CIEEI ll-ll Il Illll.-KNGE AND liROXVXl ll ll-H IBIECIP EH Parlannohin VVENTY-SIX active members and an able sponsor, Miss Pearson, have made this year a most successful one for the El Parlanchin, The purpose of the club is to stimulate the interest of the students in modern languages and to help create an atmosphere of Spanish customs, so that the students may become more familiar with the way in which the language is used in Spain itself. The requirements for membership are an average grade of G and an active interest in the club. ln their first meeting in September they elected the following members as officers: Burl Kessinger, majo superiorg Pauline Fengel, escritorg .Xileen Hall, guardian de los simoleones, and Lucile Rogers, festi ja dora. Their pin represents a small Spanish sombrero and the guards a guitar which is symbolie of the Spanish customs. The Til ljarchanchin meets every regular club night and at these meet- ings, Spanish is spoken, talks on different phases of Spanish life are given, and games and songs which correspond to those in the old country are played and sung. The social program of the year included a fall initiation party, Christmas banquet, a progressive tour and a spring picnic. The first was held at the home of Pauline Ifengel on October 29. At this meeting a number of Spanish students were initiated and became members of the club. The second social event, the Christmas banquet, was held at the Abilene Club on December 17. The program included Spanish songs, dances, refreshments and gifts from the lighted Christmas tree. gl-3734 U qi Il ll 0 2 Sl II Il II IEIE-:Cv Page Seventy-two ia
