Two-m em ber club instructs Spanish classes Learning the Mexican hat dance? That's not exactly how S. Mary and her two Spanish Club members spent their time. S. Mary taught her girls the vocabulary of the Spanish people through various vocabulary games. They listened to records, tried out dances and previewed plays. They even tried to put on a play of their own in Spanish. With such a small club, the members taught what they learned to S. Mary's Spanish classes. What could a Spanish Club do for Neo-Renaissance Week? Well, they came up with the idea of an international food sale. Baking Cuban cookies, Mexican Kisses, and tacos, the girls also planned on singing Spanish songs to Serenade anyone who bought their delicacies. Giving it a final touch, they planned to dress in Spanish costume. Flamenco dancers also came into the school to give the girls some idea of how to do different dances which originated in Spain.

French play, C hrislmas dinner highlight year for club members With thirty-five enthusiastic language students, meeting every other week and a teacher or two, you have the basics of the French Club. The club was made up entirely of sophomores until Ruth Diago, Brazilian exchange student, joined later in the year. Led by Reenie Marrinan, with Mrs. Smith for supervision they learned more about the French people by experiencing some customs of France. They celebrated Christmas French-style with refreshments of Napoleons, crackers with cheese and catawba wine. One group acted out T he Night Before Christmasw narrated in French, of course! In April, to support their treasury which had dwindled with the purchase of club pins, they put on a style show sponsored by Drewls and a school dance featuring The Reasons. Miss Chickett, subbing for Mrs. Smith, helped with these fourth quarter activities. TOP: Just to prove that even Murray is up on the newest styles, many girls sported hot pants for the French Club's spring dance featuring The Reasons.

'Raindrops on Roses' exhibits latest fashions Latin, an interest in Greek and Roman life, plus enthusiasm, equal the average Classics Club member. At least enthusiasm they all had. Freshmen were initiated at their annual Christmas Party, and the Asenbrenner children were honorary members. This summer it's Oklahoma City and the national JCL meet. A spring jewelry sale was this year's means for the money. To sample Roman life, elect state officers and even take mythology tests, girls went to Bethlehem to attend the state convention. A snowy night provided a good excuse for pizza. Only the attendance could have been better. Their style show sRaindrops on Roses' displayed the latest fashions from Nina Boutique and the Village Green. With the profits, a spring dinner at Hafner's ended an active year for Classic Club members. ABOVE LEFT: Modeling a peasant dress for 'Raindrops on Roses' is Mary Jo Pritschet.
