The French Club, I Alliance Francaise of Phoenix High School, was founded in 1961 to promote an interest in French culture and the French language. The members have attended French plays, had slides and movies, lis- tened to native speakers and records, and put on French assemblies. The two big events of the year are a French Christmas caroling party followed by a French meal at some member's home. In the spring the club has dinner at a French restaurant. The French Club, on Awards Day, offers a cup to the member of the ninth-grade class who has the highest average, and recognizes other high av- erages in the junior high school. At commencement five dollars is presented to the student who has received the highest mark on the Regents, provided it is a 90 or above. Vive La France! FRENCH CLUB First Row: J.

To be eligible for membership, it is re- quired only that one is a German student and has sincere interest in the club's activities. The highlight of this year's activities was the es- tablishment of the club's Pen Pal Program. Anyone with the desire received the name, age, and ad- dress of a student in Germany. Although the pen pal writes in English, members can also practice Ger- man by writing back in German. This program has proved to be successful and will be repeated in fu- ture years. The club also participated in the Student Council Winter Carnival, purchased pins for its members, and worked to revise its constitution. This year the officers are Bob Williams, President, Lori Helbock, Vice-President, June Knickerbocker, Secretary, and Brian Caswell, Treasurer.
