Spanish During the 1976-77 school year, the Spanish classes were fortunate to have not one, not two, but three Spanish aides. The aides, Oscar Camou, Juan Olivars, and Irma Flores, helped the students learn more about the Spanish language and their culture. Classroom work included written worksheets, original writings, dialogues, and speeches. Occassionally, classroom work was interrupted to see films and do other things such as miking pinatatas. oecause of its activities and attractions, German was a popular language at RHS this year. Keeping up with past tradition, RHS German club members took on the Minnehaha Academy German students in a soccer game. Contrary to past history, RHS students lost and traded their prized golden soccer shoe for a disappointing golden bone. Also, during the winter months, they had an intriguiging visit to a German restaurant and went on a ski trip. Besides recreational activities, fund raisers were also connected with the German group. Joyce Wood headed a group of industrious students who purchased, picked up, delivered, and sold donuts and milk to hungry RHS students every morning in the foyer. They also sold concessions for the soccer games. In the weeks before Christmas, they joined the other language students for caroling in the halls and a party in the cafeteria. Another all-language function was the Mardi Gras held in March. Some of the students worked throughout the year to earn money for a summer trip to Germany. Responsible for overseeing all activities were German Club officers: President: Augie Schauer Vice President: Marcie Theis 8 Di covering: Orman, Spanish Treasurer: Paul Habegger 3 DISCOVERING In addition to regular class work, many students were involved in raising money for their trip to Mexico. These fund raising activities included selling Chupa Chups and jewelry, and having a bake sale and a Spanish dinner on the night of Open House. German
