Distributive Education Clubs of American (D.E.C.A.) had another busy year. They did everything from having fund raisers, to attending workshops and conferences, to co-spon- soring a dance with the Student Council. Some of the items used to raise funds this year were black and gold Spirit Hands and cheese and sau- sage. This year marked the fifth annual Powderpuff football game between D.E.C.A. members and Northwest cheer- leaders and Vikettes. The D.E.C.A. Demons lost the battle to the Spirit Raisers with a score of 8-6. Members also attended conferences in Chicago, Kear- ney, and Seward so that they might advance their knowledge of marketing. At the State Conference in Lincoln, Gary Meyer received a first place in Service Station Marketing, and Tracey Schmitz received a third place in Apparel and Accessor- ies. Ranita Valasek was elected District V Vice President.

Language Clubs Explore Foreign Worlds The German Club began planning for a trip to Germany last September. In order to raise money for expenses they held a car wash in the spring and washed dishes after a Christmas dinner at a local church. It is through the American Institute for Foreign Study that students visit foreign countries. Eighteen people made the trip to Germany from the Northwest area. Mrs. Wilma Stevens, German Club sponsor, and her daughter also toured the Ger- man countryside. The group departed on June 28 for Frankfurt, Germany. Their nine day journey took them through old castles, on a cruise down the Rhine, on scenic drives through the Swiss and Austrian Alps, and on a guided tour of Munich which included a visit to the Olympic Stadium. Due to the rainy spring weather the annual German and Spanish Clubs ' Latin Olym- pics had to be cancelled this year. JAANA LEINONEN AND LOLO WIDMARK, North- wests two foreign exchange students, read the Homecoming issue of the Saga. Jaana Is from Finland and enjoyed attending the Friday night football games while staying in the United States. She said she would rather stay here in the Midwest because it ' s not so much of a place for tourists. Lolo, who IS from Sweden, participated in volleyball, basketball, and the musical. ; » Ann ' k 22 Spanish
