“THE RED STREAK” LEADS STAFF The one who headaches — Editor. “Faster than a laser beam scorching the sky! ...” RZDZ of Starwars? Nope. It was merely Miss Vicki Chamberlin and her trusty red pencil as she whizzed through staff member’s articles. The very compe¬ tent newspaper staff, headed by David Williamson, managed to com¬ plete deadlines so that the Pirateer could be published each month. The Pirateer was the student’s paper filled with articles, artwork, and poems created by them. The staff also tried to include articles about the community and world, as well as school events. The issues which were published during the school year served as a record of fads which were popular among students. They ranged from the harmless and fun “Space Dust” to the increasing use of drugs in school. Truly the staff completed their jobs as reporters of P.H.S. 29

FRENCHIES KEEP FIT DESPITE CUISINE Keeping with tradition, the French Club was led by a Junior, Mike Casey. Along with fellow officers. Sue Arlt, Vice-President, Allison VanLanding- ham. Secretary, and Andrea Miller, treasurer, “le president” coordinated a “Tour de France” bikeride in October. As winter neared, the French Club’s ac¬ tivities moved indoors with a crepe party at Gwen Petrie’s house. The members continued delving into French quisine by holding a fondue party in January in the home of Doug Gendron. In the Spring, the members of the French Club sold French hard candies and chocolates which had been extremely popular with Pirates in past years. The French Club celebrated the ending of school by travelling to Portsmouth where they encountered the famous five-course dinner at Maison de Michelle. As the members and Sponsor Mrs. Durr, squeezed into their cars to return home, they vowed to hold another bikeride to counteract the extra pounds!! ■i We.fi.

GERMAN CLUB HOSTS EXCHANGE Obviously Robert MacT.aeblin didn’t get the joke that was tnfd trr-fierm.an’ | This year, the German Club spent most of its time and effort raising money and sponsoring raffles and sales to finance the German Ex¬ change Program. The officers, as well as the rest of the club, worked very hard this year to make the exchange with Germany possible. It did, however, find time and money to take a small cultural experience of dining out for a complete German meal at “Das Waldcafe.” An attempt was made to attend the Tri-State Convention in Ches¬ ter, Va. but plans fell through. The German Club hoped at the end of the year to give a small scholarship to a deserving Senior, chosen by a committee of stu¬ dents and Faculty, as in years past. 30
