n the International Scene The students of Russian, Spanish, French, Latin, and German, the five languages taught at Edmondson, joined together to celebrate Christmas with an International Party. Carols from the homelands of these languages were sung by the students of each language. The party sponsored by the Language Department, also featured Christmas food from the various countries. This party was not only fun, but it was also a unique culinary experience. Signs saying Merry Christmasi' in five languages were placed around the cafeteria. The members of the United Nations would have been quite at home at Edmondson on the day of the international Christmas Party. The United Nations Group was sponsored by Miss Lyda Keating to stimulate interest in the United Nations Youth of Maryland, and in the UNICEF Halloween Trick or Treatv program to raise money to support the work of UNICEF. Eighty Edmondson students raised 55382.17 this year. Members participated in an annual city-wide meeting celebrating United Nations Day, in an assembly at Edmond- son, and in the Conference for High School Students spon- sored by the National Conference of Christians and Jews. ,ff W M W s.,,,, THESE STUDENTS PARTICIPATE ' ch U 'ta N ' WZ Wf f47ffWW 2vm'x 'W' UNICEF Halloween dave. m e me 'mm e - 42313.
