Culture Clubs Spanish, French and German Clubs Provide A Difference at Dobson Even though they involved three different languages, the main goals of the French, German, and Spanish clubs were to expand their knowledge of their respec- tive countries. We learned a lot about Ger- man culture and food, com- mented Wendy Woodward. The German club provided several scholarships for students to visit Germany and also received Ger- man teens into their homes. Many found the French Club to be an extension of French class. I have been able to understand the culture in ways not possible in class, said Kris Marsh. The major event of the year was sponsoring a car wash to benefit the restora- tion of the Statue of Liberty. Because of its location, the Spanish club found Arizona the perfect place to study the Mexi- can and Spanish cultures. The high point of the club's year was going to Mexico and attending an Ari- zona festival about the Mexicans. Design by Patrick Harvan. Photos by Karen Herbaugh and Andy Phelps.
