Combining language and culture The scene was one of merriment as forty Latin Club members, dressed in togas, attended the Roman wedding ceremonies held at the house of Nancy Roslow, who was the bride. Dressed in white with the traditional flame-colored veil and hair done in six braids, the bride was united in marriage with her groom by the priests while t eir parents and ten witnesses si ned the marriage contract. The wedding procession walked through Venetian Isle streets carrying their torches and accompany- ing the bride to her new home where the groom carried her over the threshold. A Roman banquet was then enjoyed by all: it ended with a quickie divorce! The Latin Club joined in the district and state Latin Forums where they took part in different academic contests like mythology, customs, grammar, vocabulary, and athletics. Latin Club kept its members busy but entertained. Candy sales, a Halloween party, a Columbian dinner, and the summer im- mersion program topped off the plans of the Spanish Club. In the culture-soaked atmosphere of Ybor City, club members socialized and experienced Hispanic cuisine and entertainment together at one of the finer restaurants. The one-week summer immersion program gave an experience to remember as an entire week was spent at Eckerd College in St. Petersburgg finding the students allowed to spea only Spanish. They learned traditional Mexican folk songs, dances, and attend- ed classes for intense study. They also put on plays and held an auction.

More than book learning What better place could you go to en- joy a celebration of the harvest than the German Club's Octoberfest? Keeping with German tradition, the celebration included singing, dancing, and eating, plus the added attraction of a costume- judging-lcontest. I t at weren't exciting enough, December brought a Christmas party which included German decorations and activities in addition to a gift ex- change and the traditional advent wreath and calendar. Special trips were enjo ed by the club membersg they went to the Folk Fair at the Bayfront Center and took a trip to the new Epcot Center outside Orlando where they could practice a little of their new vocabulary. German Club wasn't all fun, it was work, too. The state convention was a chance for German students to gather for com etition and to see how much they hadp learned. The French people respect other peoples' independence and demand res ect for their own. They believe in indlfvidualistic thinking. Their cooking is regarded as an art, and they are world famous for their sauces, salads, and soups. Besides being a country of arts an crafts, the world looks to Paris fashion shows each year for the newest styles in both men's and women's clothes. These were a few subjects learned b French Club members as they expllored their newly learned lan uage and its culture. Tie French Con ress, an organization made up of high sciiools in Florida, was run entirely by students of the French language. Its main goal was to foster in- terest in the French language and culture. Fifteen students from Northeast participated in the various categories to use their new language and to enjoy themselves.
