Spanish Club Gains Popularity Mexico has economically fallen but El Dorado Spanish Club is on the rise. Economically the Spanish club gained by selling Candy-Grams to help pay for their trip to Ol- vera Street. The club went first class, the Amtrak Way, to this famous Mexican street in Los Angeles. They toured the street and ate at the El Paseo Inn. Member Carol Gilbert stated It was exciting; I had a great time. The Spanish club president, Lori Marek, waits to announce the next activity.

The six students and coach, Joy Appleby, spent many an hour studying to spend the day, Satur- day, the 23rd of October. Ten tests were admin- istered, dealing with every subject most students tried to avoid during school hours. The team con- sisted of six students, two from each G.P.A Joe Greenlaw and Winnie Wong, with a G P A of 3. 75 to 4 00 were the Honors students, Pat Galvin and Kathy Klinge were the Scholastic students with a G P A of 3.00 to 3 74, and Tom Trerise and Kata Conlon made up the Varsity section with a G P A below 2 99. Three of these were honored with medals for outstanding perfor- mance. Honor student. Winnie Wong, tool third in speech. Varsity Tom Trerise got a second place in the essay, and Kata Conlon a second place in mathematics. Can you believe that honors student Winnie Wong would actually assoicate with Varsity Kata Conlon? In a daze, Pat Galvin ponders over what to do with the hand stuck to the wall. 1 Kothy Klinge can ' t believe that the ten tests were taken yesterday and that she can forget about HousingM The 1982-83 Academic Decathelon Team, Coach Joy Appleby, Kathy Klinge, Winnie Wong, Joe Greenlaw, Kata Conlon, Tom Trerise, and Pat Galvin.

May be a question you would hear in Frencti classes but you would detinitely not hear it in the French Club. The club centers around the French culture not the language. The club was involved in many cul- tural activities this year such as the Mardi Gras picnic and the planning of hot chocolate sales. The French club also teamed up with the Spanish club for an international dinner. A wide vari- ety of food was brought in from all different countries. The foods were mighty tasty, remarked Michelle Bradach. The athletically inclined members competed against the Spanish club in football games. Ken Wong is enthused by a group activ- ity Madeline ChltJIan making her week fit around the club activities. French Club 209
