With activities that increased friendships, members worked throughout the year with car washes, bake sales, and tamale sales in order to raise funds for a study trip to the city of Monterrey, Mex- ico. Another project that aided appreciation for the Spanish culture was preparation for two one-act plays at Texas Tech University's Comparative Literature Festival.

Club Helps Returning Students Coming back to school after an absence of several years requires a wholesale reorganization that can be bewildering and frustrating. In the fall of 1975, the Mature Matriculators service club began to help returning college students adjust to the shock of the college environment. These inter- ested adults shared available helpful hints about scholarships and programs as well as mutual encouragement throughout the school season. Informal luncheons on campus each Wednesday brought guest speakers once a month. A banquet in the late spring high- lighted the year for the Mature Matri- culators. I Leading the organization to help themselves as well as others get back into the swing of college life were officers Darleen Davidson, president: Carolyn Stephenson, vice-president: Marlene Lauterdale, secretary-trea- surerg and Winona Roberts, historian.
