Spare time brushed aside Artistic students created a new organization, the Art Club. Designed to provide a medium for students to appreciate art, the club also introduced them to innovative techniques in creativity. Talented Statesmen were drawn to the club. Participation in the art curriculum wasn't mandatory; anyone with interest could join. Club members dabbled in spreading their art appreciation to the entire school. They planned to construct a fountain in the middle of the courtyard in early spring. Gutter balls and splits were the dreaded terrors of Boioling Club members. The Rolling Statesmen pitched their spare Wednesday afternoons hoping for a lucky break. Striking out for the Bowl America alley in Falls Church, league members competed in a convivial atmosphere. Companionship and enjoyment were just as inviting to members as the opportunity to improve and win awards. Bowlers pinned down a new cause for their league. They conducted a charity drive for the Potomac Lung Association. Students were sponsored by friends and relatives in a charity competition, with sponsors pledging small change for each pin knocked down. Framing their hopes on rewards, some members awaited trophy distribution at the end of the year. All club members received patches from the American Junior Bowling Congress for their involvement in the club. Pressure from the opposing team forces Kevin Schrader to think things over as he mentally adds up his scores before he bowls his next frame. Ross Panncton watches the alley. While attempting her next figure, Emily Vaf-iadou skillfully molds away the excess clay. Perfect form must be mastered by amateur bowler Aimee Balint before becoming more advanced.

Separate languages parallel activities Ethnic emphases of the two cultures differ, but the French Club and the Spanish Club were similar in many ways. Discussions of visits to foreign lands, field trips to local restaurants, and involvement in the International Week were activities of both clubs. The major topic of discussion at French Club meetings was a trip to Quebec, Canada, planned for spring. Financed individually by club members who wished to go, the trip absorbed much of the club's attention. Spring break also was the time for the Spanish Club's trip to Spain. Exploration of various cities was the theme of this cultural experience. The trip was funded by the students who wanted to participate in it. An excursion to the Chez Andr£ restaurant gave French Club members the opportunity to practice their language and test French cuisine. Crepes and pastries also were available to club members and other students at Marshall's International Fair. Sampling foods prepared by Spanish Club members took place after club business was discussed. A Spanish meal was enjoyed at a local restaurant on a club field trip, which was financed by club dues. Spanish students also contributed to the International Fair. With a 3.0 grade point average and a 3.6 language average, students were eligible for the Spanish and French Honor Societies. Strictly honorary, the clubs recognized students for their academic achievements, while club inactivity reigned overall. Entertainment in the form of a slide show at a Spanish Club meeting captures the attention of Laurie Thompson.
