Our club activities include reviewing books with Latin background: singing and dancing to Spanish musicg playing gamesg working puzzles: reading pen pal letters: Spanish movies, etc. Once a year we trek off in our chartered bus to a performance of famous Spanish dancers such as Jose Greco or Carmen Amaya. At Christmas, the club celebrates the an- nual Las Pasadas. The first-year students become P.A.C. members in February at an exciting initiation party where a pinata is broken. In March the newcomers return the party with a merienda. Before the year comes to a close, there must be una comida of frijoles and tortillas - and perhaps a picnic later on in the spring, but the big day for the P.A.C. is April I4, Pan- American Day. Hasta la vista mis amigos. Adios. P. A. C.

The club undertook a project at the first of the school year. They began to draw up and construct a scale model of the Fort Cherry jr. and Sr. High School. The boys, under the di- rection of Miss Campbell and Mr. Stasko, worked many hours to perfect the building and surrounding area. The project, which was per- fect in almost every respect, was displayed on Open House Night. The project was explained Open House Night by Robert Lamb, Robert Bastide, and Robert Bernhart. The E.ngineer's Club, which is a relatively new club in M.l-l.S., was sponsored by Miss june Campbell and Mr. Benjamin Stasko. The requirement of the club is that students have at least a B average in Mathematics and Science. The club is open to Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors. One of the main purposes of the club is to acquaint prospective engineers with the moral GI EEIPS CLUB and social responsibilities of entering the en- gineering profession. Citizenship and conduct are stressed over and above all academic require- ments. The members have upheld these high principles as demonstrated by the fact that they received a special letter of commendation on their attitude and behavior during the University of Pittsburgh field trip in March. The Other Side of the Desk, written by Miss June Campbell, was produced by the Future Teachers of America and the Engineer's Club. The play was written specifically for the teachers of the Fort Cherry School District. It was presented for them on February I7 in the McDonald Auditorium. The officers of the club are Robert Bas- tide, president: John McDowell, treasurer: and Robert Lamb, secretary.
