The Next Best Thing to April in Paris Meetings for the French Club were held one day every other week. Presi- dent Gwen Jacobs, secretary Liz Combs, and treasurer Tania Kushnir all work together to make their ac- tivities worthwhile. Advisor Mary Ann Chevalier helps by contributing her own time to the club. Once a year the students of the club take a trip and have a filling meal at a French restaurant of their choice. On their own they also go to see a play. La Cage Aux Folles was the lucky choice for the year. Candy sales are a big success as fundraisers around holidays. Between their trips and sales, the French Club is definitely not slowing down. RIGHT: Gwen Jacobs presiding over the French Club. BELOW: Liz Combs keeping track of the club's activities.

If You Speak German, J oin the Club The German Club is an organiza- tion dedicated to the advancement and promotion of the German language and culture. The club members have had the opportunity to enjoy field trips, to obtain a greater knowledge of the German people, and to explore the country's rich history and many traditions. This club, however, is not geared solely to benefit its members. It is open to all individuals who desire to take part in its acitivites and learn from their peers. This year the club has sponsored a trip to march in the annual Steuben Day Parade in New York City, attended a bilingual pro- duction of Der Talismann and has organized the Second Annual Ger- man EssaylPoem Contest which of- fered a variety of prizes. Additionally the club publishes a newspaper, holds an annual club dinner at Schwaebische Alb, sponsors a trip for German GAPP students to places they would not normally get to see, and organizes many fundraising ac- tivities, the most characteristic and traditional ones being the Gummi Bear and Advent Calendar sales. The clubls members are very proud of all their accomplishments, and it is their hope that in the future the club will continue to be a prominent extra-curricular activity at WHRHS.
