L’Alliance Francaise, or the French Club, as it is commonly known, is a club designed to pro- mote the French language, peo- ple, and culture. With about 60 members, the club planned many activities to fulfill its pur- pose. The club was able to par- ticipate in several activities and charities with the help of spon- sor Mrs. Anne Driscoll and the many officers. Co-presidents Tommy Leverton and William Chen, vice-president Alanna Jennings, secretary Valerie King, treasurer Kevin Cousins, and historian Magda Drewnow- ski all helped to plan these events. Among the many activities planned by the club were the International Cafe, the Progres- sive Dinner, the candy sales fundraiser, the Annual Christ- mas Party, the French Picnic in the Park in November, and the End of the Year Picnic. The club also planned several charity and community works, paying visits to Johnston Willis Hospital to sing Christmas carols and to give out treats to the children on Val- entine’s Day. The French Club also planned a trip to Washing- ton, D.C. in the spring for the enjoyment of its members. The French Club has made many en- deavors to try and promote the French culture.

As you walked into a Spanish club meeting you might have heard things like {Como te lla- mas tu?, which means what is your name. You might also have heard ;Que tal? which means — how are you. You would have also seen Senora Wright teaching the club members new and interesting things to do. The Spanish club met on Wednesday with an average of 55 per meeting. Eddie Zerkle was president and John Cogbill was vice president. The club had a few committees of five which planned their activities. The Spanish club learned the Cha-Cha with the help of Senora Wright and Senora Yoder. They also learned to make paper flow- ers and had many guest speak- ers who spoke Spanish. In addition to these activities the Spanish Honors Society tu- tored other students who were having difficulty mastering the language. There was a dance planned by the Spanish club for them- selves and some of the other clubs. The Spanish club also went to selected Spanish restau- rants for a taste of their food and an inside look at their culture. Any way you look at it, the Spanish club or the SHS is def- initely worth looking into. SPANISH CLUB 43
