Mardi Gras held for spring sports The French Club participated in a wide range of school activities dur¬ ing the past year. Members turned out to support their school by deco¬ rating for homecoming. They also entered Tony Fleenor in the Miss Student Follies contest in the Fall. Besides showing enthusiastic sup¬ port for the school, the French Club sought to raise runds in order to bring another AFS student to Battle next year. Although the rough win¬ ter forced them to cancel some of their projects, they were able to raise some funds as well as having a great year. With the coming of Spring, members forged ahead on plans for the Mardi Gras in celebra¬ tion of Spring Sports. They closed the year with a party for Nathalie Renard, our AFS student from France. Officers were: David Hay¬ den (President), Danny Moody (Vice President), Lisa Sharrett (Sec¬ retary), Ricky Phillips (Treasurer). Sponsor was Mrs. Sandra Kem- mish.
