Spanish club adds new meaning to language Students at all levels of learning take part in the Spanish Club s diversified program. The club ' s numerous activi¬ ties range from making a piniata for the Christmas party to having guest lecturers come to the meetings to show slides and speak on various as¬ pects of Spanish culture. Practice in speaking the language is gained through recreation and games, putting to use what has been learned in the classroom. Mrs. Pilkinton and Mrs. Arrington, club sponsors, offered new ideas and helped with arrangements. Presenting Goldilocks and the three bears for a Spanish Club meeting are Greg Roseberry, Doug Viar, Laura Floyd, Kathy Lucas, Norma Adams, and Marcia Jefferson.

Mrs. Hollis confers with Kirsten Rowe and Mike Amowitz during an after school session in German. Sheryl Ferguson looks on as Betsy Thornhill and Mrs. Hollis examine a German book list. German club brings a closer view of germany After a successful debut, the German Club, sponsored by Mrs. Hollis, launched its second year. The club was formed to provide an outlet for interested students to learn more about Germany and the German lan¬ guage. Conversations are spoken in German as much as possible. Films and guest speakers compose the major part of the programs with the empha¬ sis on modern Germany, its problems and progress. German week was observed by var¬ ious areas and classrooms in the school were labeled with signs writ¬ ten in German. Christmas was cele¬ brated by the singing of traditional carols in German. The German Club, although new at Glass, is already es¬ tablishing a firm hold in giving stu¬ dents an interesting in-depth view of the nation whose language they are learning.

French club offers interested students knowledge To better acquaint students with the customs, culture, and daily life of France, the French Club uses the re¬ laxed atmosphere of club activity as an extension of class learning experi¬ ences. Membership in the club has been en¬ larged by planning enjoyable meetings and intensified appeals. Other than speakers and films, the use of skits has given members an opportunity to practice those skills learned in class. A most entertaining example of these skits was the production of a French Christmas play. Diane Terrell, Mrs. Fore, and Tommie Sue Shelton dis¬ cuss the upcoming skit, a comedy concerning a south¬ ern French girl. (Top picture.) Mike Amowitz, Wesley Sumpter, Vivian Carr, Lolly Middleton and Beth Hardesty have fun with the American-accented French story, (center).
