Every Meeting Is A Fiesta Every meeting was a fiesta for the Span- ish Club. There was often food to munch and when new members were initiated there were Spanish costumes, too. In April, the club celebrated Pan American Week with an assembly which featured traditional costumes, music and dancing And, it was during this week that the biggest fiesta was held on a Friday evening in the cafe- teria. There were gypsy fortune tellers, ghosts of famous Spaniards, dancing and tables of food. Spanish Club members were identified by their pins and by their red and white sweaters with the club emblem — El Toro. n March, they dressed in traditional cos- tumes once again and attended their an- nual banquet, featuring (you guessed it!) Spanish food for another fiesta.
