BHS not exactly ' All American ' Festivals, banquets, and trips all came together as basic elements involved in the BHS language organizations — German Club, Latin Club, Spanish Club, and French Club. Deutscher Verein, German Club, made extensive revisions to the club con- stitution. Members also participated in many activities. At Christmas they adopt- ed German customs and became acquaint- ed with various crafts. They visited Ger- mantown, Indiana, an Austrian and Ger- man Music performance, and Oldenberg. They encountered German delicacies at Huntington ' s Heidelberg Restaurant. At a banquet for members and parents, an out- standing Deutscher Verein member was chosen and also a highest scholastic achiever in German. Two firsts were at the top of the list for Le Cerle Francais, French Club. One event was the summer trip to Europe, France, and Switzerland. To help earn money for the trip, hot chocolate and cookies were sold at two football games, and dances were held for the students ' benefits. Another first was the Foreign Language Festival involving French, Spanish, and German Clubs. In the spring a combined French Club meeting was held with Eastbrook. Club members were also treated to French dishes at a Christmas carry-in party. Spanish Club was also involved in spon- soring a foreign language festival. Mem- bers attended a Ballet Folklories in Octo- ber. They also took a trip to Mexico. Latin Club was still alive and active. Its main activity was a Christm as party at which the formal initiation and the annual gag gift exchange took place. Other activi- ties included a visit to the Little Italy Res- taurant, a swimming party, and a picnic party. Even though each of these clubs studied a different language, they all contributed to bring culture to the school. GERMAN CLUB: (Bottom Row) Tina Yount (pres.). Joe Leeth (vice pres.).

These seven contenders were Karen Reidy, Anne Hudson, Debbie Armstrong, Jill Cline, Lisa Arbuckle, Vicky Carney, and Lisha Willhite, along with Jerilinn Brown, secretary, and Mrs. Claudia Goodnight, sponsor, who went to Indianapolis and stayed at the Hilton Hotel for three days while competing. OEA members also had a chance to come together with the OEA ' ers from Jay County, as they were invited to their Hal- loween party. Christmas time was also party time, with members celebrating the Yuletide with a gift exchange. Training for the officers was accom- plished at the Sheraton Hotel. Goals were also a must for members, as they worked toward the executive states- man, diplomat, and ambassador awards. These were received when members re- ceived points for their help in involvement in community leadership projects. Fund-raising awards, state contests, parties, and leadership conferences all helped to make a full year for OEA mem- bers. Lots of ice was needed for the OEA meetings held in the summer, and it was up to members Cindy John- son and Cindy Johnston to get it. flBlT ' - - Look out, stomach! Here it comes!
