Deciding to change approach For several years, Spanish Club at Minnehaha has been virtually nonexistent. This year, however, after tin-collapse of the International Club, Spanish students decided it was time for a new approach. Seniors Tammy Cross and Kristi Gyllenblad served together as president with senior Traci Gordon as secretary and sophomore Eric Knobel as treasurer. Activities included a taco initiation dinner and a North Stars game against the Pittsburgh Penguins on November 26. President Tammy Cross is optimistic about an active Spanish (dub in years to come. f rom Row) Amu- Gamble, Officer Tammy Cross, Rodney Nelson, Officer Erie Knoble Row 2) Advisor Mrs. Debbie ilillar.

A New Twist The German Club’s annual initiation had a new twist to it this year. Not only did the 'initiates have to count and recite dialogues in German, they were auctioned off as slaves by free hour. The initiates had to do such things as singing to a full Campus Hoorn and yodel. A movie night with Psyco and Kiss of the Vampire was also sponsored by the German Club for both members and non-members. A bratwurst dinner. Bavarian costumes and folk-gaming were all part of the German Oktoberfest, which was held in the gym and campus room. The students who attended enjoyed traditional German food, dress and dancing. Saint Nikolaus visited and brought candy to the German class on December 6. Later after school the German students interested sang German Christmas Carols and exchanged presents and ate refreshments. On German Day the students dressed in their Bavarian Costumes, went to the Chanhassen Dinner Theatre for lunch and to watch skits performed by younger students.

On this day. the French class made a variety of crepes that were purchased for a nominal fee. In January the class celebrated Fete des 3 Rois, which means Feast of the Kings . Croissants were given to all the students. A white bean was hidden in one of the croissants and the person who found the bean was made King or Queen of the class.
