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.

Changes In Culture Black Student Union, Foreign Exchange and International Clubs Bring Students Together. Black Student Union, Foreign Ex- change and International clubs combined knowledge of cultures with the enjoyment of parties and the association of friends. Al of the clubs helped individuals understand the different aspects of their culture. Black Student Union members raised funds to produce a program on black his- tory over cable channel twenty- two. Foreign Exchange students shared knowledge of their home country with students here at school. In the International Club students joined together to help students from other countries feel more at home. Fund raisers were used as a tool to help students reach goals in ac- tivities, including a hayride to Old MacDonald's farm and dinner at different ethnic restaurants once a month. In addition to these activities, weekly guest speakers or club members presented programs to help increase knowledge of differ- ent cultures. These organizations helped stu- dents of similar backgrounds come together, share- exper- iences, and at the same time, learn and understand other cul- tures. Design by Kirsten Bednorz.
