That ' s how Faron Evans, secretary, and other club members characterized Thursday night meetings at Frau Helen Nowicki ' s house. Under the official name of King High School Stalag 57 German Club, the active membership for the 1970-1971 school year doubled in comparison to the previous year. With the help of Frau Nowicki, Chancellor Danny Dauenhauer and Vice Chancellorin Susan Davidson, Stalag .57 promoted a detailed understanding of the customs and language of Germany and also provided a setting for discussions concerning Germany history and politics. Entertainment included the showing of Defense of the Homeland, a movie made by some of last year ' s students who depicted a handfid of Germans defending Padre Island from Allied Nuclear Attack. The filming ol more movies by Cele-Scrip Production. . Limited (a student effort) was planned. The Stalag 57 soccer team led by Captain Joe Celeski and Coach Steve Utley, practiced two days a week to enable them to defeat the NFL-Spanish Club Soccer Team, 3-0, in a late October game. Two successful bakesales and the collec- tion of membership dues enriched the trea.s- ury enough to financially aid the soccer team, according to Jerry Britsch, treasurer. Tad Scripter, who had lived in Germa- ny, filled the new role of executive director. Coach Steve Utley, who was injured in a socce practice, gives advice to Chuck Johnson about tlirow-in technique. 48 Organizations
