We didn t go to Italy, but... Five first places ' on by Spanish clubbers in language festival Although Latin is not a predominant American language and is overlooked by many people, it was very alive to the 28 members of the Latin club. The Latin club started their fund-raising projects early. September 11, the group had a bake sale and later sold carnations for the Crockett football game. Throughout the year the members par- ticipated in running the concession stands at many UT football games. The members were very enthusiastic, said Mrs. Ann Cain. They even wanted to raise enough money to go to Italy. The group liked getting together, so on December 17 they had a Saturnalia, a big Roman Banquet. The students dressed up like different Roman characters, brought refreshments and had a big party. March 6 and 7 the members went to Richardson to participate in the Junior Classical League. Chris Wood placed in the top 10 in Art, and Jennifer Hamilton placed seventh in Dramatic Interpretation. Latin gives students a chance to further a wide understanding of a culture other than our own. Let ' s just say, Latin has been going strong for 1, ()()() years; English is just beginning to walk, said Mrs. Cain. Competed — that ' s what the Spanish Club did this year. February 19 and 20, the club participated in the annual Foreign Language Festival at Austin High. In the Culture Grammar portion, Patricia Johnson and Elizabeth Vallejo tied for first place. In Spelling Dictation, Ar- mando Sanchez and Elizabeth Vallejo took first in their respective levels. Genoveva Flores and Sandra Quintero tied for first in poetry. A skit performed by club members also had tremendous success and won first place. February 26 and 27, the club went to the Pan American Student Forum where they heard guest speakers, saw entertainment put on by high school students, and also went to workshops on songs and cultural differences. During the year, the club had candy sales and sold refreshments at the Foreign Language Festival to raise money for the PASF convention. I think the members enjoyed the convention most of all, com- mented president of the club, Javier Aguilera. After an all day trip sponsored by Spanish classes lo San Anionic, Brien Reid watches his step as he gets on the bus to return home. iJuniors 140
