Ten Hour Day Hurts Club n 1980, participation in German g and French Clubs declined to only about twelve active members in each club. Mr. Larry Backes, the German sponsor, suggested possible reasons for the lack of support by the student body, Because of lack of transportation and the difficulty of finding a time when students can meet, freshmen are not joining the clubs. These problems are attributable to the ten hour day, or to the lack of an activity period which would allow clubs to meet twice a month during class hours. Even though the size had dimin- ished the spirit did not. lf there were two reasons why people participated in these clubs, it was to have fun, and learn something about the culture of the country. Ms. Wilkins who was described by Sr. Asad Shahid as enthusiastic and involved , was committed to giving the members more than just an experience of the language, by introducing the members to French cuisine, movies, and music. German Club was also active by attending their traditional winter camp, going to Edelweiss for dining and dancing, and in the planning designing and painting of one of the walls in the German rooms with a Beer Stein and German and Austrian flags. 62 German Club
