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.

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.

Sadr, Where did you learn to cook and sew? Where did you get such bright ideas for fix- ing your home? In the future these Will be just a few questions asked of the girls who attended juco home economics classes. In foods, clothing, designing, and home furnishing courses a practical study plan was given to help the girls in their everyday prob- lems. They planned menues and served din- ners, made dresses, cut out patterns, and de- signed their own dresses. House plans were made and the cost of furnishing these homes was studied. These are just samples of the home economics projects. Miss Faye Dennis was the foods, clothing, and elementary designing instructor. Mrs. O. R. Trapp was the home furnishing instructor. Of course some hats worn by women look-- well-er--somewhat comical, but when you come right down to the subject of strange headgear, we think the mortar-boards worn by the graduates, sweet and otherwise, do no credit to all the education the wearers are supposed to have acquired.
