The Quest for Culture The Foreign language Clubs began the year with a variety of fund raisers. The Pan American Student Forum sold crystal and Current stationery to raise money for the trip to Mexico during Spring Break. The French Club sold French candies, and the German club sold gummy bears. The French and Spanish Clubs each sponsor a restaurant during lunch and sell food, desserts, and beverages from their native countries. Each club participated in the Bayou Festival and plans to compete in the an- nual Foreign language Festival at Stephen F. Austin. All three clubs were very suc- cessful with the competition. The French, German and Spanish students brought home distinguished awards and topped their performance from the year before. At the contest they have the opportunity to display the skills they ' ve mastered in sightreading. achievement tests, and oral presentations. Miss Sandra McDermott is the sponsor of the German Club. Under her guidance the German Club members hosted and entertained approximately 20 German exchange students for three weeks during the month of April. It was a very unusual JuniofS Marion Keiiri.

They were able to ex- change cultural ideas and develop long lasting friendships. During Spring Break the French Club, sponsored by Mrs. Fostelene Kulvicki. spent a fun-filled week m France. While in Pans they visited the Cathedral of Notre Dame, the Eiffel Tower, and spent much of their spare time shopping. They also did some sightseeing outside of Paris. They saw three chateaus and absorbed some culture at The Louvre, a famous museum in Paris. The trip inspired me to continue my study of French possibly at a university in Paris. said Pamela Broman. the president of the French Club. I think everyone had a great time! added Pam. At the end of the year each club has a dinner at a local restaurant and is honored at the foreign language banquet. Mrs. Hamm. sponsor of the Pan American Student Forum, said that the purpose of learning a foreign language is to gain communication understanding. )0b skill, and to meet the college entrance requirement.
