The clubls projects were field trips to Spanish plays and movies, a Spanish Christmas party, and an annual Span- ish Dinner featuring exotic dishes prepared by the members of the club.

SPANISH CLUB HOLDS ANNUAL DINNER The Spanish National Honor Society is composed of juniors and seniors who are presently taking either Spanish II, III, or IV and who have achieved outstanding grades in the subject. This Society gives qualified students the chance to further their study of the language, customs, and traditions of the Spanish people and also to help other stu- dents to learn the language by sponsoring a tutoring service. All of these activities are done under the guidance of Miss de Pauw, a veteran Spanish teacher. Dave Cole makes a point.

Meeting once a month, STUDENT The newly formed Cercle Fran- cais, under the guidance of Mrs. Rhoads, is open to students of French One and Two. The pur- pose of the club is to promote an interest in the French language and culture among students who are just beginning this aspect of high school study. The club took a trip to a French restaurant in New York City as well as partici- pating in several activities with the Advanced French Club. As French Two students gradu- ate into their third year of study, they are urged to join the Ad- vanced French Club which is open to all third and fourth year French students. Encouraging stronger liaisons with the French-speaking world, this year's French foreign exchange student, Katherine Sois- sons, was made an honorary mem- ber of the club. This year the club prepared a French dinner for its members, en- joyed several dinner-theater field trips, built a float with the other language clubs for the Homecom- ing parade and sponsored a dance with the Spanish Club. 196 slides of France, French movies and other French-oriented ma- terials serve to enrich each mem- ber's concept of French civilization. The club's officers have worked in cooperation with Mrs. Larson, the advisor, to make the club a success this year. BONNE CHANCE for next year!

O K which one of you guys put my Volkswagen up on the curb again? Pat Ballard. TO BUILD BETTER CITIZENS: POLITICAL SCIENCE CLUB Political awareness is a necessity in the United States today. Under the guidance of Mr. Koch and Mr. Riegel, the Political Science Club at S.P.- F.H.S. has undertaken the task of sup- plementing the knowledge gained in the Social Studies courses offered in our school. Innovations this year included hav- ing club delegates attend town coun- cil meetings and hearings, and having people involved in politics come and speak to the club. Movies relevant to this era were additional experiences in learning and enjoyment. The annual club event, a day trip to Washington, D.C., was held again this year with the students making a general tour of the nation's capital. In the spring, club officers and advisors attended the New Jersey High School Political Science Club Conference. Maybe I can run for President, someday! Linda Emery.
