DISCUSSION CLUB . . . Wherever there are people, there is a point of view, a discussion, a debate. Throughout the world, people discuss almost anything that ever happens. We too, discuss the affairs of living, both on the national and international scale, and in our everyday lives, at our Discussion Club meetings. Bob Donofrio and Mary Mayr, part of the battling forces of this club, have aided and led many discussions on such matters as Segregation in the South, Teen-age Problems, and Rock Rivalry, Good or Bad. Though no solutions are reached at the meetings, the experience of formulating and expressing opinions and ideas shall prove very helpful as we go and take an active part in the affairs of the World.

EL CIRCULO ESPANOL . . . Como esta usted? Hola! These are only a few of the greetings heard at meetings of the Spanish Club. Formed to promote an interest in the Spanish language and culture extending beyond the classroom. The members of the Spanish Club sing songs and learn Spanish dances. Through the outside contact with the language and Spanish-speaking coun- tries, Spanish students have learned that there is more to a language than the grammar and the verb conjugations. There is a great deal of culture which may help each person later on in his life. Seniors active in this club are: Patricia Pick, Philip Schlesier, and Maria Sepcich. LIBRARY COUNCIL . . .
