While the Middle School French and Spanish Clubs were independent from one another, they followed the same basic projects, and even joined efforts on one event. Both clubs ate out to experience international food. The Spanish Club ate at Taco Bell while the French Club ate at the La Normandie. Both clubs held bake sales, and the money raised was used towards a special Christmas party for both clubs. Along with the sheer fun of having a party, members were delighted at the Spanish pinata filled with candy and the French X-mas cake called a Buche De Noel. Along with this, the French Club used some of its money to buy a book for the library about different teaching methods for languages. Just like the MS French and Spanish Clubs, the MS Latin Club was equally productive in raising money through bake sales. However, the Latin Club used the money for something entirely different. The major activity for the club was attending the State Latin Convention. The money raised was used to pay for students who could not have otherwise gone. The members did quite well in all three areas: academics, art, and athletics. Top scorers Buster Kantrow, Denny Lyu, and Eric Juban led the Knights to an impressive third place over the entire state. The Middle School Science Club is comprised of thirty active fund raisers who raise a lot of money with bake sales on campus. The money that is raised enables the students to make field trips to such places as the NASA Space Center in Huntsville, Alabama, the LSU Vet School, and the Baton Rouge and Audubon Zoos. Unanimously, the favorite seemed to be the LSU Vet School. The students were able to see what goes on behind the closed doors of operating rooms. They were also excited to see a twelve foot long Boa Constrictor. Other favorite places to visit were the Baton Rouge and Audubon Zoos. Students were flabbergasted when they rode the elephants. They also liked the train ride tour through the entire zoo area. Being involved in the Middle School Science Club program is definitely beneficial because it is not only educational, but also it helps the students learn to become more involved in the community. Any eighth or ninth grader who has maintained an overall GPA of 3.0 or better has the privelage of applying for membership in the Junior Beta Club. This national honor society is very select, admitting only those who have shown excellence in academics, character, community service, and leadership. Their main project this year was their annual food drive during Thanksgiving. By combining efforts with the seventh grade, the Jr. Beta Club raised and donated over 1,000 lbs. of food to the Baton Rouge Food Bank. The club was also very successful in raising money through bake sales and a free dress day. The majority of the profits was sent to help pay the utility bills for two elderly people the club adopted. The rest of the money was used to buy a flag for the NJROTC unit, a book for the library, and $100 was donated to the yearly fund raising project for the school.

A Midsummer Wight’s Dream The dialogue was familiar for anyone who had read Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream, but the setting in the Thespian's productions on October 23, 24, and 25 was a far cry from what Shakespeare had originally described. In order to ac-comondate more modern trends and tastes, the Thespians, under the direction of Mrs. Mildred Bonner, decided to modernize this well-known romantic comedy. This meant changing the fairies into roving English gypsies, and updating the setting from ancient to modern Greece. However, other than taking off the th sound in words such as doth , the language remained the same as it appeared in the original script. It was left basically unchanged because, according to Mrs. Bonner, the beauty of Shakespeare lies in his language and his uncany understanding of human nature. The actors were also able to bring out this understanding, as the audience was seen to nod and smile during some of the play's more touching scenes. The play center’s around the lives of four star-crossed lovers. Hermia realizes her true love should be Lysandcr, just as Helena knows hers should be Demetrius. Howev- er, due to some twist of fate, the guys do not recognize their true feelings. Things are further complicated when Oberon tries to help, with the aid of the mischevious Puck. Before all is straightneed out, the audience is entertained with a lovers' chase, a group of bumbling actors, and Tita-nia loving a jackass, literally. Helena begs Demetrius to return her love. She claims, that the mental torture he has inflicted has cause her to love him that much more. Snout and Bottom contemplate which is the most appropriate beard for Bottom to wear in their upcoming production of Pyramis and Thisbc.
