Spafffslf ww expands 'O started the Spanish Club so students could learn to asso- ciate with one another about the Spanish Culture, said sponsor Ramon Munguia. The Spanish Club has been active for three years. Meetings were held on the first and third Mondays of each month. Speakers from Costa Rica, Paraguay, and Panama attended some of their classes. We also discuss some fund raisers, upcoming trips, and parties at meet- ings said sophomore Eve- lyn Lutz. One of the highlights of the year proved to be the trip to Wichita February 22. The group went shopping at the Towne West Mall, at- tended a Methodist Church service conducted in Span- ish, and went to Chi Chi's. lt was a lot of fun. We shopped for two hours and had a good time. Church was quite an experience, al- though it was hard to under- stand, senior Trina Fuller said. One of their fund raisers was a bake sale held De- cember I8. Money raised for the event amounted to 360. The club plans to begin giving a senior member of the class a S100 scholar- ship. Qualifications for the one chosen includes being in Spanish class for three years and being academically qualified. Officers for the year were Paul Rodriguez, president, Kelly Monroe, vice-presi- dentg Trina Fuller, Sec.Trea- surerg and Robert McCreight, Stu-Co represen- tative. - Leah Bruce il HMMM: Junior Paul Rodriguez, Spanish Club president, pauses for a moment while speaking during a club meeting. iPhoto by Trina Fullerb WE'RE HUNGRY: Spanish Club members enjoy one another's com- pany whiie awaiting their meal at Chi Chi's. iPhoto by Trina Fullerj WAIT A MINUTE: Sophomore Wendy Grainger impatiently argues a point with sponsor Ramon Mun- guia during class time. iPhoto by Trina Fullerl 86 Spanish Club 'K

Audience takes play to ffhf 't ounds of laugh- ter filled the audi- torium at the Ellsworth Elementary School when the drama de- partment presented The Sky's The Limit, a 1960 comedy. The comedy deals with a family's mixed up mes- sages. Many situations are going on at the same time for the audience to enjoy. The 13 member cast por- trayed a present day family with three teenagers, a grandmother, and all their friends. Sunny Sky fsenior Ellen Smith! was left at home to take the family's phone mes- sages. ln getting the notes in all the wrong boxes, each member of the family re- ceived terrible news. Dan Sky fsophomore Scott Truhlarj was waiting to find out if he had received a promotiong Connie Qfresh- man Danielle Madduxj awaited news from her fianceg Ellen fsophomore Angela Gourleyj was waiting for some help with the chicken dinner, and Bob Csenior Mike Erbertj and Gramma Cfreshman Anita Foranj were waiting for an offer from a car salesman. As each family member read their messages they dis- covered that Dan was fired from his jobg Ellen was in charge of the entire dinner, Connie's fiance, Sam, left herg and Gramma received a marriage proposal. lt fthe playj had realistic characters and an easy inte- rior set, said Nancy Bowie, director. lt was funny, and I thought a small town crowd would enjoy it. Some of the cast mem- bers said they had difficulty portraying the characters. l played the part of Miss Minnie Cocker, senior Ka- ren Chinn said. l had a lot of fun with Minnie. lt was only difficult when the other characters saw me Cliarenj, not Minnie. I played Gramma, a 60 year old woman, freshman Anita Foran said. And it was hard at times because I didn't feel like an old wom- an. To me l didn't sound like an old woman either, so that made it frustrating. - Leah Bruce LOVER'S QLIARREL: Freshman Danielle Maddux fConnie Scottj accuses senior Mike Erbert QBob Turfj of being a two-timing Romeo. iPhoto by Trina Fulleri WHAT A FLIRT: Junior Kim Svaty QSylvia Simpsonj enjoys her conversa- tion with freshman Jason Kohls CAce Dawsonj. iPhoto by Kimberly Kohlsi Play 85
