The Saturnalian banquet was not the only activity of the Latin C1ub's yearg club members participated in county Scrabble matches. 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.

The college preparatory club first taught Advanced Algcbr Mathematics has been called the tool with which we may unlock the complexities of the modern world: but our world is changing rapidly, and math- ematics, too, must change. Our newest program offers five years of math to some students, a year more than the traditional courses. Fifty-one juniors had completed two years of algebra and geometry and this year took advanced algebra and trigonome- try. Next year a new course will be created for them, Introduction to Analysis, which will include analytical geometry and some calculus. Enthusiastic students of logic were not content with the mathematics learned in class, they found two other activities to occupy their analytical pow- ers: Chess Club, sponsored by Mr. Muller, with 27 members this year, and the newly organized Bridge Club, sponsored by Mrs. Valdes, with 24. While Bridge Club fervently practiced the cult of Goren, Chess Club acted as missionaries of reason, bring- ing their logical processes to the nine other high school teams in their league on Friday afternoons. Depnrtments 121 each member the intricacies of the Goren point count system, bidding and playing, then the club members went on to sharpen their wits and skills at making grand and little slams in rubber after rubber. a, Trig Draws 63 Mrs. Vivian Osiasz Plane Geometry, Consumer Mathematics Mr. George Thompson Algebra 1, Algebra 2 Mr. Kenneth Tilton Algebra 2 - 'ff mk , .
