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.

New li ht table, correspondents, Newspaper is not a typical aca- demic atmosphere. Instead a student finds daily excitement while covering important events, persons. and places through words and pictures. It takes a special type of student, who doesn't have to be told what to do every minute in class. said Publications Advisor Bert Reynolds. Students can join newspaper by being a good writer, an artist. or a pho- tographer. They should also have good grades and writing. and be a serious individual with ambition and creative ideas. according to Mrs. Reynolds. In the future, the Prospectus Staff hopes to add more cameras and use color pictures in the newspaper. Changes included: the addition of a darkroom and a new printer. Sims Printing. Phoenix.
