We Set A Few Precedents . school. The other meetings were held either before or after school. For some reason more members were present dur- ing school than any other time. I felt that we could have had more participation within the club, said Carmine Plott. But I really am proud of the club as a whole. We brought new projects forth and carried them out successfully. We set a few precedents this year, and I hope they will stay around for a while.” Another one of the more active groups was the Spanish Club. I feel like we had an exceptionally good year, said Kathy Bess, Spanish Club President. Everyone seemed to have a good time at the Mardi Gras, the traditional Spanish dance. The band was good, and the atmosphere was great for a dance. The Mardi Gras is the main project of the Spanish Club each year. Tracey Leet and Lora Fawley were voted King and Queen of the Mardi Gras this year by the Spanish students. The Spanish Club also held the formal and informal initiation for new members. At the formal and initiation, new members had to eat strange Spanish food and do crazy things, such as act out an animal. For the informal initiation they had to dress up like Spanish people and wear the costume through the whole school day. One covered dish supper was held this year. One improvement I think the club needs to make is to have more covered dish suppers, continued Kathy Bess. The suppers tend to bring the Spanish students together and give them a chance to try and practice the language. The Ms. Jayteens was another active club this year. Led by President Randa Fenderson, the club worked on communi- ty projects such as the Thanksgiving Party for retarded children, the Christmas TOP: Carmine Plott helps decorate for the Christmas Formal.
