Making It Count French German Clubs Sacrifice Business Parlimentary procedure and boring business meetings were two things that turned students away from clubs. In light of this, the French and German clubs took the initiative and sacrificed the business portion of the meetings so members could take part in the cultural aspects. Each French meeting was a cul- tural experience. France wasn’t so far away to members who sam- pled French cheese and listened to Scott Miller tell of his adventures there. Other activities included the play, Cyrano de Bergerac and a Mardi Gras celebration. A sock hop and lollipop sale funded schol- arships for members going to France through NACEL, an ex- change program. Baseball along the Rhein was the reward the German club received for the hard work put into their for- eign exchange program. Money from Gummi-Bear sales aided Ger- man exchange students. For three weeks students toured Arizona. Everything from camping at the Grand Canyon to learning the great American pastime, baseball was experienced. In fact, they learned so well, when juniors Wen- dy Woodward and Wade Zellmer went to Germany they found their friends playing baseball. The no business more culture angle paid off as club members discovered that extra time meant extra fun. Design by Karen Sheffield. Photos by Greg Fresquez. French Club.

Breaking Barriers Latin Spanish Clubs Gain Understanding Breaking the language barrier, Latin club and Spanish club met at a picnic to get acquainted. For the first time, these clubs had the op- portunity to learn about the coun- try that each was studying and to exchange ideas with other stu- dents interested in foreign lan- guage. Although these clubs grew closer socially, they functioned in- dependently. As a member of the Junior Clas- sical League, a national organiza- tion which promotes the culture and language of Latin and Greek, the Latin club’s first goal was to raise enough money from candy sales to attend the annual J.C.L. state convention. The remaining money was used to buy games and films that made learning Latin more fun. Spanish club concentrated its efforts on sponsoring an El Salva- doran child. Oscar Armando Ve- lasquez, and his community through the Save the Children Or- ganization. This aid program took the members from simply learning about Spanish countries to mak- ing an active difference. Money for this project and a Cinco de Mayo celebration was raised by two can- dy sales. Each club had worked towards promoting its language and get- ting involved in its country’s cul- ture, but they went a step further by learning to work together. Design by Christine Gates.
