French Club Mr. Sowell shows his good sportsmanship at a club meeting. This year, the French Club spent most of their time exposing its members to the French culture about which they had studied. Speakers were heard, and many exhibits were shown. A fashion show was held, and the club members sold candy to raise money for a scholarship to be given by the club, and to help pay the expenses of a planned trip to Europe. This trip, with both French and German Club members going, took place over the Easter vacation. Ending the year, a club picnic was held at the JCJ Charolais Ranch. Two of the sights the touring students saw were the swimming pool and the Olympic spire at the Olympic stadium in Munich. Mary Wilburn, Ann Knight, and two students they met pose before the Bavarian Alps during their trip.

Brett Smith takes a swing at the pinata during the Christmas festivities. This is one of the tropical scenes observed by Spanish students in Puerto Rico last June. After having eaten Bons Bons, Ginny McCabe finds out who they were meant for. iHola amigos de espanol! The members of Jefferson Forest's first Spanish Club have fared well this year, as they have participated in such activities as ice skating get togethers, pool parties, and a great Easter Egg hunt. Although many left these scenes with a few bruises on their posteriors, noses full of water, and no Easter eggs at all, it can be truly said that they enjoyed themselves immensely. But, all was not fun and games, for the Spanish Club presented the Las Pasadas , con¬ sisting of a religious ceremony followed by games and festivities to the Jefferson-Forest Elementary pupils and the truly special stu¬ dents at Evington Exceptional School. And to top this all off, the club members, tired of eating day-old doughnuts and canned tamales, proposed the ideas of a Spanish Ban¬ quet to the sponsor, Senora Owen, which was carried through and held at the Americana in Lynchburg. Looking back, it was a fantastic year. iAdios amigos!

German Club Touched by the gift given her, Mary Jane Hughes wipes her eyes. Below, the touring students pause to look at a medieval castle in Salzburg, Austria. A handicap to be faced by this year's Ger¬ man Club members was that their club meetings were not held on the regular club day, but instead took place every other Friday during their regular class period. Only one German class was taught this year, but next year will show an increase, with the club's membership also increasing. Among the activities participated in by the club were trips to neighboring industries, partic¬ ularly Meredith-Burda, as it is of German ori¬ gin. The highlight of the year came when two of the members took a trip to Europe and were given a party prior to their departure.
