Manchester High School realizes that there is a need for international cooperation, that understand- ing between nations comes only from learning of other people through their language and culture. It is necessary for more Americans to be bi-lingual. Ideal- ly, everyone should be able to speak at least one foreign language fluently. According to a survey sponsored for the Modern Language Association in January 1975, 56.3 per cent business men considered foreign language useful in their business, 33 per cent would pay more to persons with foreign language skills, and 60.5 per cent would give such persons preference in hiring. Manchester High School has offered this year two languages for the student: Spanish up to four years of study and French for two years. With the aid of our language laboratory stu- dents’ fluency in the language is increased. 3. Cindy Harvey, Maria Cooper, Steve Naragon, Bill Leonhard help 1.

In the fall, “La Fiesta de Iniciacion” is held to get acquainted with new members, to have fun with them, and, of course, to show them how to break “la pinata.” In December the highlight of the year is held: El Banquete.’’ Delicious, spicy food is cooked under direction of “Senora Quin- tana.” Games are played and another pinata is broken. To wind up the year “La Fiesta de Primavera” is cele- brated. During this event the Spanish club king and queen are selected. 1976-77 was a special year for the Spanish Club. They won first place in the Homecoming club float competi- tion for the fourth consecutive year. In November they traveled to Fort Wayne to attend the performance of Jose Greco and his group. They also planned to partici- pate in the Field Day Manchester College offered to area high school students.
