Under the direction of Mr. Fischer, the German Honor Society participated in a variety of activities. The organization has increased aware- ness of Germany by initiating a music program at meetings and incorporating it into the German class. Discussion groups were held on German econ- omy, politics, and society while history was eX- plored and paralleled with modern times. Documentary films concerning life in Germany were made available for Viewing by the student body through the efforts of the Society. Mem- bership was available to students who maintained a 63,, average in German as well as a creditable over-all scholastic average, and who showed an interest in advancing their knowledge of Germany.
