This was begun at a dinner at Los Corrales restaurant Oc- tober 7, and by playing Spanish games throughout the year. All members were very glad to get the new Spanish Club pins which came during the first semester. Christmas was celebrated by having two Christmas plays, by breaking the pinata, and by singing O Little Town of Bethlehem and HO Come All Ye Faithful in Spanish. A Christmas story was also read in Spanish, then translated to English for the benefit of the newer members, During the second semester, the club helped to promote the foreign exchange program by selling shares of stock.
