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.

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

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.

Then, and only then shall ye have peace. This is the motto of the American Field Ser- vice club, headed by Mr. Ray Brown. Aside from encouraging international peace thru understanding, the AFS also sponsored this year ' s foreign exchange student Firdevsa Nevzat. They tried to help her see the USA and understand our culture better. The club also helped our own stu- dents abroad by preparing them for their journeys. Among the activities of this group were numerous potluck dinners held at NHS, SHS, WHS, and THS. Here, Firdevsa described her native Cyprus and former senior Deb Roberson related of her summer in Brazil.
