Griffin, who has been the advisor for the last 12 years, held the elec- tion of officers in September, who immediately began working to set up activities for Homecoming week. They organized the spirit halls and the pep rally. Some lucky girls and guys even received carna- tions, which were sold by the Stu- dent Council. They also had special activities the week before Christmas and the week of Valentines Day. These activities included sending messages and selling balloons. The Student Council sponsored the Homecoming Dance and a Sadie Hawkins Dance. One of their main goals was to increase the school spirit and the attendance at the games. Council The events planned were not all for fun. They had the Red Cross come so willing students could give their blood. The Student Council had some students talk with the people in charge of the lunch pro- gram to explain the problems they saw and to offer suggestions.

o ore Words Even though everyone who at- tended the Language club picnic had something foreign in common, a passer-by wouldn't have guessed it because not too many foreign words were uttered. But who cares about foreign languages when you're having fun? Besides the language club picnic, which was held at Nelson Park, the language clubs had other activities planned. lt seemed as though the German club had planned to win the soccer tournament at the picnic. They didg not by planning, but by executing outstanding athletic abilities from its members. The German club also planned a trip to jumer's Castle Lodge in Peoria and caroling at St. Mary's. The French Club participated in the homecoming parade and planned a progressive dinner with French cuisine fyum!D. They also planned to carol and throw a party afterwards.
