These clubs gathered together weekly to learn what foreign countries are really like. They studied the culture of their language and left the paperwork to the classroom. During the year all of the clubs gathered together to go Christmas caroling and visit a play at Linfield. This years French Club was led by President Karen McClung and Ms. Goyak. During the year the French Club met to organize activities such as going out to dinner, watching movies, and having a Halloween party. Divertido, Fiesta, and amigos” was what the Spanish Club was all about. President Michelle Reeder and Mr. Shelmerdine headed the club. The Spanish Club sponsored the Christmas car- oling and they also went out to dinner at Gar- cia's. Toby Lafrance and Katherin Preslan were Co-Presidents of the Japanese Club, which had a successful year ending at the Japanese Gar- dens. They were very happy with having the largest output of members. Fondue parties and a trip to the Reinlander restaurant were some of the events the German Club did. President Claudia Harner, Liesl Wendt, and Joy Rovang did a good job of organizing events. All in all, these clubs had a successful year in which the members enjoyed discovering the cultures of foreign countries. By Shelagh Forester

Putting Pen To Paper Walking into the Newspacer production room, one gets a sense of all-around business. The tables, cluttered with papers, photos, and layout material, are surrounded by students conversing with each other. Some are in a gen- eral state of panic over deadlines. Everybody is doing a job. The newspacer does its best to publish their paper every month, discussing the major issues of the period. For example, our Pacer state championship, being named a School of Ex- cellence,” and Mr. Turchi coming in as our new principal all made headlines this year. Mr. McCormick, the teacher and advisor states, In a democracy, access to information is crucial. The high school press should, therefore, serve in the public interest, providing the Laker- idge community with accurate information and ideas. Lately the Newspacer staff has been working more as a group, and encouraging each other to speak up so they can understand each other, and the goals of the paper itself become stronger. This year, more than ever before, there has been a real attempt to communicate with the student body, and to get the opinions of people on the controversial subjects. Some English teachers are even giving extra credit to their students who write a letter to the editor and get it printed. Also the staff is really reach- ing out, asking for new sides to each argument. This, Mr. McCormick feels, is what makes his class a special group. It seems that all their hard work is tempered In a democracy, access to information is cru- cial . . . with good times shared by all. They work hard, and they play hard-sometimes they get the two confused! I think for the most part, they earn their keep, laughed Mr. McCormick. What aspects of the class do the kids Find most refreshing? Editor Leisl Wendt says, The freedom. There are no strict guidelines — you can basically do what you want, as long as you get your work done!” Students consider this both an educational class and a fun elective. According to Mr. McCormick, They learn the theory and prac- tice of journalism. Hopefully, they also Find that fun. Okay, you are probably asking yourself — how does this group view Mr. McCormicks off- the-wall humor? While Leisl Wendt considers it corny. Fifth grade humor”, Karla Leary, the other editor, dares I laughed, and now I'm editor. Now I don't have to laugh anymore! What we have to put up with to get to the top! Schmock! Schmock!
