tudents free chained ener overoomin inhibitions to excell Speaking through speech class can increase your self confidence and the ability to communicate with your friends effectively, said Speech Coach Sara Cannon. Often a student with a speech impairment feels that he cannot com- municate. giving himself the opportu- nity to withdraw. out of sight. unheard. unremembered. From the point of view of someone who enjoys talking. Ms. Cannon. related her feelings: taking a speech class would aid this individual in improving his skills. Before he could compete he would have to develop con- fidence. much more important than competing is to increase this person's self image and to make them realize that they can speak as well as anyone else. Speech should not be considered within the confines of the Fine Arts Department for the simple reason that it is not a special talent. Speech is an acquired skill that we all have 'the potential of excelling in. stated Ms. Cannon, ln answers to her plans for next year's Speech Team. she replied that she has only the desire to get more peo- ple involved. by allowing them to use their own initiative. l'm very pleased that the Adminis- tration of our school gives the Speech Team the proper amount of support and attention by placing the incentive with the student to excellf' concluded Ms. Cannon.

Bake sa es, car washes, raffles build funds for Spanish trip Hasta La Vistal. said Spanish Club members as they left for Mexico last year. We had a terrific time together on our trip to Mexico City. said Mrs. Kathy Backalucas. Spanish Club advisor. Starting out the new year the club elected officers and they included, Presi- dent, Gloira Perezg Vice-President: Laurie Weiskotten, and Secretary-Treasurer, Ingrid Schariff. Eighteen members make up the club, and it's the most active of all of themf' said Miss Perez. Raising money through dances, serving dinners at Elvira's Restaurant, raffles, car washes. concessions, and doughnuts pro- duced revenue for the Spanish Club. The majority of the members are very responsible. This makes it a pleasure to work with the group. said Mrs. Backalu- cas. Spirit badges were next on the list for money raisers. Our booth at the Drama Club's Carnival helped a little. according to Miss Perez. No qualifications are required to join the club and one doesn't have to speak Spanish. Every year the club tries to raise money to go on a trip to Mexico. You get involved in Spanish culture. That's why I like it. said Miss Perez. With Mrs. Back- alucas as our advisor, she helps and guides the club. The Spanish Club is getting bet- ter every year. Maybe next year more of the club will be Spanish, said Miss Perez. - April Graffia li BEING A PART of the Spanish Club is a lot of fun. the members are hard-working and nice people.
