lubs ultivate ulture Latin and Spanish stu- dents learned about their own cultures. They studied the country that they were involved with and ex- changed ideas with other in- terested students. Sponsor Mrs. Idarraga added a new dimension to the club by teaching the stu- dents more about the his- panic culture which she ex- perienced firsthand in Co- lombia. President Melissa Celaya stated, “The main purpose of the Spanish club was to expose the culture to students who may not have had a chance to experience it first hand.” The purpose of the Latin club was to understand Lat- in and Greek civilizations. Members were involved in the JCL which was an orga- nization that helped the stu- dents become more familiar with Latin. JCL experience developed responsibility, fostered brotherhood, en- couraged competition, and enriched their total growth in the language. As a result of being in- volved, club members were able to grow closer to under- standing and appreciating cultures other than their own. ampus Activities
