BIENVENIDOS AMIGOS Bienvenidos Amigos or Welcome friends was the greeting received upon entering the fifth grade Spanish party. The room was decorated with gaily colored balloons, crepe paper, Mexican blankets, and sombreros. Many of the students were in costumes portraying the inhabitants of the different Span- ish countries. A globe, accentuating the Spanish countries with small flags, served to decorate a cabinet by the main entrance. A few of the girls in the class were selected to prepare the food for serving. The menu included tacos, burritos, en- chiladas, potato salad, fruit punch, pop corn, potato chips, cookies and lemon- ade. The only stipulation to getting this food was that it had to be asked for in Spanish. If the proper pronuncia- tion wasn't used, the servers weren't allowed to give the student what they asked for. The entire party was conducted in Spanish-no English was to be spoken at all. The Tijuana Trio plus 3 were requested to sing La Cucarachaf' The entire class, under the direction of Mr. Barnett, sang, Oh Where, Oh Where Has My Little Dog Gone? P Midway through the party, Mr. Ellis turned on the educational television for the daily Spanish lesson. As the teacher spoke new words and phrases, the stu- dents would repeat what she said. Mr, Ellis usually would go over what was covered, but it was eliminated due to the party. The main attraction of the after- noon's events was a treasure hunt with the girls participating against the boys. Five students from each group were selected to represent their side. Eight clues were hidden in different places for each team. One clue led to an- other, and had to be taken in consecu- tive order. The team finishing first naturally received the treasure. The winning team, the boys, found the two boxes of Cracker Jacks, serving as the treasure, and indulged in a treat with the rest of the team. At the conclusion of the treasure hunt, everyone was given a final chance to get food. Games were played for the remainder of the party. El espanol es muy interesante, gNo? Pero como ya sabe, si usted quiere escribir, leer y hablar bien esta lengua, entonces usted tiene que estudiar mucho. gVa a ser usted un alumno aplicado? Jennifer Hanway Another first for the Imperial jun- ior and Senior High was marked recently when students interested in stamp col- lecting met with Mr. Charles B. Bogart to form an Imperial Stamp Club. As co-ordinator of the new project, Mr. Bogart explained its purpose is to build a stamp collection for Imperial Schools to be exhibited in the classrooms as a visual aid, In this way students may become better acquainted with the geography and history of the countries around the world. As the students work with stamps they will gain greater knowledge of the countries. The stamps that come from the Am- bassador College Mail Receiving Depart- ment are greatly appreciated by the philatelists. By students trading stamps among themselves they are enlarging their own collections. L? 5 fi if . . fan. .5 f 'A , f ta . 'I fi A -.BN THIS COULD HAPPEN TO YOU! Alright buddy, this is a holdup! Go over there and lie down with the rest of the people! Sounds like some- thing out of the old west, doesn't it? Believe it or not, these words were spoken to me. They were not said in a joking tone, but with a voice that meant business! It was the night of March 20, 1966, the first day of spring. My sister and I were going to the drugstore. As we walked into the Cal-Oaks Pharmacy, I noticed that everything was quiet. Moving further, I was confronted by- a man holding a German lueger, who uttered, Alright buddy, this is a hold- up! Go over there and lie down with the rest of the people! Being pushed to the back of the store, I was startled to see dozens of store patrons lying everywhere! For the next twenty minutes my sister and I lay on the floor with our faces to the ground. Even though this may seem like quite a while to lie on the floor, many of the people already there had been lying on the floor for twenty minutes previously!!! Can you imagine someone staging a holdup for forty minutes? After what seemed an endless amount of time, more people came into the drugstore Cat this time the burglars had already leftj. As they walked by the aisle where we were they cast a startled glance in our direction, BUT KEPT ON WALKING!! Finally we called one of these people over and asked them if there were any men walk- ing around the store with guns. To our relief they said, UNO! To think that all I wanted was a little stamp, and yet, had to lie on the floor for twenty long minutes with my life in jeopardy before I was able to get the stamp! DOWN BY THE SEA On the sands beside the sea is the place I'd like to be. I like to take a boatride, and see the fish from inside. If you look up in the sky you can see the seagulls fly. I don't like to drink the water in the sea. Because it tastes so bad to me.

Each of two class- rooms has an ETV set in their room. By using films and other visual aids, the Educational Television programs offer a very valuable and professional addition to the classroom. Science, especially, is promoted by the time and money that can be saved on the equip- ment utilized in staging the experiments used in demonstrations. Geography seems to 'come alive' when the ocean floor or territory under study is flashed on the screen. Audio-lingual is the approach used in the conversational Spanish program. In this meth- od there is no writing or translating. The teacher speaks the words and phrases asso- ciating them with pictures portraying their meaning. Then repeats the words or phrases with the children joining in. There is much response and enthusiasm for learning being generated by this method of teaching. 00 Q ff 0 e 'fr O0 AF Q 2,66 l l l 5 , l i ri

Thanksgiving How Many Words Can You Find? There are at least 100 words that can be formed from the twelve letters in the word Thanks- giving. Consider yourself average with 30, good at 60, excellent with more than 80. Now take a sheet of paper and see how you compare with some of lmperial's third graders. Imperial Faculty And Student Body Give T A beautiful day dawned on that last Thursday in the month of November, the year 1621. This was a special day, a day set apart by the Pilgrims imme- diately after their first harvest for the purpose of giving thanks to God for their many blessings, The traditional Thanksgiving Day has remained to the present. The last Thursday of November, 1965, was thoroughly enjoyed by the students and faculty members of Imperial Schools. At four o'clock Wednesday afternoon, November 24, classes were dismissed for a four day recess. On this special day, most sat down to a table abundantly laden with foods composing the largest meal of the year. Some of the favorite foods enjoyed on Thanksgiving Day were baked turkey, deliciously seasoned dressing, baked sweet-potatoes swimming in a sea of marshmallow sauce, and homemade EQ X4 1217 ' fn VT-Q W jk, W las. . .,V,.. g ww- fe-f-MQ fr ' H: V I 'A ff. 1,3 2 l 1 Q XR -frr . an El 4 jk?

Perhaps your favorite course was the dessert of pump- kin or mince pie for' bothj topped with a heaping spoonful of whipped cream. Maybe one of the reasons for having a four day recess was to allow more time to enjoy all the food. Our day of Thanksgiving must not be restricted to just one day, but it must be observed each day of the year. ln addition to the food we all enjoy so much we must include our parents, our home, our school, our teachers, and above all, the promises for the future.
