EI Cervantes EL CERVANTES, so called since its establishment at Georgian Court College, was formulated to pay homage to the famous Miguel de Cer- vantes, author of the immortal Don Quixote, and to stimulate interest in all phases of Spanish literature and life. At informal monthly meetings, Spanish en- thusiasts may be heard discussing the social, political and religious problems facing our South American neighbors, or perhaps listening attcntivcly to various records of the works of outstanding Spanish artists. lf one should hear the twang of guitars, followed by a chorus of Buenas Noches, Mi Amor, there can be no doubt that the El Cervantes Quintet is entertain- ing the club, with renditions of the native songs of the various countries of the Americas. Added to the ordinary club activities of the year, the members of the Spanish Department took a great deal of delight in three major pro- jects. First, an interested group visited the Spanish Museum at 168th Street, New York City, where they were charmed and fascinated for several hours with the marvels of Old and Modern Spain. Secondly, the annual Fiesta took place in April and proved to be even bigger and better than those of former years. Cour- tiers will never forget the grace of the Spanish dance as exhibited during fiesta time at Geor- gian Court College. Probably the highlight of the year was the visit to a United Nations ses- sion at Lake Success, during the month of April. Majors and minors of the Spanish Department were thrilled to hear the marvelous discussions rendered by the various delegates on social problems in the Americas. This year's leading senoritas were: Presi- dent, Barbara Gaynorg Vice President, Ida Squatritog Secretary, Gerry Minturn, and Treas- urer, Janet Rush. Learn by listening is the motto of Spanish Club officers: Janet Rush, Treasurer, Gerry Minturn, Secretary, Ida Squalrito, Vice President, and Barbara Gaynor, President. .1 f'N'ii x i .4 U. 3? , t' M , . - ' '31 Q :if -,H J . ,,ffW5?f o-N- if J? 4 A 6 Y fx aj.
