Girls Experience Other Cultures Clubs Help Girls Gain Greater Know- ledge of Foreign Culture, Languages Foreign Language clubs exposed girls to the custonns, myths, and cul- tures surrounding the languages they studied In class. Notre Dame at pres- ent offers four language clubs: Latin, French, Spanish, and German. These clubs v hich are supervised by advi- sors, had meetings on assigned days, after school. This year ' s language club advisors were Mrs. Cathy Cook, Spanish; Sister Mary Elayne, French; Mrs. Paula Fogt, German; and Sister Myriam, Latin. Aside from studying the myths sur- rounding ancient Rome, the Latin club participated in activities. Sister Myriam strongly guided her club through these many important en- counters. One of these successful ventures was button-making. Members of the club, and their guests, made buttons with captions like, Veni, Vidi, VIci, CI came, I saw, and I conquered,] or Damihi osculuum loquor Latinam, [Kiss me I speak Latin.] These were only some of the many authentic Ro- man captions used on the buttons. The French Club participated in many activities. Some of these in- cluded a Mardi Gras celebration, and gourmet French cooking studies. French club members enjoyed cultural activities beyond class procedures. The Spanish club ' s activities in- cluded constructing pinatas around Christmas time. Mrs. Cook super- vised this activity as well as supplying information on the Spanish customs. Speakers visited the group to enlight- en them in informal lectures. Many students participated in this club, and with its help they appreciated and understood the Spanish language more. The German club conducted its meetings in German, a good drill and learning practice for the members. They also had get-acquainted meet- ings which were very beneficial. This year the club went on a field-trip to Frankenmouth, Michigan. Another Big event was the Saint Nicholas par- ty held during the Christmas season. mm I. ix - tf3 %m ?- w PCJ fci • ' ; 1 ' ' ' ' i i SS ' mmm
