One of the most successful of FHS's club activities was the Interna- tional Festival held in the Student Life Center on june 11, 1977. It was simply an amazing effort on the part of all those involved, ex- claimed Dr. Diana Battipaglia, chair- man of the Music Department. A variety of foods was prepared including Indian, Korean, Greek, jewish, Italian, Turkish, and Spanish dishes. While members of the faculty were sampling the food, musical en- tertainment was provided bythe ln- ternational Club. The International Club, advised by Mrs. Eumelia Pretel, is comprised of many students from different ethnic backgrounds. Members interact so- cially, sharing each other's music, dances, and cultures. ln addition, each year the group performs at a Foreign Language Festival held at York College. 4'q5qAQa?A if 6' C673 94,460,500 N at L, age.

Senior Council The Senior Council, comprised of elected representatives from each senior section, held numerous meetings throughout the year. Dur- ing these meetings plans were made concerning such matters as the sen- ior trip, the prom, and fund-raising activities. Money raised this year was used to finance the rental of an auditorium for graduation and the purchase of flowers and refreshments for gradu- ation and Awards Night. Some funds were also used to pay for the print- ing of programs and invitations for both occasions. The remainder was used to purchase the Senior Class gift to Flushing High School. The faculty advisor for the Senior Council is Mrs. Virginia Chan. She has helped us tremendously in all as- pects, commented Sonia Schicter, vice president of the Senior Council. She advised and guided us through the entire year and was a great asset to the Senior Class.

Asian Club The diversity of Flushing's student body is shown by its large Asian pop- ulation. To serve this group, the Asian Club was formed. The aim of the club is to organize Flushing Asians and to promote an understanding and awareness of Asian culture and the variety of na- tional backgrounds. This aim is ful- filled by discussions and proposed solutions to problems facing Asians in America. This year, an advisory panel was also created to handle in- dividual difficulties. A major obstacle facing most Asians is the difficulty in adapting to a different lifestyle and language. The club assists in a smoother transition. The activities staged by the group include excursions to plays, muse- ums, and other areas of cultural in- terest. The Asian Club hopes to promote individual awareness and self esteem not only with Asians, but with all ethnic groups.

Italian- merican Club The Italian-American Club, ad- vised by Mrs. ludith Costa, gives stu- dents the opportunity to get togeth- er and discuss Italian culture. Its pur- pose is not to separate Italians from all other nationalities, but to keep them from becoming a forgotten people. The club members need not be Italian. Any student who is interested in Italian culture is wel- come to participate. During the course of the year, the club arranged outings to nearby places of cultural interest, such as the Cloisters and the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The members not only learned about European culture on each trip, but also had great fun. Although Mrs. Costa is the founder of the Italian-American Club, she credits Mrs. Suzanne Kal- lich with keeping the club alive by recruiting new members and en- couraging older ones to become more active. rape Top Row IL-RI: Americo Frascino, Paul Capucciati, Edith Straway, Lucy Gritsch, Fernanda D'Agos tino, Carla Nasso, Alfonso Margo, Renzo Gagliardi, Bottom Row CL-RJ: Mrs. Suzanne Kallich, Bernie Raigoza, Lisa Simonetti, Peter Costa, Rita Greci, Tina Schiano, Vinny Correale, Enzo Marino.
