Spanish Club The opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of the language and people of Spanish-speaking countries was offered to members of the Spanish Club. Monthly meetings emphasized practice in speaking the language and introduction to speak- ers who had been to various parts of Latin Amer- ica. Members participated in traditional folk-sing- ing festivals, games, and dances to obtain a better idea of Spanish color and customs. A Christmas party and a spring picnic, as well as a spirited initiation ceremony, accentuated the group's ac- tivities. President was Eileen Detlingg adviser, Miss Barbara Stiles. French Club An unusual initiation ceremony characterized the informal atmosphere of this year's French Club. New members were sent on a scavenger hunt and required to ask local residents for' the necessary articles in French. This amusing challenge was followed by a party where initiates proved their mettle by baking cookies from authentic French recipes. Other activities included a Christmas party, where members caroled and played games in French, and a series of discussions on French literary history. President was Ron Straussg ad- visers, Mrs. Sue Bach and Mrs. Betty Kaspar.

German Club Meetings in the form of seminars to discuss the culture and people of Germany often ended in spirited debates for the German Club as members fired rapid questions and answers at each other in the German language. These after- school sessions successfully achieved the aim of increasing communication and comprehension levels of each student. Members also enjoyed exercising their wits by playing Scrabble in German. German life was described by foreign students from the University of Oregon, and Adviser Gerald Webking who traveled in Germany in 1964. Led by President Gregg Husk, members also viewed German films at the Mayflower Theater, and handled concessions at a basketball game to earn money for the club treasury. ef Students group around Jim Tysell, center, to look at pictures of German countryside Linda Andrews, right, and Shirley Webb chat informally about French literary history.
