The Spanish Club, which meets under the direction of Mrs. Sweesy, purchased two flags, representing the countries of Switzerland and Portugal, to add to the Quaker Valley collection. This year the club President is Jim Roolf. Other selected Senior officers are Dave Bell- Vice-President, and Kathy Hunter-Secretary-Treasurer. A wide variety of activities is of- fered, including games played in Spanish and Spanish movies and slides. The Spanish Club also has done something unique in this year's elections. Underclass officers were elected for each position, so that they could become familiar with the organization. l Le Cercle Fraincaisj' under the sponsorship of Miss Kappas, met this year with the aim of increasing interest in the French people, country, and language. This year most of the meetings were conducted in French, which provided a challenge for the members. Each week, volunteers presented programs including games, records, and films. All French students were eligible for membership. Cindy Fowler was elected President, Joe Stunja- Vice President, and Tom Melonic-Secretary-Treasurer. panish Club-French Club

The Key Club, an all boys Kiwanis-related organization, whose motto is We Build, was one of the most active clubs in the school. After a busy summer working with the Kiwanis at the annual Harvest Festival, the boys returned ready to participate in many school activities. During football season, they sold spirit ribbons helping to promote much of the school spirit. Other activities in which the Key Club participated were collecting tickets and printing line-ups for the basketball games, holding a successful work day, and aiding the Kiwanis on pancake day. A delegation from Quaker Valley attended the annual Pennsylvania State Key Club Convention at the Mt. Airey Lodge in the Pocono Mountains. Much of the success of this year's Key Club can be attributed to the sponsor, Mr. Schroth, and the club's president, John Mitsak.

German Club is one of the more active clubs, even though it doesn't meet every week. The officers, Dan Challis-Presidentg Gary Ruprecht-Vice-Presidentg and Jane Leonard-Secretary-Treasurer, often conducted their meetings in German. Members learn about Germany and its language via various films, pictures, and tapes. Mr. Adams, the club sponsor, who has traveled extensively throughout Germany, enriches the meetings with many personal anecdotes. ' The main annual event of the club is the Language Festival at Buhl Planetarium, in which all the club members reveal their hidden talents in competition with other schools. Library Club, a new addition to the activity roster, and Library Aides spend a lot of time and study halls in the library. Both clubs are dedicated to broaden its members' knowledge of the library and its related occupations. With the guidance of Miss Scheehan, the clubs are making plans for a handbook to aid the student in his library work. The clubs are also planning a field trip to the Hillman Library and the Hunt Botanical Library. Though small in number, these two clubs are large in enthusiasm. German Club-Librar Aids Club
