Talent show m « a m iiujiiii ' yi I ■ 11 , w H jB k m Wmt « HRI W ' nifll C 1 Individual talent among Band- freaks was evident as Marshall gained substantial representation in selective Regional Bands. As a group, the Wind Ensemble won $150 first place in a special Wind Ensemble festival at Langley High School. Due to the gas shortage, competition was limited to the Area Festival in March, and plans for the annual exchange trip were shakey. Per¬ formances, however, were not scarce. The Winter Concert met with a sizable, appreciative audi¬ ence, and the bands combined, as the Marching Band, boosted spirits at the games. Outnumbering superb seniors, the underclassmen domi¬ nated a fine year. Bandfreaks is a stereotype compa¬ rable to Jocks. 76

Language Clubs Spark Student Interest Here they are with those gummi bears again! Ever wonder what un¬ dercover organization was behind these little jelly-like creatures? Then the answer to your dream is the German Club. Not only did they sell gummi bears and pretzels, but they went ice skating, hiking, had progressive dinners, and a St. Nicholas party. One of Marshall ' s most active clubs, the German Club, partici¬ pated in the National Federation of Students with Germany which en- titl es them to student exchange and guest speakers. Each member also regularly received Rundeshaeu, a German newspaper to help further their knowledge of the German cul¬ ture. The Spanish Club initiated new members, shared past summer ex¬ periences and talked about club ac¬ tivities at a picnic at Great Falls. After the awkwardness of new members wore off and the oldies put last year in it ' s place, the club got busy on a progressive dinner, and dined in Spanish and Mexican restaurants which gave members ideas for the meals they contributed to the International Banquet. The Spanish Club was not only active at school but out of school as well, way out of school. As far out as Bolivia where the club supported a foster child. The growing Russian Club was fi¬ nally blessed with a Russian Lan¬ guage class. Meeting one period daily, students furthered their knowledge in Russian History and culture as well as the language. During the year members went on picnics and took an active part in Marshall ' s International Banquet. If your interest was in French or the French culture, the French Club was the place to be. Exciting activi¬ ties like bowling, ice skating, and going to a French Restaurant highlighted the years events. French food and entertainment added to the success of the International Banquet.
