E thnic Touch Foreign clubs chat Upon entering a room in the English Building, strange sounds of people actually speaking a foreign language were detected. A quick jHola! was murmured to me by one of the members. It was then, that I realized that the Spanish Club was having their meeting. The purpose of the Spanish Club is to promote the learning of the Spanish language and to enhance interest in the Spanish people and their cul- ture, said Jeanette Maddox, sponsor of Spanish Club. The club promoted friendship and unity among students taking Spanish classes. Members par- ticipated in many activities, such as, International Night, secret pals, parties, fund raisers, and the PASF Convention. I have been involved in Spanish Club since my treshman year and I truly believe this was the best year ever, said junior Karin Kiser, president of the club. A few doors away musical German polkas were heard. Ger- man club was very active in var- ious activities. German chocolate candy sales, banquets, and con- tests were just a few of the many things members participated in. The highlight of the year for the German club was when the club performed a drama skit and went on to the state competition at the University of Texas at Austin. This dynamic play placed sixth at the contest. I was very proud of the cast of The Visit , said James Bran- denburg, sponsor of German club.

I n Touch Office ed heads toward future Business Profe ssionals ot America is the new name that will be replacing Office Educa- tion Association, said Sharon Solanik, sponsor of B.P.A. and teacher of Word Processing. The new image was unveiled at the club ' s convention and contest in Arlington during March 10-12. Business Professionals of America ' s main goals were to teach members leadership, or- ganization, interest in the Amer- ican business systems, and com- petency in office occupations. B.P.A. helped students learn to organize their time to fit in with their studies, work, and extra- curricular activities without one hurting the other, said Solanik. Careers in business or computers were what most club members were aiming for. Most of my students go on to college after their four years, around 75 to 80 percent go into computer related fields, said Solanik. Club members took home awards in both regional and state contests. I was very proud of the members who participated in the competitions, seniors Julie Gardner, Michelle Leavell, Pat- rick O ' Hara, and Craig Baker went on to the state level, said Solanik. Craig Baker placed first at state in the Administrative Assistant I category and Julie Gardner took second place at state and fourth at the national level in the Administrative As- sistant II contest. The national competition was held in Lex- ington, Kentucky on April 30, 1988. This year ' s club was very successful, said Solanik.
