French play, C hrislmas dinner highlight year for club members With thirty-five enthusiastic language students, meeting every other week and a teacher or two, you have the basics of the French Club. The club was made up entirely of sophomores until Ruth Diago, Brazilian exchange student, joined later in the year. Led by Reenie Marrinan, with Mrs. Smith for supervision they learned more about the French people by experiencing some customs of France. They celebrated Christmas French-style with refreshments of Napoleons, crackers with cheese and catawba wine. One group acted out T he Night Before Christmasw narrated in French, of course! In April, to support their treasury which had dwindled with the purchase of club pins, they put on a style show sponsored by Drewls and a school dance featuring The Reasons. Miss Chickett, subbing for Mrs. Smith, helped with these fourth quarter activities.

New club gives added ou tlet for ered tivity What is the appeal of making something yourself? Many Girls found this answer in the Handicrafts Club. Once an idea was fixed upon, the girls set out on an adventure of the senses. Media ranged from needlework, rug making, Dippity-Glas flowers and macrame to anything a girl was willing to try. Nature's palette supplied the colors. Even the most ordinary materials were transformed into objets d'art. Not everyone can be an artist, writer, or composer, but when a girl takes material and fashions it into an object that is attractive, she is indeed, an artist. TOP: Marcia Gressman creates a wall hanging by pulling yellow and blue tissues through a screen. When the piece of art is finished it will say, what else but , , . Love! ABOVE: Mary Schwietz is spurred on by the thought of how her finished Choker will look. LEFT: Pat Barrett, Ellen Auger and Cindy Loeffler make Dippity-Glas flowers during club. Handicrafts Clubf3l

Two-m em ber club instructs Spanish classes Learning the Mexican hat dance? That's not exactly how S. Mary and her two Spanish Club members spent their time. S. Mary taught her girls the vocabulary of the Spanish people through various vocabulary games. They listened to records, tried out dances and previewed plays. They even tried to put on a play of their own in Spanish. With such a small club, the members taught what they learned to S. Mary's Spanish classes. What could a Spanish Club do for Neo-Renaissance Week? Well, they came up with the idea of an international food sale. Baking Cuban cookies, Mexican Kisses, and tacos, the girls also planned on singing Spanish songs to Serenade anyone who bought their delicacies. Giving it a final touch, they planned to dress in Spanish costume. Flamenco dancers also came into the school to give the girls some idea of how to do different dances which originated in Spain. TOP: Karen Elm, Mary Jo Nagel and Debbie Goemer get busy with their scissors as they work on the posters for their French dance.
