German Club Sell, Tour and Dine The three foreign language clubs have been a success. They include the French Club, sponsored by Ruth Nel¬ son and Elizabeth Thompson, the Ger¬ man Club sponsored by Brice Tressler and the Spanish Club sponsored by William Jefferson. The Spanish Club planned a trip to Mexico spring vacation. They sold candy and other items to defray the cost. They ' re also studying foods, clothing and the dialect of the Mexi¬ can people. The German Club enjoyed a very successful year. The club was very active and participated in many activi¬ ties. Among the events the club became involved in was a Muhle Tournament and the State Conventions. They also enjoyed a trip to Milwaukee, Wiscon¬ sin. During the bi-weekly meetings, the French Club members liked learning folk dances of French origin and the art of making crepes (French pan¬ cakes). An excursion to the Art Museum was planned by the club; there the members observed famous paintings. The club is always inter¬ ested in gaining new members who will participate and help the club to grow. The officers wish to extend an open invitation to all those who are interested in French to join the club for the school year beginning this fall. a.

Journalist Achievers Are Honored Those sassafras, blueberry, black cherry or orange candy sticks you may have bought first semester were sold as fund-raising projects by the National Honor Society. The group also collected cans for the Key Club ' s canned food drive. Before each stu¬ dent became a member he or she was rated by teachers in the areas of lead¬ ership, character and service. A high grade poi nt average also had to be maintained. Inductions were held each semester for publications students who had been on staff one year and had done work above and beyond the ordinary. They became members of Quill and Scroll, an honorary society. This year after induction, members attended a Racer game. Some of you saw Jon Buttram, Pat Milligan, JoAnn Shanks and Kevin Strunk participate in WTHR’s “Exer¬ cise in Knowledge program as repre¬ sentatives of our Quiz Team. Bill Street served as alternate. The team was defeated by Howe in the first round of the elimination tournament.

Program Yourself To Learn A Benjamin Franklin kite-flying con¬ test or carnival was planned by the History Club to raise money. After they accumulated the amount needed, their goal was to go on a spring trip. The sponsor is John Allen and the president was Dana Arthur. If you never joined the Computer Math Club because you thought you needed more math, relax. If you were good in General Math, you could learn to do quite a bit with the com¬ puter which is located in the Math Office. Of course, the more math knowledge you possess, the more commands you can learn, the easier it is to operate the computer. Experi¬ enced students used the computer as an aid in doing their homework. Natu¬ rally, an interest in learning to use the computer was a necessity.
