Spanish Club plans activities In its second year at MHS. Spanish Club planned many ac- tivities. Among these were a skating party, a Spanish meal prepared by club members, and a field trip to the University of Kan- sas for KU Foreign Language Day. During the regular club meetings, games and folk dances were highlighted. In addition, club members received buttons which said, “Beseme, yo hablo espanol. or “Kiss me. I speak Spanish. As a special treat for the Christmas party, second year students and club officers presented a “la posada”—a tradi- tional Mexican skit depicting Mary and Joseph's search for lodging. A pinata. made by Spanish II students, was also a part of the Christmas party. When it came to class time. Spanish students were taught vocabulary, basic sentence pat- terns and simple grammar. They were, likewise, expected to under- stand the Spanish language and to be able to express themselves in the language. Also, they were ex- posed and made aware of the dif- ferent Spanish-speaking cultures. Spanish II pupils were allowed to work independently..

A.V. equipment popular in media center “Students with overdue books and magazines.” are the biggest headache of librarian Ms. Monta Saker. Saker, who has been librarian at MHS for seven years, said that teachers make a lot of use of the new A.V. equipment which in- cludes two television monitors on which films can be viewed. The fact that there are now over 300 paper and hardback books in the library and the newness of the rooms is what Saker is most proud of. She said, however, that she would like the library to be more centrally located and convenient to use. The school faculty is only human as Ms. Saker proves when she talked about one of her embar- rassing moments. She thought she had something video taped but did not check it before the class came in, and it turned out to be the wrong tape. Ms. Saker has six student librarian aids this year, five girls and one bov. Right: Freshman Jerry Stika uses his few extra minutes after a film to read a magazine.

 Expression through English skills The three MHS English teachers brought 30 years of teaching experience to their students. Mrs. Jan Longhofer taught Freshman English along with two semester courses. World Literature and Life English. Mrs. Judy Dannenfelser has taught at MHS for five years. She taught Sophomore and Senior English. Before coming to MHS, she taught at Jacksonville, Florida; and Wichita, Kansas. This was Mrs. Barbara Liv- ingston's first year as the teacher of Junior English, Speech, and Yearbook. Until coming to MHS, she taught at Garden City, Great Bend, and Chase County, where she lives. Each teacher emphasized something different. Longhofer emphasized whatever was needed for that certain class. Dan- nenfelser concentrated on Literature and grammar while Liv- ingston's students wrote one essay a week, but not because I love to grade papers, but rather they need more practice in writing,” she said.
