Children's faces, wreathed with smiles, are turned toward the girls who entertain them, while older patients forget their ailments for a while as they watch a talent show. Some are reading birthday cards, While others Work crossword puzzles to pass the time. Vases and ashtrays brighten up the wards, as do the smiling faces of the Junior Red Cross members who have contributed their time and talents to the hospital throughout the year. Another service group, the nurses's assistants, sacrificed their study halls to assist the nurse because there was no other time available for the operation of an organized club. swim fed 61044 ROW ONE: Left to Right, Mike Rodriguez, Evelyn Voigt, Dianne Tayler, Jennie Morehead, Marqueritte Toffton, Karen Follman, Charlotte Henderson, Barbara Wilk,Shirley Silverman.

The juke box is playing as usual,just as many cokes are being sipped, and the conversation is as confused as on any Tuesday night as the Teen Club. Things appear normal at the first casual glance, but in the babble of voices one can hear English, German, French, and even a bit of Russian. The style of dancing is different, too, as arethe clothes and hair styles, yet an atmosphere of fun still prevails. The conver- sations run in the same lines, the laughter is just as loud, and the antics are just as crazy as if this were an ordinary night. But, it is the second Tuesday of the month, one of the two days reserved for the German American Club's monthly meeting. The thirty-nine Americans and fifty-five Germans who participated during the year had a wonderful time discovering the similarities and differences between their tastes and activities. The American sponsored evenings included the Senior Class Play, roller-skating, and an Amer- ican movie. They also threw a Christmas party and hosted the German students for a day of American-style education. The German members reciprocated with a Fasching Party during March to which all German III and IV students were invited. The students and teachers strove to outdo each other and many wierd costumes were the result fthird leftj.

148 Fm dad The Pep Club, an outgrowth of G.A.A., was formed to promote school spirit in the classroom, during athletic competitions, and throughout the school as a whole. These girls, headed by President Betty Gooden, dressed in short black skirts, black sweaters and white gloves, socks and sneakers, performed for the home football games . Their formations , such as the Franldurt F and the moving drills Qbottomy, took diligent practice as well as a good memory. The Russelsheim Fasching Parade was the climax of the' year and a fitting con- clusion to their season of marching fleftl. Basketball season saw the club forming a precision cheering section which waved gold pompons to the rhythmofeachcheer.Besides performing at all home games, the Pep Club assisted the cheerleaders in representing Frankfurt at the Heidelberg game.
