Concentration is required as Margaret Johnson and Ann Willmann try their luck at intricate steps in a German dance. Club members also danced in German German Club members learned fancy footwork and hand motion from Ball State German dance instructor Richard Walters. Participants met once a week for eight weeks in hope of forming a dance troupe to perform at other schools. However, these performances, plus a nine-day trip to Germany planned for spring break, were projects that didn ' t materialize. A mid-year change in sponsors found Mrs. Claretta Dutro as head of the club. Gag gifts were exchanged at a Christ- mas party. German clubbers teamed with French Club members for an evening of roller skating at Idyl Wyld rink. The annual trip to a German Res- taurant was planned for April. Vigorous clapping during a sit-down practice was preliminary as Joachim Hartmann and Joe Leeth pre- pare to tackle more moves.

Fruit and syrup mixed for FFA The sweet and sour were combined by Future Farmers of America when they selected as major projects the rais- ing and selling of sorghum and the sell- ing of grapefruit.
