French offers various activities French, Why should I take French? What do they do that could possibly interest me? You'd be surprsied. There are four levels offered, and just think what it would be like to go to France and actually communicate with them? French IV students, senior Keunho Rhee, who started French at Lakewood junior High as a ninth grader, and junior Cheryl Glamm, who moved here from the French speaking country, Zaire, studied at the top level. Along with French III students they did everything from writing their own original children's story in French, to studying the text. French Club provided special projects where members dined at Iacque and Suzanne's for a Christ- mas party, brought food for the Thanksgiving Assembly and designed a float for the Homecom- ing. According to Miss jean Ander- son, French teacher, the French language was mind-expanding. She also said that the students had con- tact with French culture. I'd try to keep them aware of French television programs, she said. We also participated in Language Culture Day at the Arkan- sas Art Center. French students participated in Language at UALR in October. French III won first place with a skit they did. French II also took a skit and came back with runner-up. Now do you see why you should take French? A I sure do. I think I'll go talk to my counselor about next year.
