Sue Anderson Festivals Celebrated Spirits of German Speaking People Octoberfest was the theme of Killian's German Club's party, which showed learning about German culture through imitation could be entertaining, as well as informative. Ger- man food was served, and German speakers lectured at both the Octoberfest and the club's winter celebration Faschingball. Club members gained first-hand knowledge of present day Germany in letters they wrote to high school students in Hanover Realschule, Germany. That correspondence proved a large asset as German Club students prepared for the Florida Association for Students of Ger- man Convention in St. Petersburg in the spring. Killian representatives vied with other Florida teenagers in speech making, reading, and tests on their knowledge of German speaking peoples, and their cultures. Miss Schor took to the ice, and lead Bob Berlin, Susan Anderson, and Alice Weiss to the frozen polar grounds. 67

PARA-MED Was There a Doctor Available? If Not, Para-Med Prepared One Was there a doctor in the house? Aspiring doctors and nurses prepared to answer the call as members of Killian's Para-Medical club. Students interested in the medical and science professions and having a good scholarship average were eligible for club membership. Para-Med prepared members for going into these fields. Dr. M. L. Jaffee in a speech informed the club on his field, pathology, which deals with the study of diseases. Psychology, or the study of the science concerning the mind and mental processes, was the topic of the talk Mr. Ken McCullough gave. Para-Med made a field trip to Jackson Memorial Hospital and the University of Miami's Institute of Marine Sciences on Key Biscayne. Each trip was designed to cater to different individual interests. The club also gave a Chrismas party for the migrant worker's children studying at the UM. -f,,, c N X X ff 4 L O ' .J H1713 J Hari' 524 f' 1 Q4 f -7' , fe it eisflCSQ'g -1-f-aff 12+,c 'f 11l Riffs-1' J -QQ ,Nfl ...K ' i. tt Q With the skill and grace of experienced mixatoligists, Debbie Parsons and Hal Thomas prepared punch at the Christmas party for migrant children.
