Th -Cultural Side of Language French Club Parlezfyous Francais? lf you did, that was the only prereciuisite needed to join the French club, Anya one talcing a French class was technie cally in the club. No one was taught how to speak the language but they did get to discover a whole new cul- ture. NN ho would have thought the plain variety ot garden snails were a national French delicacy called escargots ? The club learned these things by planning outings to places where they could find French culture in the LA. area. Cioing to a French art exhibition at the LA. Art Museum or visiting the Cate Beignetl' in the Brea .Ntall brought Europe closer to home. The club also participated in many school related activities. For the sec'- ond xear they won tirst place tor their Homecoming float. Few brave meme bers dared to ride their bicycles in front ot' the whole school at the toot- ball game, creating a simulation of Frenchmen going on an sortie touta ingl. They pedaled down the track behind the Homecoming court, with red, white and blue streamers llap- ping against the wind. No one would have taken them for Americans with their loaves of French bread, berets .tda-c and moustaches. Ntost of the French club members were of the French Ill and IV classes. They made decisions like accepting a challenge trom the German club to play a game ot dodgeball. lhe club also planned to set up a booth at club day during winter and spring sports week. Their goal was to do somef thing once a month, which made them one ot the most actixe clubs on campus. ln December, with the spirit of Christmas in mind, the club sang Christmas carols at the Clara Baldw in Convalescent Home, in Trench, ot course! Later, a party was held for all the carolersi QFRENCH CLUB.

188 German Club After eating his rinderflesch troastl, Matt Alexander stated, I was the only one brave enough to try something dif- ferent. All the other German Club mem- bers ate the same thing, paprikasnitzel lbreaded veall. The German feast also included milch fmilkj and gemuse lvege- tablesl. The German club learned about German food by attending dinner at the Phoneix Club in Anaheim on December 7th, By being in German Club, students didn't only learn to like German food, but they also considered the cultural aspects of living in Germany. Meetings were held as often as twice a month, during which upcoming activities were discussed. The challenge of a volleyball game lzone- dodgel was directed to the French Club. They also worked on making a plaque to hang on the gym wall. Members felt that having a plaque on the wall like all the other clubs would give their club recog- nition. AGERMAN CLUB.

Spanish Club In the month of December the treasury of the Spanish club was hit with a set- back. They had originally planned a bake sale at the Alpha Beta in Rowland Heights. But, when their activity request was turned in to ASB., they were informed that the principal of Rowland High would not allow the fund raiser to take place in the Rowland District. Find- ing this out too late to change the loca- tion, Spanish club members decided to have a carwash at a later date. Mr, lou lopez lAdvisorl, commented, I wish we could have been told sooner, so we could have changed the location. Scenic pictures of the countryside in Ecuador were shown at a slide presenta- tion. At one of the meetings, Mr. Lopez brought the pictures, taken when he was there, for the club members to enjoy. The Spanish Club met once a month and planned activities. Some of these were a trip to Olvera Street, a Mexican lunch on Mexican Independance Day and an end of the year banquet at a Mexi- can restauranta YCUTE FURRY AND ADORABLE, Mikie the Ger- man club's mascot, shows off his fur.

Backing Up the Boys Pep Club The day of the Homecoming game I was a little self-conscious when I went to school since I was wearing a bright gold T-shirt. People kept com- ing up and asking, VVhat's the T-shirt for? I had to explain to them, lt's for the pep club. Then I would add, We're going to root at the game, since the club had just been formed. That night at the game the whole club, about 100 of us, went down on to the field and made a giant tunnel for the football players to run through. It was so exciting. I felt I would have a lot of fun with this club since we would root at a lot of the sporting events. lt wasn't all fun and games, though. I remember when my friend Gret- chen Mark decided to start the club. She, had been thinking about it for a while, but we could never get an advisor. Finally, Mr. Tim Guzik, a brand new teacher, accepted the post. At the first meeting there was a much bigger turn-out than expected. After that, we decided on uniforms, arranged transportation to the games and tried to plan what we wanted to do for the rest of the year. There was a lot of running around and organiz- AGOING CRAZY AND HAVING FUN Iennifer McQuilken, Iennifer Yip, Kim Huttger and Geri Takai are cheering and representing the newly APEP CLUB.
