SOUTH OF THE BORDER The Spanish Club, consisting of thirty members, departed for a 9 day tour on June 16 to the beauti- ful country of Mexico. Everybody, including Miss Link and Mrs. Myers, worked hard to earn money for the trip. They sold popcorn, stuffed animals, Christmas candles, and held a raffle for an afghan and a ceramic Christmas tree Many beautiful sights were seen during the trip, such as: the ancient pyramids and temples of Teotihuacan-where they ascended 200 feet to reach the top of the Pyramid of the Sun. In the vil- lage of Taxaco, they spent some time shopping in fashionable shops and in the traditional open-air markets. The tourists saw the Ballet Folklorico, a dance company that appears regularly in the Palace of Fine Arts in Mexico City. Mexico City, my favorite town, has a lot more to offer in terms of places to go, says Miss Link, it's more of a tourist town. FRONT ROW: Mrs Myers, Lori Verran, Chris Brown, Deanna Thick.
