pride, hard work, and sharing The largest and certainly one of the busiest groups on campus, the Pan American Club boasted a calendar packed with activities. Their Christmas show featured dances from Mexico, Hawail, Cuba, and Puerto Rico, plus poetry in Spanish. The Valentine’s Dance scored a first with not one, but two, live bands to provide music. A main attraction on the PTA Founder’s Day obser- vance was an excellent dance program presented by the club. Next came the big Cinco de Mayo carnival and Show, followed by a Spanish play commemorating Mexi- can Mother’s Day. To celebrate their successful year in the proper style, club members journeyed to Magic Mountain for a day of fun, relaxation, and good fellowship. First semester officers were Judah Ramirez, presi- dent; Donato Sanchez, vice president; Consuelo Yepez, secretary. Sanchez took over the presidency the second term, aided by Rosa Benitez, vice president; and Irlanda Benitez, secretary. Reviewing the year’s activities, President Sanchez said, ‘‘We take pride in doing things well and in pre- serving our cultural heritage. “It has been a good year, and I wish to thank all the members for their efforts. Special thanks to Mrs. Mar- gie Johnson for being such a good sponsor.” Pan American Club 55

Club members listen intently as President Donato Sanchez (3) reviews the schedule of events. Even the nursery school crowd gets into the act. It’s quite apparent that Rosa Benitez and Gabriel Martinez(4) liked the dance! Patty Guillen (5) is all heart as she beckons Carlos to join her.
