Mardi Gras Captures French Spirit With 25 new members and one of the largest memberships in 15 years, French Club was able to initiate original activities including Mardi Gras, a celebration before the Lenten Season. Donning a variety of colorful costumes, French Clubbers ate, played games, and won prizes for the originality of their dress. Theresa Barry and Julie Creamer, disguised as nuns, received the awards for best overall costumes. Other French Club ventures were challenging Spanish and German Clubs in volleyball and viewing a French film, La Symphonie pastorale. Although new activities became popular, traditional ideas were also in demand throughout the year. In October, the annual fund-raising Chili Supper was well attended, providing French Club with necessary finances. Later, as part of the Christmas party, French Clubbers caroled at local homes and hospitals. Finally, in the Spring a progressive dinner was held at several Monroe homes. 26

Athletes Enjoy Skiing M-Club's primary concern for the present and future years was to make the club more active and interesting. At 7:30 AM members were often found in conference at school with this particular goal in mind. One of the highlights of the year was a day of cross country skiing in January. This event was thoroughly enjoyed by all and is expected to be repeated in the following years. The group held several money making events. The main one was the Alumni Basketball Tournament which brought many graduates back to MHS to cheer on their former classmates. Members could also be found selling Cheesemaker T-shirts and windbreakers year round. All proceeds went into scholarship funds. CLOCKWISE, LOWER RIGHT: M-CLUB: FIRST ROW: J. Hurlbert, M.
