Making a point - Iuniors Mike Cole and Phil Woods present their nine weeks project to the German class. Student study German culture Why take German? According to the teacher, Mr. Ioseph S. Ward, there were several reasons, and he used them as guidelines for teaching the course. My main goal is to teach students enough German so that they can get around in Germany if they go there, he said. If they go there, they need to know how to act in every day situations such as ordering a meal in a restaurant, or buying a train ticket, he said. Mr. Ward also said that he expect- ed German students to know the geography of Germany and be aware of the cultural differences between Ger- mans and Americans. The German students attended many festivals to gain more knowledge of the German culture. They participat- ed in the Oktoberfest in Hot Springs, the Faschings fest in Little Rock, and the UALR Foreign Language Festival. Students who were interested, formed a German club, which provid- ed parties and dinners for after school entertainment.

Spanish Club open to all students For a small sum of 32.00, any student, Spanish-speaking or not, could participate in the activities held by Spanish club. Mrs. Ian Rapier, sponsor of the club, said that the Spanish club was one of the largest at Northeast. The club sponsored many activities throughout the year. The Spanish club held pot-luck and progressive dinners, went to Casa Bonita, presented masses, held fiestas, went skating, and attended language festivals, she said. At language festivals, students participated in different categories of competition. Any Spanish student could compete in declamation, skits, talent, and essays. Other activities included sponsor- ing a language fair at Northeast, and taking Christmas gifts to the St. Francis House, a relief agency.
