Latin and Learning From Ceaser to soothsayers, the Latin Club had a busy year. Sponsored by Ms. Marie Ikenberry, it gave students an opportunity to extend their classroom work to an added dimension during activity period. In the spring the club took part in the city-wide foreign language fair by running a soothsayer tent and telling everyone’s fortunes. The National Honor Society helped to improve fortunes by offering students free tutoring before exams. With the aid of sponsors Ms. Anna Koontz and Mrs. Fran Alwood. members offered to help other students prepare for mid-terms and finals. Mrs. Alwood also offered her advice to the newly-formed Careers Club, which unlike the Honor Society, met during activity period. They explored the outlook and possibilities for many occupations. Meanwhile, the stage provided a source of preoccupation for the Thespian Club. Members investigated all aspects of the field from voice projection to make-up techniques to actually appearing before the footlights. Murder Near the LaRue Morge was presented in early January.

Games, Old and New “Our current balance is what? exclaimed Spanish Club sponsor. Mrs. Bonnie Cavender. The Spanish Club started off the year on the right foot by building the treasury to a level it had never reached before. Members earned several hundred dollars in the fall by participating in the school-wide magazine sale. Bake sales provided additional revenue. All of this money was used to finance such activities as a trip to a musical comedy, dinner for senior members at Chi-Chi’s, and participation in the city-wide Foreign Language Fair. The club also sponsored a young girl in Guatemala. Mr. Robert MacTaggart, another teacher in the foreign language department, also sponsored a popular club. He brought the European sport of Petanque and made it the main subject of the Chess Backgammon Petanque Club. Although the group was a new one, it was a successful year. Some members had trouble deciding which of the interesting games to play. The Bridge Club came back to activity period after two to three year absence. Mr. James Tate, sponsor, taught members of the club the angles of bridge play, and the students had great fun during exciting games. A new organization was the Puppets Club. The club was sponsored by Miss Trudy Horton, youth director at First Baptist Church. Although the group was small, it drew many imaginative students. Frank Goldsmith stated, “We have a good club for people who are creative and we hope to grow larger next year. Bridge Club left to right: Scott Long. Grier Stotlar. Kim Mitchell.
