Both the Spanish and German clubs en- joyed another successful year in 1983- 84. The German club, guided by President Adam Nan, Vice President Samantha Wil- helm, Treasurer Dan Anderson, Secretary Laura Leesburg, and Historian Robin Shaw, participated in a wide variety of activities. The club held a picnic at Rock- wood Park in the fall, giving the members a chance to sample German wurst. The club joined with the other languages in a cultural exchange at Christmas and the annual volleyball tournament in the fall, -which the German club won. Also, during ‘the Christmas season, members visited a local nursing home to sing carols and bring the Christmas spirit to the people staying there. In February, the club helda dinner at which more sophisticated dishes were served. A more ambitious undertaking was the student exchange involving eleven Mona- can students and eleven students from Cologne, Germany. The visitors from Co- logne stayed with Monacan families and attended school here throughout the month of April. In June, the Monacan stu- dents returned the visit, as they stayed in Cologne for three weeks. The trip pro- vided a unique insight into German life and Culture. The Spanish Club was led by Janet Woodlief, President; Janet Matsey, Vice- President; and Elizabeth Cassella, Trea- Rewards ception, Ms. Thompson mingles students. Success from Cologne to Rockwood surer. The sponsors were Mrs. Thompson and Mrs. Catina, whose help was greatly needed and appreciated. The club’s ac- tivities ranged from a float entry in the homecoming parade to a trip to Washing- ton, D.C. in the spring. “Carpe Diem” or ‘‘seize the day’”’ could be the motto of the Latin Club for its 76 members are always taking advantage of each day’s opportunities.
