Mastering the German language does not have to be all work, as German club members found out this year. Under the direction of Mrs. Helen Nowicki. stu- dents learned that German was fun as well as interesting. The club ' s main purpose is to promote the knowledge of German culture, cus- toms, and literature, and to help students acquire the skill of German conversation. Meetings were held every Tuesday in the school concourse or at Mrs. Nowicki ' s house. At the meetings in the concourse, films sent by the German consulate were shown, or full length movies in German sent by the German Embassy were viewed. Meetings at Mrs. Nowicki ' s house were free of English as members were fined a nickel for English spoken. Students from first to third year Ger- man were encouraged to join the club; third year students tutored those who needed help. Field trips were taken to German communities around Austin and San Antonio. A visit to the German department at the University of Texa? also was taken. Other activities ' , ;vi;i; ended the year were a bake sale and formation of a soccer team called Fussball. Organizations 81

NATIONAL FORENSIC LEAGUE ' Tend Me Your Ears ' ' Paul Gold, John Hopkins, Stan Orman, and Judi Hutchinson have time to goof around while waiting to enroll in the Lamar Speech Tournament in Houston. Competition is the key word in Na- tional Forensic League. Hours of practice, criticism, and anticipation lead to ex- citing tournaments, both locally and in other cities. These events took the group to Kings- ville, Waco, San Antonio and Houston. One of the major local events was the Ray tournament in the fall. NFL also hosted the annual King tournament at the end of February under the super- vision of club sponsor Mrs. Betty Clark and President Judi Hutchinson. Another highlight of the year was the chance for three debate teams, to attend competition at the University of Texas. The members of NFL did more than just bring trophies and honors to King. They were also involved in activities at school, helping wherever needed. Con- tributing to the school as well as con- tributing to the individual ' s speech ability, the NFL completed a productive year. Larry Wells, Suzy Hutchinson, Talmage Boston, and Charles Stone display two first place and one second place trophies won at speech contests in the fall.
