Backpacker club members try to promote an understanding of the out-of-doors and camping experience. The primary goal of the group is to improve hiking techniques by sharing the knowledge, skills and experiences of others in the group. Secondary goals of the group are many, including the all-over improvement of the environ- ment. The Backpackers were a very busy club. They went skiing and hiking in Midland Forest. They also Hiked 11 miles in Pidgeon River State Country Forest. Club members also visited Mackinac Island in May. Due to the lack of school funds, the members had to pay for their own trips and provide transportation. The foreign language clubs at Arthur Hill were involved in many activities this year. They played a very import- ant part in the functioning of the school. For Christmas, the language clubs combined their singing talents for the annual assembly. Each club took turns singing their different versions of the popular carols sung each year. For the final number, the three groups ended with Jose Feliciano’s song, ‘‘Feliz Navidad.”’ Spanish club sponsored taco sales which proved to be very successful. The taco supplies usually sold out before all of the customers were satisfied. The Toberlone Sale by the German club, was a sell out also. The German Club members were busily selling the chocolate candies everywhere and the students loved it. French Club was also busy having fun raising money. Under the direction of French teacher, Ms. Deford, the Frenchmen teamed up to sell suckers. Bake sales were another form of activity by the different language clubs. Even though their main objec- tive was to raise money, they always made it a point to have fun. 1. Backpackers enjoy the view. 2.
