The club's activities included celebrating several Spanish holidays such as Guadalupe Day, which is the celebration that opens the Christmas season. At such parties many of the customs of the Spanish- speaking countries were used to acquaint participants with the people's way of life. Officers of the club were Ann Farnsworth, presi- dent, Deborah Johnson, vice-president, Faye Riddle- hoover, secretaryg and Mark Barnett, treasurer. Mrs. Mary Ann Lane, Miss Marion Reid, and Miss Linda Holt, sponsors of the Spanish club, worked with the officers to insure an excellent program of events.
