Together we sold bagels and Advent calendars. We had get-togethers at our homes for pizza and amusements. We did most things together but we were really two different clubs. This year, in German Club, we went to compeition at Edmond Memorial High School where we competed against twenty other high schools. How did we do? Terrific, one of us said. We took the highest honor they could offer us -the sweepstakes award. Our German class placed first in a dramatic skit while our German ll class placed second. We strategically captured first and second place in chess and we easily swallowed second and third place in the beer chug lsorry, just root beerl. A second place was won for our gingerbread house. As a special activity during our trip we were able to visit the State Capitol. In our second year as a club at BTW, the Russian Club was on the move upward. We were the only growing Russian club in Tulsa because there are no others. Together we planned to establish a scholarship fund that will aid our members who plan to attend college and major or minor in German or Russian. This year we recruited new members, we worked to achieve our goals, but most of all we had a good time. i, .eff ssian Club: Front row: Melonie Mayes, Laurie Winslow.

French club Our success was different from that of years past: instead of being one of the richest and largest clubs in the school, our new sponsor, Cindy Leonard, had us settle down and study as our club activity. The new French Club promotes a different understanding of France -its people and its culture, said one member. Our group was small, but, together with the National Art Honor Society, we sold Santagrams. Although this wasn't very successful, our Foreign Language Departments' International Dinner was enjoyable, six of our female club members danced the French Can-Can. In March a selected few were able to attend La Journee Francais at the University of Oklahoma in Norman. Even with the new direction taken by our French club we tried to maintain the same Frelon spirit that Les Barbares de Vercingetorix have always had. i L-fs l 2. l, ' i fi tl if ls 1. i 1 fx ix ig t K l 1 l ,i it It 1. i Front row: Helen Singleton, Charman Jackson, Ester Nathan, Andrea Kidd, Sha Halvaci, Becky Galerston, Easter Nathan.

Latin club We had fifteen members in the Latin Club this year which is small compared to previous years. We participated in a Saturnalia, a Roman style feast, where we performed songs in Latin. We also studied Medieval Latin from books ordered from England. Ye gads - me thinks I've been stabbed is a common phrase heard from the swashbuckling practice grounds. This club is associated with the Latin Club, yet has more members. Swashbucklers were most commonly seen wearing knee-length moccasins and carrying duct tape daggers. We exercised our fencing skills and engaged in chess games, Pente and Dungeons 8t Dragons, but our club meetings were not always just fun and games. We discussed events that occured during the Spanish Inquisition and did some acting from time to time: each of us made up a character, invented a history for him, and acted out the life which we thought he may have lived. One thing our club didn't have is officers, instead, we had kings - and assassinations. Chinese club With the increased trade between China and the U.S., it was inevitable that programs be made available to fulfill the rising curiosity of both countries. BTW answered this need by offering Chinese classes for the first time in four years, and subsequently, Chinese students formedba c u . Thirteen of us met during first hour to learn the language and to plan our activities. We went out to dinner at Chinese restaurants fairly often - one time with some Chinese businessmen who were visiting Tulsa. To help defray our expenses, we sold chopshicks at school iwhich some students wore in their hairl. We traveled to Kansas City to see an exhibit of Chinese art and even talked about making a trip to mainland China. With the help of our new teacher and sponsor, Peter Dratz, we showed that, for a club in its first year, we knew what we were doing and got things done. We tried to create our own tiny drop of understanding of Eastern culture and language, and we promoted an interest in a new class at BTW. And we at least 28 fostered some unusual hairdos.
