i i . 153554. eutscher Verein - A .. - - Q Q A The ay music seeped under the door of the room Inside were seventy-five or more people. Most of the boys were dressed in g' . short leiderhose with wide crossed suspenders while the girls with their bright colored dirndle could be seen here and there. Many couples were dancing to the fast polka played by the musicians, and others could be seen near the refreshment table drinking root beer and eating bologna. Was this a typical party in some village in Germany? Indeed it was not! It was the annual Fasching given by the German Club. Each year, activities such as this one and others are given for the enjoyment of its members, but don't think the regular meetings are dullAthey aren't! Miss Koshewa, along with the help of Tim Cherry, president, Jerry Schoen- laub, vice-president, Peggy Herrmann, corresponding secretary, Ellen Smiley, recording secretary, David Rouben, treasurer, and David Cooper, sgt.-at-arms, make learning about the German people interesting as well as fun. 1' Ind 'P E Ateneo At 3:00 the bell rang and hundreds of students left their last class and rushed down to the front hall.'Why were they all crowded around the small stand in the front hall? Was some famous person here at Seneca? Was there being demonstrated an exhibition of karate and judo? Were the seniors finally going berserk after four years in high school? No, it was a candy sale . . . . . . h 1 . sponsored by the Spanish Club. Little did the students realize as they bought the bars, that with their money they were e ping to make life a little easier for an orphan in Guayaquel, Ecuador. Little did they think, as they crammed the chocolate, peanuts, and caramel into their mouths, that they were sending Seneca students to Mexico to learn about the customs, life, and language of the people. Little did they suspect, as they threw the wadded candy-wrappers on the floor, that they were bringing students from Quito, Ecuador, to learn about the American way of life. Yes, the Spanish Club, with your help, has been doing these things and a lot more, Helping to make it the big success it is today are Rief Kessler, president, Bill Webb, vice-president, Jean Seal, secre- tary, Gail Ritchie, treasurer, and sgt.-at-arms, Barry Amyx. The sponsors are Miss Dunlap, Miss Skaggs, and Miss Ries. I79

Les Cercles Francais Senior Division The Eiffel Tower stood in silence surrounded b th t y e sreets of gay Parisg Notre Dame rose above the peaceful Seine like an arm reaching up into the heavens. Many of the students reported such items to their friends at a French Club meeting. Ques- tions were thrown at them from all sides of the room. Did the painters really paint in the streets at the Montmarte? What did you think about the French girls? Did they all look like Bridgette Bardotte? Laughter rang through the room at some of the questions, but all were answered as well as they could be by the students. This was a typical meeting of the senior division of the French Club. It was interesting, gay, and informative. Miss Arnold, the sponsor, with the help of Jim Stiles, presidentg Cecy Rothinghouseg Vice-president, Helaine Davis, secretaryg Gig Sloan, treasurerg make the plans for the active year the French Club has.

The rich warm colors blended together into what would be, at a later date, .a masterpiece. Tourists leaned over their shoulders and examined the works with critical eyes. Suddenly it ended. The lights were turned on again and all of the students sitting in the small cafeteria left France and returned to Louisville. Some stretched their arms and some started talking, and some joined in a discussion of the film, but one thing was universal-they all had a great time! Mrs. Rans- dell and Mrs. Hasselwander arranged for this trip so that all the students could visit France without leaving their seats.
