinner went toward a scholarship for a graduating senior. Promoting foreign language in the high school and giving the community an opportunity to interact with students and teachers were the main objectives of the dinner. Sponsors Susan HeitKamp, Florence Pearson, and Jean- ette Shanigan donated their help and many hours through- out the dinner and cleanup afterwards. 30 International Dinner

Quick Thinkers Continue Strategy During the 1984-85 school year, the Drama Debate For- ensic teams competed in a variety of areas. They chose their own hne of competition and their own material. Ac- tors competed in solo and duet acting, reader ' s theatre, and pantomime. They were judged on stage presence (how well they come across to the audience), presentation, and characterization. The Forensic team members competed in dramatic and humorous interpretation, expository and extemporaneous speaking, original oration, and radio an- nouncing. These competitors were judged mainly on clar- ity and presentation. Debators were judged for presenta- tion and case. Approximately twenty members participated in D D F and were coached by Mrs. Florence Pearson and Mr. Ron- ald Metzner. Drama Captain and Student Coordinator was Lisa Orr. The teams ' first practice began in late September preparing them for their first tournament in October. The D D F teams have never walked away from a ' tourny ' without winning something , stated D D F coach Mrs. Florence Pearson. Debators Mike Pauley and Scott Seitz were recognized as outstanding members, along with Wendy Cope for solo acting. Andy Brown and Joel Roberts excelled in duet acting and Allen Bagwell was commended for his panto- mime abilities. Sharry Hingst claimed outstanding in ex- pository speaking, while radio announcer Joel Roberts also did well. In debate and public speaking, the participants learned poise, self-confidence, how to think on their feet and the art of logical thinking. With no funding or officers, the D D F teams worked well together and are very talent- ed, concluded Debate Captain Lisa Orr. RIGHT: In Dramatic Interpretation.
