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.

Students looked forward to Game Day to play old favorites, create new Swedish games and learn how Swedes have fun. 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. Swedish students also learned about different provinces in Sweden, customs and culture. On Dec. 13 Lucia Day was celebrated with peper kakor and julbrod. Santa Lucia is a second year Swedish girl dressed in white with a crown of candles and a coffee pot in her hand.

President Jane Thomas felt the club was popular this year because of activities and Herr Kauls’ reputation as an excellent teacher. Club participants received extra credit points for attending activities. On Oktoberfest, the German Club held a hay ride and weiner roast. St. Nikolas Tag was celebrated Dec. 6 with games and songs. Faschings Ball was celebrated by third, fourth and fifth year students. During Language week, the German Club seniors put on the convocation and wore costumes and held a bake sale. Money was raised by collecting $1.50 dues and by bake sales. All money was used to pay for buses and, according to Jane, to “keep the alive and active German Club flourishing in the years to come.” Maren Batalden and Jane Thomas draw the setting for “Die Alte Dame (The Old Woman) as part of final exams for fifth year students. 3rd year student Ann Gamble chews crackers and then tries whistling during a German Schulertag.
