Festival Night Highlights Foreign Language Week February 12-20 was an exciting week for both foreign language teachers and students. Project, declamation, and bulletin board con- tests, a trip to Washington, D.C., and the Festival Night were some of the activities held that week. The cafeteria served typical French, Spanish, and Latin meals, and the menus were written in each ap- propriate language with translations. The Festival Night, to which all the parents of foreign language students were invited, began with an inter- national buffet. A parade of floats made by the students followed next. The night ended with an assembly program. Beautiful floats, such as this Spanish one, take much time and effort. : a0 —— French students do a dance named ‘Cafe, A mock bull fight is presented by a group of Spanish students.
