German Club Expanding Their Horizons by Tina Heires Fund raising, holiday parties, and planning for their trip to Germany were all activities of this year's German Club. The club consisted of advisor Maria Landschulz, ten active members, and an executive council of Pam Dralle, Robin Prier, Tina Heires, and Karla Bechen. The club held meetings whenever something came up, and needed to be discussed by the club. Fund raising activities for the club included selling candy, calendars, dough- nuts, and jewelry. The club raised the money to pay for their trip to Germany, and for other activities that the club was involved in. The trip to Germany was the highlight of the year for the club. Five members and advisor Marja Landschulz spent four weeks in another country. Pam Dralle, '84, said, Going to Germany made it all worthwhile, and was an experience that I will never forget. 11 The Executive Council and advisor Marja Landschulz make plans for their trip to Germany.

XX- 'Qt MODEL U A Better Understanding by Tracy Steffen Model UN is a high school club which studies various countries, their problems, and ways to resolve them. Although there are no specified qualifications for the members, most have an above average grade point. The most important factor, is the students' interest in the United Nations and the problems facing the world today. Senior, Deb Stoppelmoor said, The purpose of the Model UN is to give students a better under- standing of the world's problems, the difficulty in solving them through first hand experience and developing the realization of the importance which these issues hold. Tom Determan, a social studies instructor, advises the club by assisting them in gaining information and helping them to understand the problems and procedures in the actual United Nations. Student officers of the club are Deb Stoppelmoor, president, seniors, Mike Fleege and Gavin Boul- tinghouse, treasurers. Head delegates of the three coun- tries the club has chosen to study are: Deb Stoppel- moor, for Romania, Ion Tucker, for Kuwait, and Chris Stevens, for Belgium. The Starve-a-thon was an activity in school sponsored by the club. Ten percent of the money raised was given to UNICEF. The money remaining from the fund- raiser was used for the club's trip to Cedar Falls where the members par- ticipated in a model session of the United Nations. Hempstead's Model UN club represented the coun- tries Romania, Kuwait, and Belgium. For each country there are special commit- tees that study their country's problems which pertain to their committee. They are disarmament, social, humanitarian and cultural, political and secur- ity, special political, and ECOSOC. After the com- mittees have researched the problems, they discuss the issue at the model session and try to help the problem in the form of a resolution. 79
