Club learns more by being together Esther Ford says that the purpose of the Mexican American Club is to give the members an opportunity to meet others with the same culture. She described the club as being one in which the members determine the year-round activities. With this in mind, the involvement and participation was widespread among all the members. The Mexican American Club, like other organizations, partook in selling various items throughout the school year. The members began this fund drive with the sale of M8zM's during October. Soon to follow was the sale of calendars in December and carnations and boutonnieres during Valen- tine's Day. Some of the funds raised went toward a Christmas party for the bilingual program at Berkman Elementary and toward the Cinco de Mayo trip to San An- tonio at the year's end. Esther Ford, sponsor, discusses plans of the trip with Peter Beltran, sophomore.

German students board wrong bus It was a cold November morning as the German Club boarded their bus to go to the New Braunfels Wurstfest. Due to a misunderstanding, they boarded the wrong bus and the bus ended up at SAC. This famous event brought recognition to the German Club, although it had nothing to do with foreign language education. The group did eventually get to Wurstfest, a German festival held annually in New Braunfels. It is basically a head-on collision with the culinary side of German culture. Another highlight of the year was a trip to the Alpine Cottage for dinner. Some of the club members took part in a European trip, which lasted 24 days, includ- ed visits to such famous German places as Munich, Heidelberg University, and Rothen- burg. German teacher Mary Fox said it was important to visit such places, not only to give an idea of the culture, but when students see a foreign place on the news, They'll have been there. In conclusion, the German Club had a very successful year, Mrs. Mary Fox, spon- sor, said that her overall aim was to teach a student very well, so if, in the future, he was required to learn another language, he'd already know how to learn one. w GERMAN CLUB: lBottom Rowj Suzanne Shove, Cindy Wymola, Lynn Guin, Brenda Staszak, Teresa Kammer, Brad Barron, Gina Legamaro, Tammy Wernli, Hope McCleskey fSecond Rowl Brad Tate, Tasha Smith, Robbie Hartman, Shelley Rister, Tammy Pfluger, Mary Kay Madrigal, Wendi Grant, Mary Fox, sponsor, Mike Dahle, Joel Kattner l'l'hird Rowj Steve Childers, Matt Barbini, Sherry Camp, Doug George, Renee Ballehr, Roger Leuckie, Cherry Krienke, Robin Halfmann, Sean Duncan, Russell Sander lFourth Row!
