xgii 2 German lub creates cottage Because of the melange of lan- guages which make up our World, and even our own country, students more eagerly participate in lan- guage courses and clubs. Students enter with an outlook of better com- munication for the future. One such club available at Thornwood was the German Club. German Club members actively worked together to create surround- ings suitable for easy learning, for environment is a big factor to suc- cessful education. The group's ac- tivities Were partly a result of its many profitable fund raisers. Ger- man Club sold stuffed animals, worked basketball concession stands and Washed cars which pro- vided money for the roller skating, movies, parties and picnics. The German Club Christmas dinner which took place on December 5 was held in a facsimile of a German cot- tage Where members prepared de- lectable dishes such as chicken, bratwurst, sausage, and fish almon- dine for the discriminating palates. Secretary of the German Club, Don- na Vallow, stated that, It Went real- ly Well and everything was deli- cious. A movie was shown and Santa Claus even made an appearance.

atin Club members keep busy Latin Club sponsor, Mrs. Susan Kotora, President Cindy Wolny, and her cabinet led Latin Club through another active year. Latin Club participated in many events. When creating a float for the Homecoming parade, which was their first project of the year, they demonstrated their ability to work together. Their hard work paid off as they received a second place tro- phy. A new fund raiser began with the aid of Santa Claus. On December 15, Latin Club opened up a yuletide post office in the cafeteria. Students wishing to send noel greetings to friends filled out postcards, which the Latin Club's elves delivered for Santa. Between raising money and pro- moting school spirit, the members still found time to satisfy their appe- tites at Roman Banquets held in the Student Activities Room. When telling of the club's main purpose, President Cindy Wolny stated that The club creates unity among Latin students by keeping it- self so busy. LATIN CLUB Back RoW.'

A-V Assoc. offers contrast Hold it right there! Let's see a pretty smile! says Patti Cook, a member of Thornwood's first Audio- Visual Association. The A-V Club began with ten members and co-sponsors, Mr. Ted Summers, photography instructor, and Mr. Mark Chartrand, A-V Direc- tor and an award winning profes- sional photographer. The A-V members gave Thorn- wood students and faculty a chance to get a portrait taken of them- selves. Our studio set up below A- V provided us with the necessary space needed for a picture-taking session, added Mr. Chartrand. Aside from Thornwood's A-V Club, Thornwood's Camera Club Above: After developing a print, Mark Koz- lowski examines the image for contrast.

Camera Club members sup- piied the stud 'nts and faculty with memories of p evious school events and activities. Phe small club of six members undertook the task of tak- ing the traditional pictures of cou- ples who desired to keep that mo- ment through pictures. Although Camera Club has a small membership, we believe that the few members and officers are well-qualified and hard-working in- dividuals, agreed Camera Club sponsor, Mr. George Gribbons, and President Jeff Monks.
