The Spice Of Life How often do Burns stu- dents come in contact with genuine Mexicans? Rarely, however, the members of the Spanish club had the unique opportunity of hearing a Mariachi band that was imported straight from Mexico. The club took a field trip to Pedro's in Charlotte and while they were expecting an au- thentic Spanish meal, they were pleasantly sur- prised as they received a seranade from the band that was on a six week trial tour. The trip was part of the club's celebration of National Week of the Spanish Language (Octo- ber 12-16). Other projects during this week were hidden treasures and puzzles that could win tickets to ballgames if worked correctly. Enriching their lives by studying the culture of their Spanish couter- parts the Spanish Club brings a little ‘‘gusto”’ a SPANISH CLUB: BOTTOM ROW: Marty Gee, Lisa Coleman, Trisha Brewer — vice-president, Lynn Brackett, Karen Southard, Don- na McSwain, Alenia Church, Kim Bridges, Mary Martin, Lisa Lack- ey, Lisa Lyons, Barry Bingham.

C’est Meilleur en Francais One of the central events for the French Club around Valentines Day was the annual ‘‘Loving Couples Contest,” done in effort to raise money for the club's scholarship fund. Most of the competitors didn't think about that though, as they and their friends contributed ‘‘votes”’ to their particular categories. Votes were a penny each, so the couple with the most money at the end of the voting was declared the winner. The nine cate- gories included: ‘Cutest’, ‘“Best-Looking’’, ‘‘Wit- tiest’’, ‘‘Most Outgoing”, ‘‘Most-Compatible’’, ‘‘Oddest’’, ‘‘Most- Intelligent’, ‘‘Most Talka- tive’, and ‘‘Most Likely to Succeed”. With all the par- ticipants having such heal- thy competitive spirits, Loving Couples Contest was a success, making approximately $115.00. The National French Honor Society also contri- buted funds for the French Scholarship. The members Of the NFHS raised $300.00 with a doughnut sale. Other fund-raising efforts included three car- washes, prices ranging from $3.00 to $5.00 de- pending upon interior and exterior cleaning. Boys were not the only Ones to show their strength in weightlifting. Girls too participated in a weightlifting contest, and did pretty well. The money raised went to the United Campaign Fund. 102 : i Po Pe et Med At the Iron Bar Gym, sopho- more Angie Scism presses weight on the Universal Machine, while Raymond Curry records it.
