 PANOL CORONADO The Spanish Club has a long history of being one of the larg- est, most involved clubs Coronado students may participate in. Over the course of the year, the Span- ish Club organizes a wide variety of Hispanic cultural activities for club members to enjoy. The first and foremost of these events is the Christmas Posada. This Spanish tradition dates back thousands of years to the Virgin Mary and Jo- seph as they search for lodging on the eve of December 25th. The next annual project the Spanish Club organizes is called a “taco-taste . This greeat success was held at Sonia Calderonc’s house. Different ingredients of a taco were brought from various students. From here they put to- gether their own tacos and en- joyed the final product. It was alot of fun and it also gave me a chance to meet the other mem- bers of the club,” said club mem- ber Willie Arriaga. Perhaps one of the most suc- cessful fund raising projects the Spanish Club undertakes is the sale of Homecoming corsages. This was organized by Mrs. Brooks, the club sponsor,Mrs. Morales, and Sandra Manriquez, the club president. Being that nearly every couple who at- tended the Homecoming game purchased a corsage, this project was quite profitable as well as a good opportunity to get involved in the Spanish Club. The purpose of the Spanish Club is to expand the knowledge of the Hispanic culture for those students who are interested . Due to the wide variety of experiences the club offers, it is very success- ful in fulfilling this objective. J. Kelly Front Row- Dod Guevarra, Stacey Crumley, Allyson Pollard.
