106 Francophiles Enjoy Food, Films, Fun French Club continued its tradition of moti- vating students to pursue their interest in France and French culture. Advisor Madame See installed Deborah Park as president in the fall, and Jennifer Barbee assumed the post during the second semester. French Club continued its age-old tradition of Christmas caroling at homes for the elderly and watching French movies; of course subti- tles proved to be a savior in the latter case. Several members attended French Camp near Big Bear for a w eekend during november and April; French only — no English! was the rule. An oral speaking contest was also held in April. Highlights of the year were the stylish club t- shirts, which featured an Eiffel Tower logo, and the Mardi Qras celebration. A beach party was planned as the year ' s closing event, -e.c. 1.

Teams Excel Once again, Dana Hills ' academic teams dominated not only the other schools in the district, but also those in the rest of the county. The Senior- Junior Academic Decathlon team competed in the most difficult compe- tition in recent years. After coasting through county prefims, the team competed in county finals and fin- ished, as usual, ahead of our feline neighbors to the north and the mys- tics to the south. The Kiwanis Bowl team ripped the competition apart at the county pre- lims, thus carrying on the five-year do- mination of its division. The team strangled the Tritons and brushed aside the feeble Cougars, then looked forward to decimating their oppo- nents at the Fallbrook Invitational and DC Riverside Invitational. Coaches Sherrill and Dunn both pre- dicted that the sophomore team would be strong and looked forward to asserting Dana Hills ' continuing dominance in all academic events. For results of the sophomore and freshman triumphs, please see the Spring Supplement, -e.c. 1. The Academic Decathalon team looks over another physics problem during an all-day cram session. 2.
