ggciting year for French When someone comes to your door asking for an egg, and later on someone else rings your doorbell trying to sell an egg, something has got to be wrong! The French Club, Le Cercle Francais, sponsored by Ms. Toni Seegar, endured plenty of fun- ny looks when they attempted this endeavor. One lady swore that someone was playing a joke on her, exclaimed President Melissa Seewald. People looked at us as if we were crazy! lt was very cold outside and we were really embarrassed when we would knock on a door and it was someone we knew from school, recalled Vice-President Robin Bowen. Remembering the bake sales held at Randalls, Robin said, When people start talking to you in French, and you're not prepared to answer back, you feel real dumb. The French Club took advantage of their profits and went to see a mime troupe featuring Claude Caux and players from the Llniversity of Houston. Finally, their banquet was held at Ma Maison. Kris Mayfield, commented, The French Club is one of the most interesting clubs at J.V. lt's a great way to get involved in cultural activities, added Edie Chen. e learn about people t'The Psychology Club teaches a lot about people, commented Stephanie Cogbill.

Psychology also got together for some good times. We all had an enjoyable time at the Christmas party held at Dianna Hazlewood's, recalled Ms. Walker. There were fun games and lots of eats. The Psychology Club has taught me how to deal with people and their pro- blems, mentioned David Tadrzak. - Clubs VCheryl Golbertg Ron Hammonsg Soma Norodomg Teresa Maywaldg Sandra Orta Stacy Sulikg Pradeep Ramimirthamg Karen Chang, Kris Mayfieldg Caroline Chang Edie Cheng Kim Mayfield, Public Relations, Lemia Al-Salaman, Secretary-Treasurer Melissa Seewald, President, Robin Bowen, Vice.-President.

i YPresident Tony Garcia explains the upcoming activities during a Spanish Club meeting in Ms. Boyd's room. onquistadors' quest for culture The cool, dim surroundings of Las Alamedas made it pleasant to MAS look through the large windows at the leaves blowing off the lighted trees. Los Conquistadors gathered around the long table and dipped their warm tortilla chips into the picante sauce as they awaited the advent of their president, Tony Garcia. Ms. Emily Boyd, the Spanish Club sponsor, asked the waiters to correspond with the diners only in Spanish, making it especially challenging for Spanish I students, guests, and former Spanish students to request for water as the picante burned their tongues. After dinner, while certificates were be- ing awarded to the officers, Tony and his twin brother, Alfredo Gar- cia, walked into the room explaining how they got lost. Alfredo won the President Look-Alike Contest and some other unique awards were presented before Tony said some final words about the club's year. One of the club's first activities was a Christmas party at Andrea PenaIoza's house. Everyone participated in making the party a success, We broke a pinata and lots to eat, recalled Pattrina Pastran. Several members and Ms. Boyd travelled to San Antonio to attend a convention of the Pan American Student Forum of Texas. Dif- ferent organizations held seminars exhibiting the various cultures of Pan American countries. We donated money to different organizations. Like, some kids in other countries need braces, explained Pattrina. They also walked around to nearby sights and absorbed the history of San Antonio. 4Top to bottom, left to right: Vice-President, Phyllis Chang, Historian, Pattrina Pastran, Historian, Andrea Penaloza, Secretary, Theresa Mendoza, Chairperson of Communications, Sharon Leeg President, Tony Garciag Treasurer, Scott Shaunfield.
