What's the Eiffel I'W Tower doing at our homecoming I I game? The French Club enter- | tained the crowd with their recon- struction of the landmark during the homecoming football game. The home- coming float was only one of the many activities which the french club was in- volved in. During the holidays mem- bers of the club decorated a tree as part of the Christmas in the Park display downtown. The club's fund raisers consisted of candy sales throughout the year and the selling of croissants on International Day. The club has up to ten candy sales but members say the effort pays for it- self. ‘T love the club for all the privileges it has but we have to sell a lot of candy.” explained Christine Wang. The end of the year is a busy yet fun time for members. The club goes to Great America in the spring and, later in the year, a barbeque picnic is given at Vasona Park. The final activity of rec- ognition for members is a French din- ner given in their honor. The dinners take place at various restaurants de- pending on their current french class level, with French IV eating at the most extravagant and each class below at a slightly less expensive bistro. Being a member of the French Club has many privileges but it requires a lot of participation and it is difficult to be- come a member. By Aaron Francis. DOING HIS PART. Vice President Danny Cong does his part for the club by slopping to sell a box of candy during lunch. The club has many candy sales throughout the year and every member is required to sell their share of the merchandise. Even though I'm vice president I still have to do my part as a member. stated Danny. Photo by Aaron Francis. ALL TOGETHER NOW.

They tell the sched- ules for sports events, meeting days for clubs, and plans for special events. Because of this, the members of KSTS take their job very seriously. One new idea added this year was to play music at the beginning of the announcements. President Cynthia Gomez likes this new concept. I think music is a creative way to wake up students and make them listen to the announcements. Another addition to the announce- ments this year was the selection of Student of the Month.” Each month, a student would be chosen in order to acknowledge his efforts. The club officers this year were President Cynthia Gomez, Vice President Geoff Keller, and Secre- tary-Treasurer Heather Hyashi. Cyn- thia commented, This year's club is more enthusiastic. We have more members this year and more ideas. Every member felt that this was ap- parent in the way the announce- ments were presented. By Shelley Woods. On the air.

But you should like to have fun, meet people, and not mind sell- ing a little candy. Led by advisers luan Martinez and Teresa Flores, the Spanish Club par- ticipated in many events around campus. The club was partially re- sponsible for a Cinco de Mayo din- ner held in the gymnasium which featured authentic Mexican food. During the course of the year the club had numerous luncheons rang- ing from Togo's sandwiches to a vari- ety of Mexican cuisines. The lun- cheons were paid for with candy sales, nacho sales on International Day, and club dues. Part of the club funds are also set aside until the end of the year when a small scholarship is given to one of the selected members based on scholarly performance and club par- ticipation. By Aaron Francis. THE THREE AMIGOS. Club president Tonya Pine, vice president Michole Ramos, and secretary treasurer Kris Vine briefly step aside from lunch time club activities. This elite group is responsible for the extent and success of the club's activities. Tanya commented. We try to have the club do as much as possible. We want it to be fun and interesting so it will oontinue to grow each year. Photo by Shelly Woods. French Spanish Clubs 131
