Christmas fiesta, highlight of Los Conquistadores Los Conquistadores , the Spanish Club,was a newly formed group on cam- pus with 20 members. Dr. Phyllis Mitch- ell, assistant professor of Spanish, was the club sponsor. The membership was made up of those involved and interested in Spanish. Much of the time spent in their meetings was on drawing up a constitution. The club held a Christmas fiesta with members wearing their own original Spanish costumes. They broke a pinata and scrambled for candy. Next year they hope to have special speakers and films that deal with many different aspects, customs, and cultures of the different Spanish-speaking coun- tries. Club officers were Linda Cooley, junior, president; Susan Hailey, junior, vice-president; Roberta Hoover, junior, secretary; Paul Maxwell, sophomore, treasurer; and Marsha Willoughby, junior, reporter.

Miracles evident on tour The concert choir began the year with a weekend retreat at Table Rock Lake. The retreat brought choir members to- gether for planning activities that in- cluded two tours and a concert at the local mall. The choir sang in Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa, Illinois, and Missouri. The climax of these concerts was apparent when members were healed and saw the Lord performing miracles among the church people. The spring choir trip led members to the East for concerts in Washington D.C., and New York City. Though plans for a summer European tour were turned down until 1973, other projects were considered. Several social functions were held at the home of Delbert Dugan, assistant professor of music, director. Officers of the concert choir were senior Rick Walls, president;junior Virgil lllum, vioe-president; junior Jan Berry, first semester secretary; sophomore Lindy Damron, second semester secre- tary; senior Gloria Jenkins, historian; senior Kenton Johnson, chaplain. Senior Bert Phagan was the assistant director during the second semester. Concert Choir: left to right tback rowT Ron Linz, Paul Seppala, Daniel E.
