Mr. Guido Kauls German Club Celebrates Holidays The German Club’s 150 members make it the largest club at Minnehaha. Forty new members were inducted in October. 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.

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. Gina LeBrun and Nettie Olson get the giggles while acting out an original French skit. Amity aide Evelyn Nehou. Spanish Club members Michelle Zajac, Amy Grossenbach. Chi Hum Paik.

Vicki Ackland studies her test before handing it in. 9 10 English Tackle Term Paper Short stories, The Pigman, tiresome grammar, essays, mind wrenching poetry, cliches, hyperboles, and the dreaded term paper are just part of ninth and tenth grade English. All five teachers, Miss Olson, Mrs. DeVries, Mr. Lindmark, Mrs. Ebner, and Mrs. Lewis, alter the course material slightly, but basically it is the same for each class. This year, Mrs. Lewis' and Miss Olson’s classes both held a mock trial. The trial was based on a murder in the story “The Haircut.” Miss Olson played the judge as they debated the fate of the two suspects. Some ninth graders read Romeo and Juliet while others did oral book reports. Tenth graders once again did a term paper during third and fourth quarters. 30 — English Juniors Tracy Bannick and Chris Boydle chat with Mr. Lindmark while he collects money for an English field trip.
