Mr. Kenneth Andrews Sponsor Das Deutsche Verein Promotes Study of German Cultur Originally the German Honor Society, Das Deutsche Ve- rein combines the linguistic skills and cultural aspects of modern Germany. Among the group's activities were fund raising activities, the Cerebral Palsy Walk-a-thon, and a school improvement project. Das Deutsche Verein is unique among language organizations at Escambia in that it is an in- terest club rather than an honor society and all of its officers are taking a course in German. This was the most successful year for the German Club as more members have been active. This gives the group great encouragement for the future. According to the club's chancellor, James Lake, We are attempting to expand the German language program at Es- cambia. The club would like to do more to present German as the exciting, alive language that it is, rather than have it appear in the old context of the old Germanyf' Georgia Leaver, treasurer, collected jacket money from Bob Olsen, president, during Das Deutsche Verein meeting. 88

SHS Includes Exchange Students as Honorary Members The Spanish Honor Society is a member of the national or- ganization called La Sociedad Honoraria Hispanica and is sponsored by Mrs. Lee Nobles and Mr. Gerald Boone. This year the organization was fortunate to have as honorary members, Jose Stanbuk, an exchange student from Bolivia, and Daniel Szewkis, an exchange student from Chile. Included in their activities for this year, the club held car washes, a party for new members, and two inductions. Span- ish Honor Society also helped finance the Rebelaires' trip to 90 Europe. Jose had this to say about Spanish Honor Society, It is a nice group with a lot of togethemess and is a good club for potential exchange students. After his first week at school Daniel commented, I think the school and the people are very nice, although I am not used to the racial tensions. The thing I like the most is the use of variety in teaching materials.
