lii foreign languages Each year the American Association of Teachers of French (AATF) sponsors a National French Contest This Grand Con- cours includes over 50,000 students nationally, with its numbers growing each year. Northville Junior Luke Kakogeorgiou, won second place in Michigan and fifth in the National Level lA of the Grand Concours. Students disco through Europe Back from their harrowing but exciting fifteen day tour of Western Europe, the teachers of Northville High School foreign languages settled down to business as usual, instruct- ing Spanish, French and German. The events of the past sum- mer remain clear. The six adult and forty plus student group toured such cultural landmarks as the Louvre in Paris, Westminster Abbey of London and the Prado in Spain. In addi- tion to such world renowned places, the students managed to take in some of the more social hot spots of the countries. Plazas, beaches, discos and record stores were just a few of the popular stops. The experiences of the students and teachers in Europe will surely add to their interests in foreign languages. We continue to look forward to future trips and hope that all will prove to be as enriching as those in the past. Special thanks to Emily Serafa-Manschot for a wonderful job of organization Herr Hogan uses a Show and Tell approach to teaching German. Youknowwhatimean, Vern?

=j - ' tt cat education New facility boosts spirits Although students taking gym first semester had to tolerate the old Cooke gym, spirit re- mained high in anticipation of the new gym at the high school. The addition of this gym has put a total of two gyms and a pool at the students ' disposal, expanding the number of physical education classes available. Not sur- prisingly, two new courses have been made available to students: Swim and Gym and Out- door Education. Both classes proved to be a great success. New equipment has been purchased and sup- plied to the new fitness center which is open for community use. Also, a new gym floor was in- stalled in the school ' s original gym. Gym lockers have not been popular because of the variance in color and shape, but students will see a definite improvement next fall after all the lockers have been painted and the renovation is complete.
