International flare Past and present French, German, and Spanish students make up International Club. The club meets monthly in room 126. The meetings include guest speakers, usually a student who has lived in or visited a foreign country, and slide presentations. Various refreshments are served. The first International Club meeting was held October 27, 1981. Guest speaker was Iesper Gude, Reserve's exchange student from Denmark. He showed photographs of his home and family life in Denmark. In the spirit of Halloween, a mask contest was held. Karen Miller, who portrayed herself as an alian being from another planet, won the contest, receiving Michael Stanley's North Coast album. Doughnuts and apple cider was served. The electing of the officers was also prominent at the first meeting. The newly elected officers are: President, Beth Boyer, Vice-president: Cindy Wells, Secretary!Treasurerg Monica Hudek. The International Club was also responsible for the International Christmas Showcase. Several students brought into the school a variety of Christmas articles from around the world. The highlight of International Club was the Fiesta, held at Tod Avenue Methodist Church. Each student brought a foreign covered dish, and when all the food had arrived, there was quite a smorgasbord of delicious dishes. After dinner, following an old Spanish tradition, pinatas were hung and broken by Keith Monty and Iesper Gude, followed by a shower of candy. Then came the dancing, with the music provided by Audio Sounds of Warren, headed by Mark Worgelin. The advisors for the International Club were Madame Stephanie Gabbard, Herr Dean Keller, and Senor Philip Bardos. Enthusiasm from the members made their supervision much easier.
