panish club Compared to Spanish clubs in the past, we were the cream fthe crop. We held a dance, had guest speakers and planned trip to Mexico. We took part in the International Dinner that as held in conjunction with the other BTW foreign language lubs. Enjoying Mexican and Spanish cultures was our favorite astime, and during activity periods we learned about them special guests at club meetings. Some students from taught us traditional folk dances, and Mrs. Rose showed us how to cook real Mexican food. A new T-shirt design and an involved membership helped to our year exciting and full of Spanish culture. ont row: Becky Clark, Roxanne Roundtree, Julie Tischler, Lone Kirkegaard, Paula Jeanmard, Terri Young, Mark Hasting, Rod Brown, osalyn Pennington, Lisa Williams, Donovan Penkert, Mitch Feinman, Kim Ward, Robin Busby, Cynthia Cannon, Sadona Blake, Chris Mills, trice Rolison, Sponsor Connie Stephens.

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.

Indian club Indian club enjoyed a very active year. We became involved in various projects and went on several trips. Our club, which was open to all students, was established to learn more about Indian culture. We went to many places, including the Indian villages at Anadarko, the southwest Plains Indian Museum and the play Indians , put on by Tulsa Junior College and the Indian Theatre Co. Money earned from a successful bake sale went to order sweatshirts with Indian club insignia. We also had plans to paint a mural in co-sponsor Allyne Verkins' room depicting Indian culture. With our active participation from members and sponsors, Indian club enjoyed a productive year. Christian fellowship We met nearly every activity period to pray, sing and study the Scriptures. We wanted to provide a place away from the rush where Christians who felt the need could get support in their faith. At some of our meetings we had guest speakers from local churches to lead us in discussion and worship. We always took time to pray for each other and our school. Some people criticized us for violating separation of church and state because many of us tried to convert fellow students, but we felt we were just excerising our right to free speech. 30 Indian club: Front rowg Co-s onsorJod Fli o Neeley, Tracy Scott, Michelle Willis, Kim row: Dovey Wolford, Mike Harp, Asenath P Y PP 1 Co-sponsor Allyne Verkins, Swake.
