Customar Traditions Discovered by Clubs This year the Russian Club and its twenty member group attended an array of activities both at school and away. They included the Traditional attendance of the Portland Russian Orthodox church Easter service and their annual Russian Banquet where members and families brought food customary of the Russian people. The advisor of the club, Ms. Merker, made a tour of the Soviet Union with several students from C. R. in the 1972 summer which was not only educational but also one of day to day survival. With the money that was made through many fund raising activi- ties, the club purchased a Russian egg painting kit. The process is called psanky and takes many long hours to complete one egg. Many of the eggs are considered family heirlooms and are passed from one generation to the next. The major purpose of the Russian Club was to leam the culture of the Russian culture and to better understand its people. The presi- dent of the club was Cheryl Kelly. Within Spanish Club, effort was made to make students more aware of the culture of Spanish speaking countries and their citizens. The club members helped in surrounding elementary schools in Social Studies classes when Central and South America was being studied. Heading the year's activities was a dinner in Portland fol- lowed by the show, Man of La Mancha. Spanish Club was a partic- ipant in the foreign language week-end retreat. Money raising pro- jects aided in the rental of Spanish films and donations to A.F.A. students. Officers for the year included: President, Margaret Coppleg Vice-President, Karen Kellyg Secretary, Patti Schleing Treasurer, Terry Webb. -M.. .,L, i vw C w'tf? s 1. - T s as X , i . it 1, - ' T TM ' T 3 . au ti, gg. ,. isitugggykw W, b .

More Members More Activities The French Club, also known as Les Gais Francais, small in number, but desiring to play a part in Columbia R.iver's activities, accomplished several goals during the school year. The language retreats, a pickle sale, selling programs at the Fort vs River football game, the annual Christmas party and dining at a French 'Restaurant were some of the activities that kept the group occupied. International Week was a first time expe- rience at C. R. this year and the French Club members were extensively involved with the event. One problem that faced the organization was that of membership and attendance at meetings. It's not necessary to be in French classes in order to join French Club. The more members the more things we can do! quoted Vicky Hills. The officers for the year were: President, Tracy Baynesg Vice- President, jean Landerholmg and Secretary, Vicky Hills.
