Spanish Club Seeks Culture The Spanish Club of A.U.H.S. is a club for students enrolled in a Spanish class. Its activities are designed to stimulate students interest in the culture of the Spanish speaking people of the world. It’s two main activities this year were making and selling empanadas which are a traditional pastry of the southwest, and a field trip to San Diego and Tijuana, Baja California Norte. There the club visited the San Diego Mission, several chapels, and two historic Spanish houses. Blasa Martinez, the Spanish Club president, said, “Being in the Spanish Club is fun. We go on trips and learn about a lot of things. It’s never the same thing.” SPANISH CLUB: Front row: Ana Espinoza, Alma Gonzalez, and Yolanda Gonzalez. Second row: Blasa Martinez. Benito Juarez.

BOOSTERS HAVE A GOOD TIME What had 56 hands and feet plus 28 screaming mouths? The Pep Club- a club to promote school spirit helped our teams by supporting them during games. Maria Icedo was asked if she had a good time and replied, “Ya, because I like to be noisy, especially when there are games.” Claudia Reyes, secretary, was asked the same question and answered, “You get involved, and get a lot of spirit in school. She also remarked, “The Pep Club needs more spirit but is doing a better job than it has in the past years.” So those 28 mouths that cheered our players were doing their job. They supported and promoted school spirit. They even learned the fight song at Miss Lugo’s call. PEP CLUB Left (top to bottom): Misty Smith. Lau rie Lopez. Timberly Smith. Angela Lawler. Emma Young.

Staff Meets Deadlines Sophomores, Felipe Torres and Nora Amavisca. were elected Desert Sands King and Queen when the sophomore class bought 38 yearbooks during the Desert Sands yearbook sales campaign December 15-January 7. Sponsoring the Desert Sands King and Queen contest is just one of the things that staff members do to create interest in the yearbook. They also write copy for the yearbook which entails interviews, collecting facts, and endless rewrites Staffers take, print, and select photographs from yearly activities, draw layouts, and endlessly try to figure out what it is that should be remembered. Finally, they are responsible for the job of raising funds through ad sales, yearbook sales, and often smaller fund raising activities. They cannot take their time doing these duties though They are given deadly DEADLINES!
