Amies-Amlgas ln late September, the French and Spanish Club presidents, Amy Curtis and Sherry Bashir, respec- tively, encouraged activity and in- terest in their clubs by giving short orientation speeches. ln the past few years, the foreign language clubs have lost some of the en- thusiasm and participation that once surrounded them. Therefore, the two presidents aimed at renew- ing interest by planning varied ac- tivities. The French classes went to St. Stephen's in September to hear a French poetfsongwriter, while early October saw the Spanish Club attending a Flamengo Dance presentation at Lisner Auditorium. Both clubs held many meetings to plan for their Christmas parties. The Spanish afternoon ex- travaganza included a pifiata, along with South American and Spanish dishes. The French Club, boasting of Buche de Noel, New Orleans style pralines and homemade petit fours, planned a dessert party for all its members. As the year progressed, the Clubs arranged a novel French- Spanish dinner party. The proud and confident Spaniards chal- lenged the Frenchmen to a sports event and produced a Spanish play, whereas the Frenchies held a picnic in June as their grand finale. In the true spirit of the secret ballot, Holly Gilmore and Heather Gillinson cast their votes for the French Club officers.

Amy Curtis cannot believe just how trivial trivia can get. New h W Quick Wits Planning to take a year off due to the large number of other teams and limited number of spaces open on the NBC show, the It's Academic team was greatly sur- prised to learn in mid-November that in fact there would be room for them on the air. The St. Agnes team has always stressed fun and learning, and more often than not, victory has followed close behind. During Christmas vacation, the team met in the empty school for heated practices. Coach Mr. Nemetz and the three returning senior members informed the four new juniors on game tactics. Lunchtime meetings and after school practices increased friend- ship among teammates, until fi- nally on February ninth, the well prepared SAS'ers met their oppo- nents with a smile on their faces and a vast storage of knowledge in their heads. -pf ,, A .
