Question: What has 100 feet, speaks three foreign languages, and feeds almost exclusively on French, German and Spanish dishes? Answer: A gathering of language club members for the annual Foreign Languages Banquet. Held on March 16, the two hour celebration united French, German and Spanish club members for an evening of cultural exchange and exhibition. Following the welcoming speeches given by Mrs. Judith Williamson, the head of Kecoughtan ' s Language Department, and Mr. William Steele, the supervisor of the Hampton City Schools ' foreign language program, club members sampled foods native to the three cultures: Paella from Spain; Quiche Lorraine from France; and Wienerschnitzel from Germany. After the feasting, the entertainment began. The French Club started the program with a French sing-a-long. Then the Spanish Club held a variety show which included a performance by the Spanish Club Comedian, alias Dennis O ' Connor. The German Club finished the program with a series of German dances performed with the help of the audience. With the end of the last German dance, the foreigners cleaned up and headed home. All agreed that the evening had been a success and anticipated the next banquet. They ' re not so bad if you bite them before they bite you.
