French Club Parlez-vous franqais?” The French Club does when it meets twice a month to practice speaking French with their sponsor Miss Dorothy Dick. At luncheon meetings the group reads plays and stories in French. When they meet in the evenings, at the homes of various members, they learn to play games in which they can speak French. The main project each year is the Christmas dis- play in the main floor showcase. A Bethlehem scene was featured this year. Sketch Club Sketch Club, which has been reorganized this year, stresses art as a recreation. At the roll call of meetings every member presents his or her art work for the week. The club took an educational trip to visit the art museum in Chicago. They also took numerous field trips visiting the scenic places around LaPorte, such as Pine Lake, Stone Lake, and Fox Park. When the weather is bad, they sketch drawings of landscapes around the high school. The sponsor is Mrs. Bernice Thomas. Page twenty-eight
