If you will look very carefully you will observe that they are all one in the same. A speaker visited the interested members and a Spanish 2 class. Estella Arridondo spoke on topics ranging from the Spanish language to the Spanish people. An enlightening and diverse group always seemed to have a good time and after all that is what it is all about. Estella Arridondo proves to be an informative personality.

After a great time at The Old Country” in September, the German Club followed this exciting adventure with an impromptu march in the Homecoming parade. We had a good club this year, but kept it loose, doing some things on the spur of the moment,” said the club’s president Jim Foundriat. Everything was kind of informal.” The club also had an Oktoberfest at Mr. Wilhelm’s that ended up a Weihnachtsfest — a Christmas party, a trip to the Virginia German Club Convention in Hampton, and pipe dreams of the club’s trip to the Fatherland sometime in the next decade were the activities and aspira- tions of this year’s Deutche Club.

Throughout the year their meetings included work on various pro- jects beginning with an award-winning float in the annual parade. Their float was named Most Suggestive of the Theme”. The Latin Club also made plans to partici- pate in an International Foods Banquet in which they worked in cooperation with the other language clubs. This year the club took on an educa- tional aspect by providing its members with the films and literature that would most benefit the club. Discussions ranged from ancient Rome to ancient Greece. The most exciting activity on the club’s agenda was the planning of a trip to Italy.
