ln a Latin Club ceremony, members light candles symbolic of the four levels of study: Latin l, ll, ln, and IV. Latin Club ROMA, the Latin Club, ac- quaints students with the civili- zations of Greece and Rome and helps them understand and ap- preciate the influence of these cultures on the world of today. One way in which this objective is fulfilled is by the presen- tation of programs dealing with all phases of classical civili- zations. ROMA, which opens its membership to any student study- ing the Latin language, also is a chapter of the nationwide Junior Classical League. This year the club's annual trip was made to the Roman Festival, which was sponsored by the Classical As- sociation of Philadelphia. ROMA gives students an opportunity to gain a broad background and understanding of the nature of Greek and Roman civilizations. Language Clubs Strive for Crreatei Spanish Club The Spanish Club, under the direction of Mrs. Georgia Dobbs, is open to any student who is cur- rently studying the Spanish lan- guageand is interested in learn- ing more about the customs of Spanish-speaking countries. Each week members of the club present programs in the form of films or talks about Spanish cus- toms, games, and songs. Every year the club supports an orphan with money received from vari- ous activities. All students taking Spanish are invited to attend the Spanish Club Banquet, a festive event which features a delicious Spanish meal, entertainment, and a guest speaker. Throughout the year all activities of the Spanish Club aim to increase students' knowledge of Spanish ways and customs. Tom Bair models a Mexican sombrero for fellow Spanish Club members.
