'Speaking In Tongues' Was A Club Requirement What four OHS clubs spoke differ- ent languages, but had a common goal? The answer would be the French, German, Spanish and Latin clubs. All four clubs represented a differ- ent language, but each worked to de- velop fluency and interest in their lan- guage area. Halloween Spook Houses and food tasting parties were just part of the activities experienced by the French Club. The happening for the German Club involved the Singing Valen- tines. For less than a dollar, members of the German Club would call a friend and wish them a Happy Valen- tine's Day by singing a love song. In April, several members of the German Club entered state competi- tion after placing first in regional. The winners were: Kevin Winstead, second,prose reading and third, oral proficiency, Bart Rhodes, second, oral proficiency, Pam Pulliam, second, oral proficiency, Lisa Nix and Pam Wade, third, costume award, Colleen O'Con- nor, first, costume award and second, food award. The Junior Classical League is not an organization for classical piano players, but is another name for the Latin Club. The main purpose of the Junior Classical League is for students who know Latin to get together and share their ideals and knowledge and also to take what they have learned in class and use it in a fun way. At the JCL State Convention in Louisville, Junior Steve Nelson was elected the state President for 1977-78 and also ten members won recogni- tion in state competition. The members to receive recognition were: Bill Taylor, second place in third year Latin vocabulary and first place in Roman Culture, David Parks, first place in second year Roman History, Kevin Anderson, first place in third year Mythology, Keith Poteat, third place in first year Mythology, Ralph Brewer, first place in fourth year de- rivatives, Steve Nelson, first place in third year grammar, Lora Barlow, sec- ond place in third year grammar, El- len Barlow, second place in second year grammar and Susan Lovern, sec- ond place in first year grammar. The main activity of the Spanish Club, with the help of the National Spanish Honor Society, was to spon- sor the 1977 Homecoming Dance. - By Pam Abrams and Kelly Keohane ubs And Organizations 'W-fa Discussing their first-place wins in Junior Classical League compe- tition are fclockwise from leftjz Kevin Anderson, David Parks, ': Sponsor Jean Mill- r and Ralph Brewer.

Truckin' . . . Worshippin' . . And Studyin' . , . OHS students have a variety of clubs and organizations that they can join at the two centers. The varied clubs are best illustrated by such groups as the Bicycle Club, the Good News Fellowship and the Junior Investigators. While Junior In- vestigators relates to students in American History at the 11-12 Center, the Good News Fellowship is located at the 9-10 Center and was formerly the Christian Student Union. The OHS Bicycle Club was spon- sored by William Roach, an industrial arts teacher at the 9-10 Center. The club met twice a month in warm weather and once a month in the win- ter for rides. A Road Rally Race and an Ecology Ride were activities during the school year. A camping trip was taken at the end of the year. Good News Fellowship met every morning at 7:30 a.m. and was spon- sored by Special Education teachers Ken Roberts and Sally Rudisell. Some activities that took place dur- ing the past year were a skating party, picnic and a hike. A similar type of religious group was at the 11-12 Center and was called Christians-In-Action Margaret Chance and Mary Jane Sanford were co-sponsors the group. The 11-12 Center had two Junior Investigator groups. One group was headed by Ella Jones, the other was led by Sandra Good. Both teach American History. Junior Investigator meetings took place every four to six weeks and were highlighted by students reporting on a topic. The highlight of the year was the Spring Banquet held May 25 at the Old House.
