Every year the German Club takes on projects for their mem- bers. This year they opened up with the Homecoming float. Oth- er activities that were scheduled were the Oktoberfest, St. Niko- laus party, caroling at the nurs- ing home, International Cafe, spring picnic, and trip to Penn- sylvania. Members of the Ger- man Club had the honor of par- ticipating in these events. The officers of the 1988-89 German Club were: co- presidents Matt Carra and Nicki Rhode, co-vice-presidents Bartek Drewnowski and Stacy Young, secretary LeAnn Scott and Jeanna Saggese, treasurer Chris Parker and historian Mar- gret Sullivan. These officers worked with Frau Cashwell to provide an exciting year, and helped keep the German Club going smoothly. Their time and hard work were shown through the activities scheduled through out this year. The German Club also had three native German students in the club. Students taking Ger- man were able to learn from these three students. Mathias Bottcher, Wolfgang Eichele, Ma- rie Milz attended classes and participated in club activities. Not only did the club mem- bers have the privilege of par- ticipating in the activities spon- sored by their club, but also they had enjoyed the friendships that each of them developed over the school year.

JAPANESE CLUB The Japanese Club was an- other new edition this year, ad- ding itself to the numerous or- ganizations at Monacan. Its purpose was to encourage and promote Japanese culture, lan- guage, and people. The club ac- cepted students as members even if they did not take the language. The only require- ments were an interest in the Japanese culture and dues of course. The club engaged in such ac- tivities as the International Cafe, Japanese dinners at students’ houses and field trips. Mrs. Oomori, the Japanese teacher and the club’s sponsor, helped to plan such activities. For its first year, Japanese Club proved popular with many students join- ing. Translation please!
