' 0 R G A N I Z A T J The foreign language clubs are to learn more about the culture of the language and also to get together with a large group of people that have a common interest. Hi, hola, bonjour Learning to speak a new lan- guage takes more than just learning how to speak it, write it and read it, you must practice it. I think of being in the Span- ish Club as a challenge. In fact Spanish is a language I always wanted to learn, and the club offers many colorful activities which challenge and invigorate my desire to master this beauti- ful language, Jeff Nodd, Elev- enth grader said. This year it was a difficult year for both the Spanish Club and French Club to have meet- ings because of the teacher vs. Board of Edu cation dispute. Even though keeping the French Club together was a lit- tle hard, I think we were more organized this year than we ever were. French Club had some problems and 1 think that the school could ' ve lend a hand. Otherwise the cabinet did ev- erything that needed to be done. We even had a trip to L ' Express Restaurant and the club mem- bers enjoyed it and are hoping for more trips like it, Tricia Estares, president of the French Club said. The clubs are not thought of only as a place to enrich your- self with foreign culture but also to make friends. Everyone has joined this clubs for differ- ent reasons. T think the purpose of the Spanish Club is to bring stu- dents together who have a com- mon goal to learn about the Spanish culture. It also provides a place to get together and be- long, we get a sense of compan- ionship, Reginal Huntsman, Twelfth grader said. I joined the French Club be- cause it gives college credit and also because I like being in ex- tra curriculum activities, De- anna Duong, Eleventh grader said. Getting together with a group of people that have a common interest is both educa- tional and fun. Bv Heidi Lazo I ' m starving — French Club members walking inlo L ' Express Reslauranl.
