Class-Related Clubs Learning and having fun are two very different ideas that do not often fit together. But the clubs included on these pages are exceptions. These clubs, called academic-related clubs, all have their counterparts in the school day. But it is that little ingredient, fun that makes them enjoyable. Biology Club contained biology students who want to learn and experiment further than what is possible in class. Besides making a D.N. A. mole- cule (left), they also experiment with the breeding of fruit flies. The language clubs, Latin and Spanish, meet to learn new vocabulary and to have fun with words they learn. The D.N. A. molecule in the picture is one of the projects the Biology Club and its sponsor, Mr. Hiland, made this year. Mrs. Hess sponsored the Spanish Club this year. Along with the learning of new vocabu- lary, there were many other interesting events. These included bingo with Spanish words in- stead of English and singing songs in Span- ish. At Christmastime, the members c reated a real Spanish Christmas complete with a bright pinata arid old favorite Christmas carols in Spanish. With Elaine Carlson as dictator and Mrs. Chan- dler as sponsor, each meeting of the Latin Club was full of interest- ing events like Latin bingo, short Latin plays, and charades. There were parties too. At Christmastime the members exchanged Christmas cards they made; and at the Valen- tines Party, they ex- changed Valentines.
