Over one-hundred students participated in the French Club. Why did they have so many more members than any other foreign language club? The answer is simple. The French Club had some kind of French-oriented activity every month. Members attended the French movie Les Comperes, a picnic with the other foreign language clubs, a trip to the Renaissance Festival, a Christmas party at a students’s home, a trip to Jones Hall to see The Bejart Ballet, ice-skating, and a French banquet at the Magic Pan in the Galleria. The club also made and sold creampuffs to the school in March and crepes in February. Competition was strong in French Club. Not only did they compete with Latin Club in a friendly game of volleyball, but they also played the Hastings French Club at the end of the year. ‘‘The club is open to anyone interested, and not just to French students, said President Thanh Ho. The French Club is known to have more students involved in activities, remarked Mrs. Hogshead, the French Club sponsor for eight years. We had over thirty students from the French Club alone attend the Renaissance Festival.” By D. Hund. Reporter Club Sponsor Mrs. Hogshead before crepe making d; explains how to make crepes Photo by M.

This was the theme of the Latin Club members on their way back from the state-wide Latin Club Convention. The club had never before attended the convention, which was a weekend-long series of tests covering all different categories of Latin, along with physical competition in their own small version of the Olympics. The club is usually pretty competitive toward other foreign language clubs.” explained Ryan Trainer, treasurer. But we also get along well with them, like at the Renaissance Festival. That was a blast! All members looked forward to their yearly visit to the festival. Other activities a little bit closer to home consisted of stadium clean-ups, after school meetings, picnics, and softball games with other clubs. In the three years that I’ve sponsored Latin Club,” said Mrs. Harris. I’ve noticed a great increase in the number of members and the amount of enthusiasm in the club's activities. The students are interested in the Latin Club because of their interest in classics and the desire to have a good time.” stated Mrs. Harris. By D. Hund, Reporter After a long day at the Renaissance Festival, mem- bers are ready to come home. Front: K. Hsiany, W. Ng. M. Lateef, D. Minni; Back: D. Kauffman, R. Renton, D. Karkhu, B. Myers, L.
