As the saying goes among some members — Deutsch ist Immer . This year the club began its list of activities with a field trip to the quaint Danish town of Solvang in late October. December was a busy month which started out with an international dinner at sponsor Mrs. Paula Grahamer ' s house. To wish a Frohliche Weihnachten . the club held a Christmas party- breakfast with eggs, sausage, and German coffee cakes. January found the group at the Belgium Waffle House for breakfast. The group hopes to present puppet shows, view a movie at Alpine Village, have a potluck dinner, and carry on with their well-known donut meetings . But perhaps one of the most looked-forward- to activites will be the summer tour of Europe. P- ' A fi iiii m km r German Club. ROW 1: Anne Guest. Dwayne Kumura. Mike Yoshii. Brian Kishiyama.

NOT SHOWN: Risa Lozer ■» ' V Latin Club Attends Junior Classical League Convention Although their club wasn ' t the largest, nor did they ven- ture into foreign lands for first-hand experiences, the Latin Club did host a few exciting activities which it ' s members were proud of. The new school year began with one of the most festive events in Roman life— the Sat- urnalia. Held on Dec. 13th. this feast of Saturn was one of the greatest of all Roman holidays. In ancient Rome, slaves were set free and given presents, schools were let out. and gambling was legal for everyone. On March 9th and 10th. several Latin Saxons attended the Junior Clas- sical League convention in San Jose. Calif. Here they participated in various academic and athletic competi- tions, besides dining in all the pomp and splendor of old Roman days. Later in the month, they held a banquet celebrating a historical event. Other activities included a celebration of the legendary founding of Rome and a picnic with roast pig. Club members continued their fun into the summer and participated m the national JCL Convention at Claremont College in August. Sponsor Mrs. Ruby Workman is pleased that the activities enabled them to meet Latin students from other schools . A Latin test is not the easiest thing on earth! 81

The list of activities began early m the fall with a club picnic held at Peck Park in San Pedro. Here, members enjoyed the pleasure of friends and a pot- luck lunch after a short car ride or a long, hard bike hike. December found les estudiants de francais ending the ' 72 year with a Christmas party. Other activities included a club banquet at a French restuarant, viewing French flicks, and an ICC Carnival booth for raisingfunds. Probably one of the most exciting moments for several Saxons will be when they board a plane and begin a three-week summer tour of West- ern Europe. This July, Mrs. Rische will be conducting a trip thru the countries of France. England, Italy, Switzerland, and Germany. France will be the real center of the trip with plans to spend several days each in Paris and on the French Riviera. Reading and discussing in French. Priscilla Sun aids in French. 83
