,p ii To all those who have helped make this time at Le Lycee Frangais de Los Angeles an experience of real sharing and growth, this Yearbook is gratefully dedicated. Ce Yearbook est dedie a tous ceux qui nous ont aides a faire de notre projet une realite. OVERLAND FOUNDERS RAYMOND KABBAZ ESTHER KABBAZ MESSAGE DU As we look back over ten years of solid accomplishment at the Lycee Francais de Los Angeles, we must be struck by the vast changes that have occurred. Yet at the same time, the Lycee has remained basically the same . Our 1975 graduates face a world uniquely different from the world that existed in 1965 or even 1970. In this one ten-year span, we have seen wars, civil unrest, economic chaos, a re-alignment of world powers, major economic recessions, the oil crises and other problems. At the same time, there have been major advances on all fronts. And throughout this stormy ten years, the people responsible for guiding this world have changed as well. Where governments in power have been unable to cope with change, they have been replaced by newer — and often younger — statesmen of high caliber. And in a very real way, the Lycee has been changing all this time as well. The changes may not be evident or perceptible at first glance, but they are real. And they are reflected in the quality of the graduates leaving this school. These graduates are far more in tune with the needs of our time, and their application of their Lycee training will stand them in good stead. More and more, it is the younger generation which is being given the call; in the last election a number of governors, senators and congressmen were in their low to mid-3 Os — entrusted to handle the business of the people. Whether your goal is politics or business or the creative arts, the Lycee gra- duate is trained for a leadership role. We will wish our new graduates the best of fortune in the years ahead, as they will carry our hopes for the future with them. We know they will meet the challenge, whatever it may be. We would also like to thank all of our good friends here in Los Angeles for their good wishes and fine assistance over the past ten years. The friends of the Lycee support a great many of our activities — our fund- raising parties, student fairs, bazaars, yearbook advertising and a great many other special projects designed to continually upgrade the quality of a Lycee education. Let us all now look forward to the prospect of the future, and meet those challenges with determination and hope. The growth of the Lycee in ten years has been great; the future looks bright for those who have availed them- selves of the Lycee Experience, Raymond Kabbaz VI.

Each language has its own certain way of rea- soning about problems, Dr. Masters added. Text- books on the same sub- jects come to the same conclusions by different routes. By comparing a science lesson in two languages, the students see that there can be more than one sa- tisfactory solution to a problem— good training for working in the com- puterized sciences of to- day. Interest Changes A political scientist with his doctor ' s degree from the University of Chicago. he has shifted his interest to research in biology and human behavior. Masters, 38, began learning French himself in an Army correspon- dence course. ■ He con- tinued studying it at Chi- cago and on a Fulbrlght grant to France writing a book on French philoso- pher Jean-Jacques Rous ' seau. Now he has returned to Dartmouth after two years as U.S. cultural attache in the Paris Embassy. One of his projects was doubling and seeking to redouble the number of French and American teachers on one- year exchange programs between the two coun- tries. He .believes that work- ing in another country where foreign standards must be accepted in order to get along is a good an- tidote to the main crisis of our time — subjectivism. American kids can. «T g u e about whether ' n ' t ' is or isn ' t good Eng- lish. But if they are worlc- ing in a foreign language they are forced to conform to somebody else ' s stan- dards of grammar. If they can ' t say it in that language, they are cooked. Hazy Distinctions He says the children of our affluent society are brought up with only a hazy distinction between their desires and dreams and objective reality. Masters doesn ' t think drifting with other Ameri- cans in foreign countries in the haze of the interna- tional youth culture helps much. He want? young people to go abroad for a year and work. You can ' t, ask an af- fluent society ' s kids to pretend that they don ' t have money, he says. But you can ask them to do things that are hard, in- tellectually or physically.

Usually, though, she is an amazingly mature little per- son, responding to questions like an adult, only now and then allowing her infectious giggle to creep into the con- versation or making a remark which clearly identifies her as still a child despite her pres- ence Thursday in ■ Paper Moon on ABC, 8:30-9 p.m. Example: Jodie attends the Lyeee Francaise where she has learned to speak French rope, gets along wth other children. It ' s a very lucrative busi- ness. Don ' t forget I have had four children to bring up, to support and educate. The two careers — Buddy ' s and Jodie ' s — have enabled me to spend more time with all the child- ren because I haven ' t had to work in a department store and come home exhausted . I have been able to main- tain the sMTie standard of liv- ing we had when the marriage Uoke up. All of my children were educated in fine schools. And money is put avvay in a trust fund so there ' ll be a nest egg when the kids are M ase. JODIE FOSTER fluently. How does she plan to use if Well, it ' s neat to be able to tell secrets to my friends in a language nobody else under- stands. But do her friends un- WliHt ' s the mother-daughter ivlationihip like? We fight a Jot, Jodie confines, just like friends. UosX of the time slie wants to go to foreign movies and 1 want Walt Disney. She always wins because she ' s got the car. They both laugh. 1 have lots of hobbies, Jo die « s.- I like ilding and swimming and basketball and tennis. I studied karate for two years. Had sbc ever had to use it? Well, once my derstand? No, but they can fake it. Jodie has four ambitions: I want to be President of the United States. I want to go on the stage. I want to go to Rome. And I want to get a hamster. According to Jo- die ' s mother, the hamster am- bition may be the most diffi- cult to attain. What roles would Jodie like to try onstage? Portia in the ' Merchant of Venice. ' She ' s a lawyer and I want to be a law- yer, too, before I get to be president. Julief I hate gooey parts. 1 did a ' Love Sto- ry ' last year. Ugh, kissing! Jodie looks forward to grow- ing up and living on her own — she now lives with her mother, two older sisters and a 17-year-old brother in a house in Califorraa. Her broth- er, Buddy, was one of the reg- ulars on Mayberrj , R.F.D. ltd be neat to have my own apartment — but I don ' t know, how I ' d ever do my taxes. In Paper Moon Jodie plays a gid who may or may not have ftxtwl her tang tost father. They join forces, in any event, and form a con team, resorting to fUm-flam to maintain themselves in the Midwest of the 1930 ' s. The whole series was shot on kica- tion, mostly in Kansas. According to Mrs. Foster, separated from Jodie ' s father soon after she wa bonit when Jodie is on location she works Very h rd — up at 5 a.m. for a 7:30 call, niakeup, wardrobe, interviews, etc. .Three hours per day must be set aside for tutoring, by law. So, it is four working hours, three school hours and one hour for lunch. Mrs. Foster, who once worked as a movie publicist, has been handling the career of both Jodie and her brother Buddy. Jodie recently played the park of Becky Thatcher in the movie Tom Sawyer. I don ' t fed that Jodie had missed anything in her child- hood, her mother said. She does everything — goes to sdiooj, camp, travels to Eu- brother told me to get out of- hi6 room and i tlureatened to give him a chop. ' What does Jodie want that she does not already have? She has to think for a moment. A new room. And a maid. I ' m supposed to clean my own room — but it ' s never clean. Maybe a maid would d it for me. I ' d like a butler, too — hut. maybe not, because I like to q)en the door myself and see who ' s there . . . Boys? Jodie has a crush on Robert Bedford, just like ev: ery other girt.

Avenue facility on September 19. The school serves Westside students in the four primary ffades and is a branch of the Lycee ' s main campus on Overland Avenue in West Los Angeles. ' ' Prime emphasis this year will be put on developing a large kind?rgarten class — at least 1 5 to 18 youngsters— as these children will then progress together through the Lycee system to graduation, explains Raymond Kabbaz, Lycee president. Kabbaz announced that two new programs will be open this fall to area youngsters,, whether or not they ar enrolfed in the Lycee. As the Lycee is both an educational and a cultural in- stitution, we have decided to launch after school programs in French and baflet for children in the Palisades. Both will be conducted on weekday afternoons beginning at 3 : 30 and we expect considerable interest in them. Both will be taught by Lycee personnel. A youngster may sign up for the French program, the ballet program, or both, on an alter- nating day schedule. Gists will be minimal — just recognized ly 3 in the world, enough to cover our rapenses in the Los Ang psiachod folkj s a providing the instructor and stricjt OTSPQ ' pW | liPMf facility in each case — as we see train st l|lejiis iti ' iffc ss , this as a logical extension of the Europeair ' i tradition. iWe ' ifre Lycee function within the community, Kabbaz said. ' i He also noted that if demand is sufficient, an early evening course in French, at beginning, intermediate and advanced levels, might be developed for Pacific Palisades adults later in the year. We are still making ad- justments in our class and program structure in the Palisades, Kabbaz said, in response to the demand of the community. The Lycee concept is a very ancient and very tested one, and aS ; we becoftie established within the com- munity, we expect more and npre local students to participate in the various programs.

I have asked myself repeatedly over the years what it was that has set my country apart from all others . My answer is always that it is our Constitution - a document created by mortals - but unques- tionably also inspired. With its very first words this wonderful document tells all - ' We the people ' not We the Government, ' not ' We the ruling class, ' not even ' We the strongest ' - but ' We the people. ' These words make knovym to all that here is a country dedicated to the preservation of the individuality of its citizens , not to the creation of a paternal, all-encompassing Government, not to the submersion of the citizen to the State - but of the State to its people . We have m our Constituuon a bill of rights which is a guarantee that ' We the People ' will always be our own masters - that we will live in the type of country we choose and that ' .ve ' . ' . ill be governed by ai Novembers, 1899 Februar%- 12, 1975 36 A L ' INTENTION DE MES ELEVES I would like to dedicate this yearbook 19 75 to General Leroy Hugh Watson, a great soldier, a loyal friend of France, of the Lycee Francais de Los Angeles and a very dear personal friend. Since the beginning of the Lycee, General Watson has faithfully assisted his lovely wife Bea in organizing the D.A.R. American history essay contest. General and Mrs, Watson were familiar personalities at each of our Lycee graduation exercises held in the finest of French tradition. Each year, they gave generously prizes and awards, books and medals, always infusing their great love for their country to International and French children, already convinced lovers of America , At our last graduation, General Leroy Hugh Watson was awarded by the Lycee Francais the school ' s first Annual Distinguished Service Award . We all know that General Watson attended the U. S. Military Academy at Westpoint and was in the same graduating class as General Dwight Eisenhower and General Omar Bradley. Trying to list all the decorations awarded to General Leroy Watson would probably take more pages than this yearbook has . But let us remember the very important role General Watson played for the Liberation of France and let us be grateful to him for his magnificent leadership and to all the young American men who have given their lives to save ours . Although General Watson never mentioned it, he was awarded by General de Gaulle in Paris on January 30, 1945 la Croix de Guerre avec Palmes. Also through a special presidential act signed by General de Gaulle, General Watson was awarded la Legion d ' Honneur - grade de Chevalier on July 20, 1944, for exceptional services of war rendered during the operations of the liberation of France, to the Provisional Government of the Republic of France . More than a great patriot and a great soldier. General Watson was a good-hearted and warm human being. I will remember him always during his last visit to the Lycee. We were both taking a walk through the Lycee garden; the air was fresh and filled with the scent of orange blossoms. I guess my spirits were not so high that morning and the General sensed it at once . He stopped walking and looking at me with his sparkling eyes and a large smile, he said: Esther, I like you - you know, you are a real little soldier! He took a deep breath and with a tone of satisfaction, continued: There is law and order here. Keep up the good work! These were the last words I was to hear from General Watson. As long as we will remember him with love and respect, the General will always be among us at the Lycee Francais de Los Angeles . Being called a soldier by a soldier, I thought to myself , half jokingly and quite flattered, that was a compliment. Today, I know it ' s a commitment. I ' 11 try to keep up the good work, General.

GYMNASTIQUE SPORTIVE LA ROUE f - I iCJd ' £i lybiP ' r y l ' A BONANZA FOR ALL THEATER LOVERS DRAMA AT THE LYCEE FRANCAIS DE LOS ANGELES For a long time Drama has been encouraged and promoted at the Lycee, not just because of the store of talented children who attend the school, but for a mode of expression not often facilitated in the classroom environment. In the past three years, Ms. Barbara Baehr, English instructor, has supervised the school ' s very successful after-school Drama Club which openly invites interested (and energetic) students to attend and join in various dramatic activities and games. Ms. Baehr employs unique methods and is often overwhelmed with the results. She attempts to bring about free expression from the students and help create the atmosphere so they can discover themselves as people. The intent of the club is not to create actors and actresses. Ms. Baehr has discovered that the use of sensitivity awareness, play therapy, role-playing and acting out feelings can bring about the best kind of performance in Creative Dramatics. She also uses conventional drama tools such as panto- mime and improvisation. The children wholeheartedly reply that when you join the drama club you have fun while learning. Each year at the school a play is performed by the students, in English, or in French. The attendance and support of the parents at this time further encourages the study and activity of Drama at the Lycee. Drama in the Classroom Appreciating the student ' s need for self expression, several Lycee instructors have employed dramatics in the classroom. Often creative dramatics can better represent a theme to the students than a lecture or discussion. Drama- tizations of historical events, how two and two equals four and even the often- complicated grammar of a language can be illustrated by having class dramatic participation. Students at the Lycee have often shared plays and skits with other classes within the school, as well as at other schools. This fascinates and entertains those participating, as well as those observing. An Experimental Drama Class - 10th Grade-B 1974-75 Ms. Baehr experimented with the idea of teaching theatre drama as an elective course. This elective was approved by the Administration and offered to the 2-B. Choices of activities and studies were suggested, and the students opted for a similar program as that used for the Drama Club. 123 Reactions have varied - some are apathetic, others are enthusiastic. The course was originally non-graded, and attendance wasn ' t required. It was soon discovered that most students desired stricter structure, and the course became graded. Ms. Baehr commented that the experimental class taught her invalu- able information about teaching dramatics to tenth graders , and discovered the need that students have to express their emotions behind the guise of a character. The long-term effects of this experiment won ' t be known until June . Anyway, Drama has always been a regular on the list of courses offered to high school students at the Lycee Francais.

The Los Angeles International Film Exposition celebrates the art form of the century in a non-competitive, 14-day, annual event staged in the center of American film production. Representing the entire cinematic spectrum — old and new, feature-length and short, underground and major studio, spectacle and student work, animation and live- action — the Exposition offers motion pictures not usually available to Southern California audiences. The concurrent screenings of these diverse films can enhance the value of each work; so, too, the mingling of otherwise distinct audience groups — students, film buffs, filmmakers, scholars, historians and the general film-going public — may help their understanding of the film medium, and of each other. Most major international film festivals are commercially oriented, designed for buying and selling films or for arranging production deals. Filmex is not a festival in this sense (although a great effort is made to assist the films ' producers in finding U.S. distribution). Rather it is a concentrated showcase of world films, screening no definite number from each nation, but a representative selection indicating current and prevalent attitudes, activities and interests. The Program Selection Committee does not seek the works of star ' filmmakers as a first priority. Instead it attempts to search out and present films which are cinematically unique, which document extraordinary events in a creative manner, or which require assistance in gaining public attention. In short, Filmex offers a rare opportunity for those who want something different from the attractions at local theatres. We are striving to expand the film tastes of Los Angeles and to inspire new creative energy in our own film community. 11 I Filmex Director 157 A Tribute to Max Under (Pop Goes the Cork) 3:00 p.m. Special premiere, 24c France. 1974. 90 minutes. Producer: Maud Linder Director: Max Linder Screenwriter: Maud Linder Music: Gerard Calvi Source: French Cultural Services. 972 Fifth Ave., New York, NY 10021 Be My Wife Seven Years of Bad Luek The Three Miist-Get-Theres 9 Perhaps the greatest of the forgotten com- ics of the silent screen is French-born Ma. Linder, to whom Chaphn early acknow- ledged his indebtedness. Later comedians, such as Charlie Chase and (especially) the silk-hatted Raymond Griffith, were also in his debt, for Linder created a nimble, would-be debonair bourgeois who always seemed to fall into trouble. After making more than 200 shorts in his native France, he came to Hollywood in 1917 to continue his career, and it is from these later films that his daughter created this affectionate tribute to Max. The first half of the program more or less integrates 2 of his shorts into an on-going narrative since all had the same leading lady, while the second half is a somewhat abbreviated version of The Three Mtist-Get-Theres (1922), a genial parody of Fairbanks ' The Three Musketeers, released the previous year For dash, verve and sheer comic inventiveness, the rediscovery of Max Linder is long overdue. He died a suicide in Paris in 192.5. — Arthur Knight En souvenir du passage Los Angeles de nos cheres amies YANNICK BELLON et MAUD LINDER La Femme de Jean (Jean ' s Wife) 7:00 p.m. 23c France. 1974.

New York, NY Winner, Cronrf Prix du Cinema Frant;ais Writer-director Yannick Bellon, whose career has included years of work as a highly successful television director, film editor, and short-filmmaker, has, with La Femme de Jean, created an evocative and compelling film which should assure an ever-widening audience for her work. Its subject is the per- sonal liberation regeneration of the spirit of one woman who slowly and painfiiUy emerges from the devastation of a broken marriage — a marriage which has defined and sustained her — and embarks on an inner journey, increasingly joyous, toward a re- discovery of self Prime catalysts in the birth of a delicate and hard-won self-confidence are her teenage son, wise beyond his years, who lovingly but firmly refuses to act as a crutch to her fears; a lover, who embodies for her the satisfactions of independence and self-reliance; and the lure of a once- abandoned career The sights and sounds of Paris and its environs are a muted, effective background for the film ' s moods and action. — Jane Alsobrook • Shorts: Sea Creatures, Robin Lehman (Great Britain, 1974), 12 minutes.

The mystique, the passion for excellence that has been Maserati for 60 years, finds its latest expression — Khamsin. Conceived from the hot, violent wind of the Sahara, designed by Bertone, and master- fully created by Maserati, Khamsin is the absolute harmony of refined beau ty and power. Khamsin. Continuing the technical superior- ity of Maserati automobiles, the hand-built Maserati quad-cammed V8 engine pro- vides smooth, effortless, unlimited power. The engine is located far back in the chas- sis to provide better handling and allow for controlled-crush compartments front and rear for maximum passenger protection. The suspension is all-independent and the entire rear assembly is mounted on a sub- frame eliminating road noise and vibration from the supremely comfortable passenger compartment. The power steering has tx)th a servo assist and a servo return through which the wheels return to a straight-ahead position even when the car is at rest. The amount of power applied to the steering varies with the road speed. The result is the safest and most precise handling available anywhere. The brakes are four-wheel discs of enor- mous size, and feature a special hydraulic pressure system providing a fail-safe pedal and fast, controllable power braking. All of these features add up to the beauty and the power that is Khamsin. The new wind from Maserati to carry you farther, faster, and safer than ever before.
