Wx FRENCH HONOR SOCIETY The engine of our ship slowly comes to a halt . . . from our porthole we see a quaint fishing wharf, and signs written in a strange beautiful language. Shouts of - SoyeZ le bien venu en France -reach our car. Welcome to France!! ln our high school France is represented through its French courses, and especially through the French Honor Society, which brings to its members a knowledge of French Culture. At annual teas, held at the beginning and the end of the year, le Societe Honoraire becomes acquainted with im- portant diplomats and famous educators who enrich our French education. Last year the organization gained state- wide recognition by fostering an essay contest on the subject The Importance of a Foreign Languagen. It was a huge success with entries coming in from the entire state. All these events have been made possible by the combined work of our faculty advisor Dr. Alda Pizzinger and those students who have maintained a 907, average for one year of French. This year under our officers Linda Costigan Qpresidentj, Barbara Zenkel twice-presidcntj, Lillian Laufgraben Qsec- rctzzryj, and Tamara Hutzler Qtreasurerj, we have had our traditional teas and many other exciting events. The ship's whistle blows, and we know that it is time to re-board our ship and continue our journey through high school. . . All ashore whols going ashore!

spain Many people are unable to travel to other countries. Through our Spanish classes and the Spanish Honor Society we are given the oppor- tunity to travel to many Spanish speaking countries without leaving the classroom. On our trip we are brought closer to the Spanish people by learning their customs, languages, and many of their beliefs and ideas. We go through an imaginary journey through their countryside, towns, and cities, and see many of their beautiful landmarks. As We start on our trip, we find ourselves in a small and quaint town. We see hgures slumped over in the streets and we then realize that this is the time of day the people of Spain take their noon- day Siesta and all business activity ceases for a few hours. We tiptoe through the streets so we won't disturb anybody. As we continue on our journey, we are fas- cinated by the beautiful Architecture of the Ca- thedrals of Servilla and Burgos and the Alhambre in Granada. All of a sudden a large crowd of people rush past us. We can hear in the distance cries of cheering. As we follow the crowd we End ourselves in a bull ring in Madrid. After the ex- citement of the bull fight, we stop for a while at a Spanish Inn to eat tomales, tortillas, and chile con carne. As our trip comes to its end, we can look back and see how travelling to Spain through the Span- ish Department has helped us in our learning and understanding of the Spanish people.
