Heidelberg feast ends year | Bs tiation party for all new club members. Initiates had to answer questions asked in German before being allowed to sign their names in the membership book. The highlight of the evening was the bubble-blowing contest, although no one was sure who won. The club ended the year with a dinner at the Heidelberg, a German food res- taurant in Huntington. At the Heidel- berg members enjoyed German food and music. Everyone also participated in a snake dance which went through the res- taurant. The addition of foreign exchange stu- dent Silke Bodenbach added an extra highlight to the year. Silke is from Melle, Germany. Melle is located in the region of Niedersachen, in the north- western part of West Germany. Silke was able to describe German culture and lifestyles to Garrett students.

i | | | | Spanish Club Spanish Club opened the year with initiation of new members into the club. The ceremony commenced with the ini- tiates wearing plastic garbage bags all day and culminated with a contest to see who could make the best pinata blind- folded. The club also sponsored a junior high dance in J.E. Ober Auditorium. All club members pitched in to make this event a big success. Vice president Kim Penland DJ’ed the dance. A pinata raffle and re- initiates wear freshments were also featured. Spanish Club again sold pinatas. The old forms of Mickey Mouse and a bee were used along with a new Tony the Tiger form. Time was spent activity per- iods, club meetings, and after school making these pinatas. A highlight was a pinata-making party after school. For the second year in a row Spanish Club joined DeKalb High School’s Spanish Club for a Christmas party. This festive occasion was punctuated garbage bags with Spanish-English word games, the giving away of pinata door prizes, and the breaking of a large pinata filled with “soodies”’. Another successful party was with the German Club. Food from both cultures was featured along with entertainment from both clubs. The year ended with a traditional din- ner at a Mexican restaurant in Fort Wayne. Members really enjoyed trying different Mexican dishes.
