French Club Has
Variety Of Plans
How would you like to take a
trip to France? This is one of the
many things that was discussed at
the first French dub meeting. If
eight people can go, Mrs, Pace is
planning to organize a group. The
Mardi Gras was also discussed at
the meeting thou^t nothing defin
ite was dedded.
This year, to be in French I dub,
members must have at least a
average. To be in French II and
French III one does not have to
have this average. Since French III
only has 12 members they are plan
ning to have a French Christmas
dinner.
Webb has three French teachers
this year; therefore we have many
individual dubs and officers. From
Mrs. Pace’s dasses the officers are:
French III, Bernard McNeiD, pres
ident; Mike O’Brian, vice-president;
Melina Bifulco, secretary. French
n, Robbie Clark, Cecelia Pruitt,
Dale Williford, presidents; Martha
Daniel, Susan Hunt, Patricia Morris,
vice presidents; Kathy Boyd, Tere
sa Currin, Susan Fox, secretaries.
French I, Frank Hielema and Peggy
Bryan, presidents; Debra Fox and
Dot Williford, vice-presidents; Dul-
de Ellington and Kathy Daniel, sec
retaries.
Mrs. Washington’s French I class
es elected the following people as
their officers: Patrick Devos and
Juluis Johnson, presidents; Bert
Sherman and Kay Vaughan, vice-
presidents; Edna Braswell and Pa-
trida Henderson, secretaries; Caro
lyn Slaughter and Betty King, treas-
lurers; and Susan Hughes and Shir
ley Ann Averett, reporters. Mrs.
Satterwhite has only one class of
French. Her officers are: Harry
Dixon, president; Gary Lee, vice-
president; and Teresa Freeman, sec
retary.

Sanne Jones can certainly be described as a *^}ack-of-^l-
trades.” Whether she is working on a Studertt Council project
or as she is seen here tackling a tough English, assignmerd,
you can be sure that she will not quit until the job is well
done. Her exhibition of outstanding characteristics merited
Sanne the honor of being chosen the D.A.R. Good Citizen of
the year.
Sanne Jones, one of our out
standing seniors, has added another
honor to her collection of awards.
In October, 1968, Saime was named
the DAR Good Citizen of the Year.
The recipient of this award, which
so sponsored by the Daughters of
the American Revolution, was chos
en by her Senior Classmates.
There are several characteristes
upon which the honor is based. First,
tne student must have a hi^ scho
lastic standing. Second, the person

punctuality. A third characteristic

portunity to talk with representa

nursing schools, and four technical
schools. The evening was divided
into four sections each lasting thirty
minutes. Students and parents,
loaded with pamphlets and ques
tions, filled the halls and classrooms,
taking in as much as they possibly
could.
Our thanks go to Mrs. HoweU
and Mrs. Mullen for a well-planned
evening.
The authors then participated in
informal chats with the approxi

to a second half-floor which houses
all but reference books. The whole
school plant was open for touring.

activities, at which the speaker was
