Speaking in Tongues Sign up for a foreign language t No, not me! Ever felt that way? Maybe you've simply never looked into the language pro- gram at CHS. Our foreign language instruc- tors offered an alternative to everyday hohum techniques. They offered the Spanish Club and the Classical League The Classical League, with Mr. Pence as the sponsor, has been in existence for 5 years. In '84 major activities included a large banquet overrunning with food. It was heartily enjoyed by all in attendance. The evening ended nicely with the screen- ing of a classic film. For added fun an all- day trip to Busch Cardens rounded out the year. The Spanish Club under Ms. Klien became more active. They spiced up the class by having parties — serving authentic Mexican and Spanish foods. At Christmas they had a fiesta with a pinata, and other festivities. Naturally they also practiced speaking Spanish. One club member planned to get a little more practice during the summer. Phillip Perrie travels to Spain for a college course. 178 SPANISH AND LATIN CLUBS

Leg Tis the Season... to Break a The drama dept, was a productive group. They produced two full length plays for the community to enjoy. Their first endeavor was Christmas Spirit, a show presented to area elementary schools. Christmas Spirit was set in a rural New England village A young girl and her father had just moved there from New York City. At first the young girl hates new homes, but gradually, through the help of several new friends, she learns the spirit of Christmas and realizes that her new home isn't that bad. Break A Leg followed in the spring, though entertaining, it was plagued with many problems. Cast and crew members quit at the last moment and then there were scrambles to find replacements. There were mix ups about rehearsal times, and the cast had to double on roles when last minute replacements couldn't be found. Despite all of the problems the show was still a success. The plot of the play was a little confus- ing. It was a play about a high school put- ting on a play about putting on a play. It was a hilarious comedy that the cast and audience equally enjoyed. 180 DRAMA
