Participation Ranks Over Winning H. ... mold your future the way you wont your future to be molded ... 112 ' e you ever watched Family Feud and wished you were a contes- tant? That dream became a reality for me through a club called College Bowl. During lunch we were interrogated on many subjects including science and art. After all the practice, we were finally ready for the big event which was held at UCR. All participants have a buzzer, and everyone waits quietly while the conductor of the whole operation pre- pares to ask the first question. He reads it off, and the first person to hit the but- ton is awarded an opportunity to at- tempt to answer the question. We compete for scholarships of $1,000 each. But, whether we win or lose, I ' m glad that I was granted the op- portunity to participate. I ' ll never forget my first Citrus Belt Speech Region tournament. Before I performed my speech, Ms. Mains gave me a pep talk. She said, Speech can mold your future the way you want your future to be molded. I visualized that my deathbed would be a gigantic auditorium with hundreds of spectators staring at me. Actually, it was held in a classroom with only one judge looking on. My entire speech was only ten min- utes long, but I hod to repeat it in three different rounds. I got judged separately to allow for nervousness. Even when I didn ' t win, I gained valu- able experience that will help me later. As Ms. Mains said, Public speakers 2 hold the world in their hands and wrap their words around it. ir 1.

Culture Absorbed by Avid Students ould never have believed it if 1 had not seen it with my own eyes. Culture invaded Rubidoux. For the first time, there were actually three language-ori- ented clubs co-existing on campus. The French Club lent a little of Fran- ce ' s atmosphere to RHS. Le Club Fran- cois is a social club that promotes the enioyment of culture, revealed Anna Minjarez, president. Meetings brought new foods, experiments, and the prac- tice of conversational French, After increased demands from her students, Ms. Westermeyer established the Deutscher Verein, or German Club With 60 members, the club always had a wide variety of German foods at their cultural experiences. A camping excur- sion in May provided an opportunity to learn German dances and songs. Advised by Ms. Duff, the Spanish Club was the retreat for students with an appreciation for Spanish Culture Members, consisting basically of Span- ish students, revelled in colorful foods and language at their meetings. Yes, it seems that Rubidoux has be- come a cross-section of cultures and customs. ■ ■ 1.
