L l Lf Spanish Club This year, the Spanish Club was a small, in- formal group of students who worked to keep the club as it was -small and informal. They held meetings one to two times a month where they discussed future proiects, sat together and conversed in Spanish and served refreshments. Meetings were always held in private homes, keeping the atmos- phere warm and friendly. The elements seemed to be against the Spanish Club as their Spanish Dinner was cancelled because of a snowstorm. Officers Candace Mackay, president, Judy Hinman, vice-president, and Carol Hemke, sec-treasurer, worked together with Mr. Mel- vin Light, adviser, to make this year's Span- ish Club a success.
