French Club busy, starts new Ensemble Musica French Club continued to be the largest club at Roosevelt, with membership of about 130 this year. The first activity was a picnic in September featuring the new Ensemble Musical, a group headed by Katherine MacKinnon and consisting of in- strumentalists to accompany the sing- ing. On October 21, the seventh annual French Club Bake Sale was held in the student center. French delicacies were offered, and the club netted about $120. In November, there was a Circle de la Conversation, a dinner where only French was spoken. Later that month, club members enjoyed lunch at Alouette, a new French restaurant in Des Moines. The club held its traditional holiday party December 18. In February, the club went to Pella and saw a performance of Le Treteau de Paris, a troupe of professional French actors. The show included Eugene Ionesco ' s comedy play, La Cantatrice Chauve, and poems and sketches by Jacques Prevert. The club held a progressive French dinner in March. Later in the spring, French Club was well-represented at the Arts Fair. The Ensemble Musical and French Club Chorus performed, and the club had a stand with gourmet goodies. Heidi Fatland was the club president first semester; Sue VerSteeg held the office during second semester. Other officers were Daryl Fingerman, vice- president; Liz Rodgers, secretary; and Brad Carpenter, treasurer. Mr. Gary Thelen was the club sponsor.

Spanish Club doubles membership, has various activities Due largely to effort on the part of its officers, the Roosevelt Spanish Club doubled its membership this year. The club began with a membership drive and dinner in the fall, and part of the group went to see the Ballet Folklorico Mexicano at C.Y. Stephens Auditorium in Ames. Although they were unable to reach their goal of a trip to Mexico over spring break, members used the money they earned from selling M Ms candies for other social activities. Another dinner was held, and the group traveled to Ames again, this time to see Jose Molinas-Baile Espanoles. Members of Spanish Club were asked to participate in Pan- American Day in the spring. The group sang at Weeks Junior High, Tech High, and Val Air Ballroom. Many students were able to use their Spanish in helping to translate for the group of Venezuelans who visited Des Moines as part of the Friendship Force in April. The executive officers of the club were Bill Blakely, presi- dent; Sharon Nussbaum, vice-president; Kerry Mitchell, treasurer; Denise Griemann, secretary; and Anne Kong, publicity chairperson. Mr. Fred Pratt was the club sponsor. Top right: Denise Oriemann sells tacos at the Spanish Club taco stand during the Arts Fair. Bottom right: These members traveled to Ames.
