Initiation week found us dressed in our club colors, red and yellow, and with hair in pig tails and pin curls. Every member was required to learn the motto — “Pray God but keep hammering.” With our motto in mind, we pursued our Spanish lessons in class. All of the members participated in the meetings held twice each month in the library. Program committees had charge of the meetings, who chose for our term project a study of the Spanish American countries — their history, culture, government and customs. Aside from the fact that membership in Los Conquistadores has afforded all of us many happy hours, we feel that it has given us a broader understanding of our Spanish neighbors and will enable us to use the language to a greater advantage.
