Al comenzar el ano Teresa Compere tuvo en su casa una fiesta mexicana para entretener a los miembros del clubg hubo juegos y una cornida de tacos, enchiladas, y una imitacion a sangria. En esta reunion hicimos planes preparatorios para el Banquete de las Lenguas en Navidad. Los miernbros participaron mucho en el banquete - algunos prepararon comidas espanolas, otros bailaron un baile mexicano y todos cantaron villancicos de Navidad en espanol. Otra actividad ha sido una lectura sobre Guate- mala dada por el senor Richard Bagwell en la casa de Hanley Testerman. La senora Arza, nuestra profesora de espanol, de Cuba, como siernpre, contribuyo mucho en esta reunion. Hemos tenido mucha suerte teniendola como profesora y patro-cinadora porque su influencia hispanoamericana ha ayudado a hacer este ano excitante para los miembros del Club de Espanol. ,. .,..M.,......................, ACTIVITIES 93

After a year of bake sales and preparatory sessions, thirty-two students, Mrs. Fisher and Mrs. Trent, and various art objects departed for Memphis in high spirits and a school bus. The sun god Apollo beamed down on the expedition not at all unkindly. Several stops, one at the Parthenon in Nashville, interrupted the journey. Having reached Memphis, part were intent on food, part on sleep. The next morning the Webb delegation set out for Memphis State University. . Several students struggled in the Olympics, Creative Arts, and Academics. Cherry Hill and Gary Jones and . Bill Brakebill and several others competed favorably in the Olympics. Chip Denton led the Creative Artists. The Fates were with us and placed third in costume compe- tition. Jay Newlon received two firsts, one for dramatic interpretation and one for costume. Consul Overall also placed with his poem and essay. Our Certamen team expired gracefully after confronting a one-man team from Pearl. In Academic competition, forty-three rib- bons were spread through the levels of Latin like stars on a moonless night. Valois Shea, Melissa McCoy, Amy Deeds, LEO, and Scott Overall shone in this division. For some schools it is easy, not so easy for us. Despite a few minor problems - lost students, missing keys, the death of the bus engine - Mr. Brewster pulled us through and the Webb JCLers arrived triumphant in Knoxville. ' - ij, nj
