Wir hatten zwei grosse und andere kleinere Feste. Zuerst war das Oktoberfest bei Herrn Scharf. Das Fest machte uns viel Spass. Hier assen wir viele deutsche Speisen. Es wurde auch viel getanzt, gesungen, und vielleicht etwas anders getan. Und wir lernten die Polka. Dann kam unsere grosse Gelegenheit. Bei dem Sprachfestessen konnten wir den anderen Studenten unsere Tanzfahigkeit zeigen. Wir tanzten schrecklich, aber es machte uns viel Spass. Im Februar war das grosse Faschingfest, das dem Mardi Gras vergleichbar ist. Die verriickten Studenten trugen viele verschiedene Trachten. Deutsches Mono- poly und Billarden waren sehr wichtig. Der Verein versuchte, viel Geld zu verdienen, weil wir diesen Sommer nach Deutschland reisen. Die Reise soll sehr interessant sein. 'W -..Wa i 9 W11 4 H if .sl ACTIVITIES 95

Unlike other clubs, this one organized and continued some of the district's largest projects. Members spent their time on two main projects and a diversity of smaller, meaningful activities. The first big project, our steadfast paper drive, sounded rather simple in Celia's weekly announcement. Actually it was chaos. Desperately trying to find a truck or car to transport the papers and frantically searching for someone - anyone - to load up the papers in the rain constituted the normal Thursday afternoon. There were benefits: seeing how far Jennifer and Kevin could heave a bag of papers and eating donuts. But the greatest benefit was that, on Thursday afternoon, we knew that we had just saved five trees from the lumber yard and made a few more dollars for the animals. We saw how the shelter needed money and our help. On several expeditions, we cleaned and painted the cages and the walls and worked around the outside. This kind of work produced headaches during and after - but the same people would return. The reason behind that work is the basis of the club. Other projects, with other members, brought money to UNICEF, smiles to children, and a home to a Colom- bian orphan. If you noticed an iris or crocus around the school this spring, you saw one of the many little deeds of the Interacters. Not all of our projects are written in capital letters. 96 ACTIVITIES The clubbers work at the Animal Shelter.
