A pipe-dream became reality for French club members after spaghetti suppers, candy sales, and numerous other fund raisers brought in the needed cash. In April, 1981, members boarded a chartered bus for a week’s trip to Canada. On returning a much heard comment was, “They don’t speak French like we do.” The French Club tried new things. Shawna Carr, Joyce Alexander and Sue Smith were involved in the 1981-82 International Foreign Language Awards Competition, sponsored by the U.S. Achievement Academy. The IFLA is based on academic achievement, reading, writing and speaking ability of the language. Shawna Carr and Chuck Turner, sponsored by the French Club, were the first runners-up in the 1981 Snow Court. The major event for the Future Homemakers of America was the Daughter- Parent banquet at the Western Steer Steak House. Awards were presented for degrees of achievement. As a money-making project the FHA sponsored the Miss Bland County Pag- eant. They also sponsored a self-defense class for girls, a Christmas party for needy children, and went on several educational field trips. “Welcome to Quebec” Canadian Trip Became Reality AW . » ‘ F i ars, Touring Old Quebec.
