ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION The Athletic Association, under the direction of Miss Constantini, endeavors to form well-rounded personalities by teaching its members how to compete in games with a true Christian spirit. Fall brings our newest outdoor sport, speedball, followed by basket- ball and the aches and pains of calisthenics during the winter. Spring ushers in softball, badminton, and tennis. Through these activities, we learn that co-operation, sportsman- ship, and school spirit invariably lead to victory. The Faculty-Student game and Blue- White games are just a few of the events on the AA calendar enjoyedathis year.

SPANISH CLUBS The Spanish Clubs at Lauralton fill that special need for a broader knowledge of Spain - its customs and its people. Clubs are formed in different classrooms where students are interested, and meetings are held during class time once a month. Some of the C1ub's varied activities include the singing of Spanish songs, the presenting of plays and films, and the playing of Spanish games. Not only does the Span- ish Club give pleasure, but also it affords the novice at Spanish an opportunity to enrich her vocabulary and to further comprehension through conversation. OFFICERS: Carol Ugolik, Secretaryg Betty Anne Turco, President. FRENCH CLUB Those interested in la langue francaise have ample op- portunity to supplement class activities through the French Club. The aim of the club is to enrich the cultural back- ground of its members and to offer further occasions for aural-oral practice in the foreign tongue. Monthly meetsings are held after school once a month for juniors and seniors interested in French. French songs, folk dances, plays, games, and records all help to stimulate interest in and enjoyment of the language. QFFICERS: Judi Perisky, Treasurerg Martha Sullivan, Vice-Pres- identg Cathy McGee, Secretary, Pat Dargon, President. LATIN CLUB A Latin fashion show, a play based on a classical theme, and a Roman banquet - all are activities enjoyed by the members of Lauralton Hall's two Latin Clubs. The junior group consists of interested sophomore Latin students, who meet once a month after school. The .senior group, the Vifgilian Forum, meets during class time, and is open to third and fourth year students. Both groups aim to gain a more thorough knowledge of Roman life, customs, and languageg to understand better the practical and cultural values of Lating and to interest fellow students therein. Through their various projects, Latin students find the realization of these aims fun and almost painless! OFFICERS: Pauline Gravel, Presidentg Barbara Kennedy, Vice- President, Miss M.
