As a change of pace this year, Les Berets Noirs met at the homes of members. During the Christmas season some of the girls sang carols at the hospital and Sand-haven. Many sent Christmas cards to last year's Danish A.F.S. student, Helle Neilsen. Paris Bingo was an added novelty for entertainment at the meetings. Pencil games helped them review their vocabulary of French words. French II students presented The Three Wishes for the club and at the variety show. LeAnn Scheidecker and Jeanne Steffen portrayed the woodcutter and his foolish wife. Homemade fudge and cookies were sold at a sock hop. Luisa Torchiani's parents sent them colorful French insignia to wear on their berets. In April they spent an educational and interesting Saturday in Chicago.

Council Backs Student Projects Some of the many duties of student council were organizing the homecoming parade, operating the ice cream machine, running concessions, and taking tickets at basketball games. Mr. Wesner, Luisa Torchiani, and five members attended the Northeast-Northwest District Convention. At the beginning of the year, hand books of school rules were given to freshmen. Many good ideas were placed in the suggestion box which was in the library. In November the school's waste cans were painted black and orange. Janet Fallenstein drew the winning official Indian head for the school. The scrapbook, a welcome addition to the library, contained writeups of school activities that were printed in the newspapers of neighboring towns. Luisa Torchiani was presented money to call her parents in Rome on Christmas Day. In March a telephone was installed near the gym for student use. Several fund raising activities were held for A.F.S.: a variety show, sock hops, Old Clothes Day, Burmuda Day, and the selling of tags and Shares of Good Will. The money gained was used to finance a foreign student and also for sending a student abroad this summer. Student council members discuss plans for an Old Fashioned Day. Left to Right: M. Todd, J.
