The junior college's newest language or- ganization, the Sparnish club, completed a successful year this spring. Because of the current interest in South America, Spanish was offered in the junior college for the first time this year.

Donald Ecroyd was president, and Edwina Crane succeeded Elaine Shaw as vice presi- dent and program chairman the second sem- ester. Betty Lou Barnes served as secretary- treasurer and Wanda Watkins as reporter. Juco students who had taken Spanish dur- ing high school were eligible for the club as well as those who were enrolled in the course. In the various meetings held in the college clubrooms, different students brought many interesting reports on Spanish life in the Southwestern United States and Mexico. At one meeting, Miss Hawley told of her experiences in Merida, Yucatan. Spanish games such as pinata and ucanasta de fru- tas were enjoyed by members of the club. These games gave an idea of Spanish cus- toms, and helped students increase their Spanish vocabularies. Members of the cub bought copies of Can- ciones Popularesf' a book of popular songs,'f and sang them at the meetings. All monthly Spanish club meetings supplemented the re- gular Spanish class in stressing Latin-Amer- ican customs and manners in connection with the Spanish langauge. mmm Glad The juco German club sponsored by Miss Anne Hawley, German instructor, Was the largest of any language club in ACJC.

Swing 91, Q'uJa.f Under the capable leadership of Miss Edith Joyce Davis, five juco girls have learned this past semester when to step and when to sway with music. The course was planned to give self-ex- pression through rhythmic movements. It also attempted to improve the bodily mech- anics of each student. With the thought foremost in their minds of not tolerating swaying trunks and sag- ging shoulders, the girls improved their muscles for good structure. This work was difficult and strenuousg therefore, music was provided to make the work more enjoyable. Class members were Audrey Russell, Vir- ginia Sherwood, Wanda Watkins, Mary Ruth Helms, and Annagene Heathman. The annual Spring Prom this year used a method of former years of inviting seniors from near-by towns. The formal dance was the big social event of the year, carrying out a nautical theme. Card tables were provided for those who did not care to dance, but dancing was the high light of the evenifng's entertainment. They danced to the music of Bonner Ruff's band. The social committee and student council to whom the credit goes for the success of the event consisted of Betty Wise, chairman, George Sybrant, Dorothy Moody, John Ruck- el. Edwina Crane, Neidra Waltz, Ahniwake Miller, Jasper DeVore, Bill Ledeker, Jean Peck, Don Ecroyd, and Bob Morgan. Guests for the evening were the high school and junior college faculty, board of education, seniors from Arkansas City and Winfield, Chilocco, South Haven, Wellington, Gueda Springs, Oxford, Atlanta, Burden, Cambridge, Dexter, and Cedarvale. Then there's a Scotchman who took his son out of school because he had to pay attention. Speech 862114 Pham N!! Wdh Play This Genius Business, a three act come- dy by Edna Higgins Strachan, was presented by the junior college speech class April 24 in the high school auditorium. This was the annual appearance of the public speaking class under the direction of Miss Pauline Sleeth, junior college speech instructor. The plot was that of a modern family with two live-Wire children. Because Aline Blodgett sacrificed a successful career to marry George Blodgett, she hoped to realize in her two children some of her own thwart- ed hopes. After showing all the humorous sit- uations which arose, Mrs. Blodgett's hopes were crushed and she returned to her hus- band whom she had left earlier in the play. Florine Turman played the role of the mother and Jasper Devore characterized the easy-going, lovable father. Bill Ledeker play- ed the part of Beaumont Blodgett, the All- American. Betty Wise portrayed the pliable, naive daughter, Aida. John Ruckle took the part of the young Dr. Oliver who became the love interest of Aida. Neidra Waltz played the role of Katie, Blodgetts' maid who had a beautiful natural singing voice. Ahnriwake Miller played Albertina, a young matron friend of Aida. Rita, an actress friend of Mrs. Blodgett, was portrayed by Maybelle Huff- man. Business managers were student council members. Pat Mingle was property mana- ger. Stage managers were Junior Weekley and Julius Rader. Others assisting were Hel- en Voorhis and Dorothy Melick. Luther E. Parmam loaned the furniture, and Moncrief's sent flowers. The orchestra was directed by J. J. Dalke. Modern girl's line: I'm not fickle, it's just that I want to have more than two or three men fighting for my defense. The war will be over soon if Burton will only be called into action, because in all his life he's never held a job over six months.
