Plans Underway For French Club Discotheque In order to combine fun and learning, the French Club planned interesting activities for its members. French customs and native ways of liv¬ ing provided the basis for all activity. At Christmas, a party was held with the Spanish Club. Special foods and special entertainment, along with a gala atmosphere, made members feel almost continental. A discotheque was held in the spring, and with Mrs. Brown ' s enthusiastic guidance, the dance was a huge success. French and Spanish students enjoy fabulous fare at Christ¬ mas party. Tables groaned with special dishes with a con¬ tinental flavor. Victor Tynes plays French songs as club members broaden knowledge of French culture. ymmmmmi • y« « | ■ IH iH 1111111 W M First row, I. to r.: Sheila Hollifield, Sandra Peters, Janice Johnson, Karen Carter, Patricia Coble, Bobbie Morton, June Ball, Carolyn Hill, Sec ' y; Dottie Lohr; second row: Vicki In¬ gold, Susan McManus, Brenda Brown, Cynthia Kelly, Linda Johnson, Mrs. Brown, Advisor; Michelle Clark, Patricia McLendon, Judy Blevins, Patty Pinion; third row: Debbie Shaffer, Linda LaRoach, Nancy Kirkman, Sheryl Connery, Kathy Clemmer, Paula Nodtvedt, Marge Norman, Carol Regan, Pres.; Susan White, Paula Swann, Freddie Dawkins, Reba Hatfield, Beverly Neiman, Vicki Simmons; standing: Arthur Cole, Charlie Huntley, Ronald Swann, Victor Tynes, V.

Prometheans Work To Encourage Drama Eager young actors and actresses had an excit¬ ing time at the tryouts for Our Town. This was the first three-act play presented at Smith, and many details had to be ironed out before the in-the- round production could be launched. Prometheans helped with school beautification, collected for Community drives, and kept working toward the purchase of a spot light for the drama¬ tic program. Many members were called upon to participate on radio and T. V. panels and all worked toward Thespian points and Thespian membership. Kerry Campbell explains palace procedure to Elaine Lewis and David Wood in production of The Ugly Duckling. Prometheans help out by working up skits during school elections.
