CHEER LEADERS During the past year the cheerleaders under the leadership of Gail Potter were very aotive, with Uisa Lyane teacher sponsor. The first fund raising venture was a Slave Sale which was quite a success. In the latter part of February a Candy Sale was held. The sum of eight dollars was raised towards -the new oheerleading costumes. To help raise more funds for the costumes the cheerleaders helped organise the Spring Conoert and served as usherettes, ticket takers and messengers. FRENCH CLUB The French olub this year devoted its meetings to learning something about the French people, their language and their life. At the beginning of the year the club lead an interesting book about Montreal. 1 After this they examined many exoiting travel folders that gave a clearer picture of the people and the country. The members then learned the numbers up to one hundred so they could play Bingo in French. Mrs. Hendel, teacher sponsor, showed two interesting films as well. The French olub had a very successful and rewarding year. WOODWORKING CLUB The woodworking olub was organized this year to help Mr. Koper build different items for the school.
