Dance Band Beachwood's dance band did not limit itself to simple playing popular music. Under the direc- tion of Mr. Alex Shapiro, the band members learned how to copy music, write jazz, and improvise. Another innovation by the dance band was an exchange pro- gram with other members of the SOWMaC Student Council. Throughout the year the band played at assemblies at other SOWMaC schools as well as at Beachwood. To add pep to some of the home basketball games, some of the members of the band formed a SEATED: Bill Waldman, Ronald Barron, Robert Baker, John Lieberman.

Spanish Club Next best to visiting Spain were the projects undertaken by the Spanish Club. Composed of second year Spanish students, the club met every other week in the home of one of the members with the assistance of its ad- visor, Miss Mills. Since the members were interested in the culture of Spain as well as its language, they obtained slides and movies about Mexico and Spain including one movie about bullfighting. In addition they engaged various speakers and planned Spanish dances. One of the highlights of the year was a special dinner, for which the girls prepared an all-Spanish cuisine.

National Honor Society SEATED: Laura Huber, Barbara Falcon, Jeri Silverman, Toby Rutman. STANDING: David Marsh, Gary Weiner, Alan Brotman, Gerald Fishman, Mr. Robert Dober Qadvisorl. Merle Rabine. Latin CI As recognition for scholastic excel- lence, nine seniors were initiated as char- ter members of the National Honor Society The official charter received by Beach- wood granted the school the opportunity to organize this club with the purpose of of- fering leadership and direction to the stu- dent body. One important achievement of the Honor Society was the instituting of an an- nual college program in which alumni of ' the school return to discuss their college experiences with the juniors and seniors. In this way the students will gain valuable information that will help them in the choice that they will have to make. The club also worked with the student council on various projects. Led by President Gary Weiner, Vice- president Dave Marsh, Secretary Barb Fal- con, and faculty advisor Mr. Robert Dober, the National Honor Society worked dili- gently to achieve its goals. ub Reading current events and laughing at jokes written in Latin were not only new experiences to the members of the Latin Club, but also proved that Latin is not a dead language. To supplement regular classroom work, the Latin Department joined the National Latin Club and the Junior Classical League, which publish several magazines written in the classic language of the ancient Romans. In order to pay for these memberships, the Latin Club sponsored a dance, the Roman Rock, in late October of last year. Although no actual meetings were held, all students studied Latin belonged to the club and were given the op- portunity to read the literature which was sent to the school twice a month.
