The French people have long been known for their fine pastries, so it only made sense that the French Club would try a few out. They held a Pa- tisserie Party in which they were able to enjoy eight different French pas- tries. At Christmas time, they went car- oling, singing all the songs in French. Also during the school year, they went bowling with the Spanish Club. The French club was able to exper- ience fine French food at a restaurant in Carmel called the Glass Chimney. They raised the money for this by sell- ing candy bars. At the end of the year, the club honored the seniors with a party, where they received T-shirts and cer- tificates. The club members also pre- sented the officers with gifts at this party. The club officers were Cath- leen Stewart, president; Leslie Har- land, vice-president; Barb Lamb, treasurer; Kim Irick, secretary; and Ann Jewell, social chairman. In return for the party, the seniors held a surprise party at their last meeting. At this meeting, they pre- sented to the club a silk flower ar- rangement and a candle with Le Cercle Francais (French Club) on it. FOREIGN EXCHANGE Miss Buell sponsored the Foreign Exchange Club again last year. The club was a very active one, but it had several hard working students to lead the club. Cathleen Stewart acted as the club ' s president; Bill Parrott was first vice-president; Lora Miller was second vice-president; Laura Culross held the position of secretary; Steve Edmond s was treasurer; and the re- porter was Kim Irick. The club ' s big event was their for- eign exchange week. During this week, many activities took place in- cluding having foreign exchange stu- dents from other schools come to Tay- lor for a day. The group also held an international progressive dinner. One member of the club hosted an exchange student. Sophomore Joe Wittig had Takayasu Tsukamoto, from Japan, stay with him for the year. Mrs. Henderson, French Club sponsor. f 134 Organizations

Alpha-Omega Club Active County-wide Alpha Omega is a fairly new club, but it has good attendance and is ac- tive in after-school activities. They had a skating party and had their usu- al 7: 1 5 A.M. meeting on Wednesday, which in itself is a great accomplish- ment considering the time they would have to get up to make the meetings. They also participated in county-wide Fellowship of Christian Athletes and other students ' groups ' activities. Alpha Omega: (Row 1 ) Barb Lamb, Lynnette Myers, Pat Fines, Stasha Mason, Diana Rice.

Leslie Harland, French Club vice-president. SPANISH Last year ' s Spanish Club kept busy with many activities, ranging from going bowling to a trip to Mexico. Mrs. Inman sponsored this group and Donna Freeman was president. The club was able to enjoy two din- ners out. They went to Indianapolis and visited Mexican restaurants, Pepe ' s and El Torito ' s. A highlight of the group ' s year was designing their own club shirts. With the help of Mrs. Chaffee, they de- signed Spanish Club emblems and had them placed in white on red sweaters. Another fun activity planned by the club was a love letter writing contest. For their February meeting, each member had to write a love letter in Spanish in order to enter the meeting. Over the school year, they made money by selling candy. This money helped to partially pay for some stu- dents ' fees on a trip to Mexico. A few of the club ' s members, along with a few teachers, planned to visit Mexico City, Guadalajara. Guanajuato, San Miguel de Allende, and Puerto Val- larta over the summer. The Spanish Club seemed to have a very successful year. They managed to combine learning with fun, a task that is often not easy to accomplish. Spanish Club: C. Polston, J. Ramos, E. Snider, C.
