Exploring a culture After school activities not only include sports, but various special interest clubs, among these are the language clubs. Membership is open to any foreign language student. Pan Am, German Club and French Club are specialized explora- tions of more than a new language, but an entire new culture. Various parties and trips enhance the learning of a culture, such as an Enchilada Party, sponsored by Pan Am, or sponsoring of Amity Aides. These aides are teachers from foreign countries visiting the language department to assist students in the learning of specific languages. During the first and second quarters there were two Amity Aides: one from Venezuela and one from Germany. Furthering the learning of French, German and Spanish, these clubs provide many educational as well as social opportunities for students of these languages. For those students excelling in the study of Spanish, there is the Spanish Honor Society, sponsored by Mr. Rudolph Bartolozzi. This club acknowledges those students having exceptional interest in Spanish. In February, members are initiated into this society during a candlelight ceremony. Membership is open to those students having an average of B or above in Spanish for five semesters. Activities of Spanish Honor Society include a bake sale, a banquet in May and participation in the various social gatherings of the Pan Am Club. Learning to speak French, Ger- man or Spanish - there ' s more to it than just words.
