Mrs. Jean Hanslin would go down the alphabet and randomly choose one person to plan game day. First year students did a 2-3 page report on a famous Swedish person, which they presented orally.

Lisa Hoo and Wendy Birt discuss a slide presentation in 4th year French during final exams. Language Week Is Highlight For French The French Club was so active it was hard to decide which activity to attend. In addition to academic extra-curriculars, such as the state French contest, class points were earned during Language Week in March by wearing costumes and preparing food. Another addition to this year’s French classes was special tapes, formerly only available in class, which students could check out. The smaller fourth and fifth year classes worked mainly with oral interpretation and drama. Evelyn Nehou, the French Amity aide, taught general lessons and culture.
