Deutsch Club Devours Delicacies Making it a question of life or death, Mrs. Perry, French 2 teacher, gives her class an oral examination. Students who gaped in surprise and awe as they saw apparent reincarnations of a n c i e n t Romans sweep by during the winter in flowing togas can relax. These were the inhabitants of WJ's particular Latin Quarter, members of the Latin Club, who had brought back, temporarily, the glories of Rome. Highlight of the Latin Club's year was a Roman banquet to celebrate the festival of Saturnalia. Draped in togas and speaking in halting Anglicized Latin, they dined on roast beef and grapes and waged mock gladiatorial contests at the November 18 party held at the home of a member. Les Petits Chefs D'Oeuv1'e, the infant French club publications, printed such literary works as poems on falling rain, crossword puzzles, and short stories. Club members visited a French restaurant in down- town Washington, played French bingo, and reeled off words in spelling bees. The German Club traveled en masse this year to the German Embassy in nearby Washington to get a glimpse of the German way of life, tasted delica- cies, acted out skits to develop fluency, and watched movies about travel and customs in modern Deutschland.
