Creme de la Creme What do France, eclairs, and traditional lifestyles have in common? A five course meal which is becoming an annual event for Creme de le Creme members. Hors d'oeuvres, cheesecake, chocolate mousse, salads, and appetizers were a few of the luscious foods served. Before French Club mem- bers got to eat though, Ms. Hansen allowed mem- bers an inside look at traditions through her French family. “Man in an Iron Mask, a video tape, was pur- chased with the club's fund. This tape tells the story of the French King Louis XIV and his twin brother, Phillipe. Because the brothers despise each other Phillipe throws Louis in jail and ruthlessly has an irremovable iron mask placed on Louis so no one will realize his true identity. Eventually, Louis is rescued by friends and like most movies, he gains the queen's love and becomes king. As their fund raiser Creme de le Creme worked at the ice cream machine. Anyone enrolled in French class is eligible to become a member of Creme de la Creme which is sponsored by Ms. Hansen. Los Gringos Los Gringos had an enjoyable year by combining the Spanish language with activities that were relat- ed to the culture of Spanish speaking countries. Funds for these activities were raised by selling candy in the fall. At Christmas, the club visited local nursing homes and sang Spanish carols. After singing and distributing candy to the nursing home residents, members assembled at the home of club sponsor, Roxie Skaggs. Following a pizza party stu- dents broke a pinata. It was a special privilege to have two Spanish speaking students, Eduardo Ce- ballos and Carlos Rodriguez, present for the even- ing. To complete the year the club traveled to the Fiesta Cantina in Ottumwa for a taste of Mexican cuisine. Mary Harris was also a sponsor. 1. Slicing a luscious yule log is senior Shelly Stearns. 2.
