B.C.H.S. students have gone all out for square dancing and we can't say we blame them. The membership of this club has been steadily growing, and this Year it is even bigger and better than ever.

ak SPA ISH lllllli Darleen Whitney, President Teresa Cuatrecasas, Vice-President George Egly, Secretary-Treasurer Miss Symon, Sponsor J What does the term Latin America suggest to you? ls it some vague territory south of the border, where people wear sombreros and serapes, and sit under cactus plants strumming guitars. lf this is true ot your knowledge of our spanish - speaking neighbors, you are probably not an active member of the Spanish Club. Just as we broaden our understanding of the ideals and foundation of America through our study of United States history, so do we broaden our knowledge of the culture of our neighbors to the south through the study of their language. With un- derstanding come friendliness and tolerance. The members of the Spanish Club have al- ready gained an experience in hands across the border by their interest and response to the activities ot their club.
