Leading Improv member David S. Mar- gowsky said, Besides doing the big events like Open House, the Festival of Arts and district shows (like Paramount Presents), we just say what we feel and go with it. We want to put to- gether entertainment that ' s loose but well done. explained an Improv organizer Brian Gillespie. From expressing feeling to coping with emotions faced by growing teens. We started Peer Counseling in 1984-85 with a core of six en- thusiastic students. By the end of the year they were able to need on our campus by providing a sympa- thetic ear and lots of warm hugs, ex- plained adviser Jane Van Wagoner. Gloria Sanchez ex- plained, Everyone at one time or another has felt sad, hurt, re- jected, or confused joined Peer Counseling because I want to make those times a lit- tle more bearable. I don ' t think anyone should ever feel like they are alone. story by V Domine: lay- out by Alicia Rodriguez: pho- tos by Jack Elliott and Brad Lindenberg. 1 62 Organizations Peer Counseling — Improv

rning cul e got The French and Spanish clubs collaborate in a festive party. All the world over, teenagers have a mutu- al love of food. The Spanish and French clubs took advantage of this by combining their popular menus for the first time in a Thanks- giving Luncheon. The feast consisted of French chicken, cheese, various French pastries, tacos, enchi- ladas, taquitos, tortilla chips and salsa. To the French club, experiencing culture was o.ften accom- plished by their taste buds. In October, the members met at a French restaurant called La Vie en Rose (Life in the Pink) in Brea. It was very ele- gant and the food was terrific! said club sec- retary Bijal Vakil. In December, the club had an exclusive Christmas party where each period decorated a chosen wall with Christmas decorations. ' We (French 11) were very creative, but the French I class, who were mostly freshmen, won anyway, said club president Julie Wishner. The club also had a chance to taste a Bouche de Noel (a Christmas cake log with coffee-flavored filling). Club members volun- teered to bake them. Making it was hard, said sophomore Denine La Bat, but eating it paid off! The Spanish Club had a more educational way of experiencing culture in mind. They used fun- draisers to promote their Spanish Library, a collection of video tapes, books, and any- thing that could help students to understand the Spanish culture better, said adviser Pat Kondon. The club also went on their annu- al trip to Olvera Street. Although France and Spain are very close to each other geographi- cally, the two clubs chose different routes in experiencing their selected foreign cul- ture.
