Le Cerele Francais Est Bon Le cercle francais commonly called the French Club, is one of the two foreign language clubs at M.H.S. The administration of the club's activities is Carried out by Mrs. Davis, Mrs. Green, and the executive board which is elected from each of the eight French classes. The first project of the French Club was to plan and organize the annual Christmas party held after school. The party was a combination of sweet French desserts, a skit per- formed by the fourth-year class, and a special visit made by Pere Noel, who left gifts or sticks in everyone's shoes. Mardi Gras, although having its problems in New Orleans, was a fan- tastic success for French students, their guests and teachers. A veritable feast of foods was served, with the entertainment consisting of skits from television shows and commer- cials. A select panel of judges chose Sesame Street performed by third hour as the winner, and The Adams Family as second done by lst hour. 1. Costumes for Mardi Gras were very colorful and funny. Libby Mitze, Tami Kallembach, Lori Swikle, Laura Edbrook, and Janet Scri- mager are all dressed up for their skits. 2. The decorations for Mardi Gras were one of the many attractions. Annette Magsamen clowns around in front of the Eiffel Tower. 3. Prepare ing the French cuisine for Mardi Cras takes much time. Michelle Guido helps set the food on the table. 4.

Latin Club Feasts The Latin Banquet held this spring was a success. The recipes that had been used by the Romans were used, and they produced delicious food. Each class produced a skit in Latin, which proved to be hilarious. The highlight of the banquet was the slaves. This year's Latin Banquet broke the tradition of only first year students being slavesg four upper- classmen were sold as experienced L DJ E sv -3 3' FD 2 DJ C fb fl! s FD 1 FD 5. 5.

Barry Elson and Mike King exemplify the ancient games. 2. Even though enjoying pleasant conversation and a delecta- ble style cuisine, these citizens were not known for their table manners. The third year Latin students, Amy Walker, Shelley Davis, Chip Riegel. and Susan Taylor display huge Roman appetities. 3. Although quite sane, Roman masters often require their slaves to perform unusual tasks. Sally Tompkins and Lisa Storey follow every whim of their masters. 4.

Latin provides an opportunity to form close friendships with one's classmates, as its enrollment is low enough to allow only one class for each year of Latin. By the time Fourth Year Latin arrives, close bonds have been formed. I. ,AY if . 5 Z- 9
