Language Clubs Combine Knowledge And Fun In its second year, the Latin Club decided to start the year on a very friendly note. The first activity was a party at Sicily's Pizza. The purpose of this was to get acquainted and to discuss upcoming projects. One such project was the Latin play. The Latin members put on an informal version of Pyramus and Thisbcc for the students body during activity period. However, the main project was preparing for the Annual State Latin Convention which was held in February and hosted by LI IS. There were three general areas at the convention- academics, art, and athletics. During the academics, students were tested in ten areas, including mythology, history, vocabulary, and translation. Various art competitions included water colors, drawing, and photography. For the athletic types, there were chariot races, a 440 M. Relay, various dashes, and a discus throw. Then, of course, there was the costume contest in which members could make costumes similar to mythological characters. All members did well, resulting in a top ten finish for the team as a whole. Patrick Shaffner and Gayden Carr were selected to go on to the national level of competition. The final order of busi- ness at the convention was the election. When the votes were tallied, Gayden Carr was announced to be the Vice President of the State Organization. For the first time, the International Club split into two com- fletely separate clubs. The rench Club started its first year with a trip to New Orleans. There they visited the Prcsbctyr and Cabildo as they learned about the French and Spanish influences in Louisiana. Next, the club gathered together to listen to Dr. Robert Lafayette talk about language in general, how different sounds can affect words, and how body language differs for each culture. For a different presentation, member Ashley Burgess gave a talk, complete with slides, about her trip to Europe. For fun and games, the members participated in the Waiter's Race. Derived from a race run in Paris, students raced around the courtyard carrying a tray with a glass of water on it. Just as the International Club had always done, the Spanish Club continued to sponsor a little f;irl in Mexico. Her letter in-ormed the club that the money sent to her had been used to buy school uniforms, textbooks, and groceries. While the French and Spanish Clubs were separated this year, they did manage to pull together to renew the International Club tradition of having a soccer game. For this special occassion, tne two clubs invited four exchange students to come join the fun. For the first time, the Spanish team lost to the French, though Mrs. McCarron insists that it is only because we lent them our players because they did not have enough. While many people use the phrase, knowledge lushing to one's head, Trent Massengale tries to see it standing on his head will help him at the Latin Convention. Not only did they learn about mythology and history at the convention, but Deborah Sternberg and Kathleen Weldon found out what Latin food is really like. Latin French Spanish Clubs 31
