1RS. ELIZABETH STONE and her French class try to prove the words ot CHECKING THE MENUS ot the Spanish tood palaces in n Franklin to be true: Everyone has two countries-his own and France. Tampa's Ybor City are Linda Haynes, Oliver West, David SPUTNIK SPARKED a renewal of interest in the sciences and math, it's true. But languages, too, came in for increased enroll- ment of these boys and girls who see a crying need for broader understanding of people who speak other tongues. Reading even a little and speaking even a little the words that other countries use increases interest in their people, problems, and cultures. Hodie Heriquen which means today and tomorrow may be Jenkins, and Sharon Rogers. the watch word for the modern lingos, but it came from the mother tongue, Latin. That so-called dead language furnishes new words day by day to the science world. Chamberlain has definite plans to' add a new language study next year-Russian. We hope to reciprocate-they study us, we'll study them. Pan American Club Studies Culture of Cther Countries REVOLUTION!! Yes, these things are always happening, and sometimes they cannot be avoided, but strengthening of inter- national relations can bring harmony to nations to prevent upris- ings between nations. The Pan-American Club of Chamberlain has just this aim in mind. The objective of this organization. is to promote good fellowship and understanding between the people of our country and the Latin American countries by working for an understanding of the culture of our Latin American neighbors and adopting pen pals. It is not necessary to be a member of a Spanish class to become a member, but one must have a good scholastic average and have an interest in Spanish culture. This year the Pan-American Club was the winner of the Ki- wanette-sponsored food drive for Thanksgiving, and was treated to a coke party. The club spent a gala day in Tampa's Latin Quar- ter and visited one of our famous Spanish restaurants for lunch. Tampais large Latin Quarter offers excellent field for study in language, customs, and cultures of our newcomers from the sunny southern part of Europe, PAN-AMERICAN CLUB: First row: Diana Farina, Norma Jean Payne, Jean DeCarlo, Judy Weaver, Ray Charlton, Mary Ann Worthy, Randy Barnes.

And work it is in all three of the foreign language courses offered at CHS.

Annual Banquet Une of Many Events of Latin Club USAPERE AUDEU ought to be the motto for Chamberlain's Latin Club, for the students in this club have to 'dare to be wise'. Taking one of the two Latin courses offered this year, these students show enough interest in the cultural aspects of the sub- ject and spend extra time planning activities for the enjoyment and accomplishment of all. Any student taking one of the courses automatically becomes a member of the club, but active members attend meetings, func- tions, and help in the planning of the annual trip' to Ringling Art Museum in Sarasota, and annual Latin Club Roman Banquet.
