All-Ctirl Cabinet Plans New Look for Latin Activities An all-girl cabinet headed by Ginger Mundy led Latin Clubbers to various activities. Club members enjoyed the usual affairs such as their annual Christ- mas party, banquet and trip to the Convention in Columbia. This year, these activities were a little different in some aspects. The annual Christmas party was called the Saturnalia, which is the Roman name for Christ- mas, and it took place December 14. Members who attended the banquet in April en- joyed a different type of entertainment than the usual slave auction. Latin students Ruthie Barnes and Lee Danser, in addition to other club members, presented a take-off on King Midas, the king whose touch turned every- thing to gold. Another skit presented by Joyce Mudd, Pam Fowler, and jackie Spurrier was a hilarious comparison to Laugh-ln. To round out the year, the club members journeyed to Columbia for their annual convention, where they elected state officers for next year. above: Ginger Mundy, Latin Club president, relaxes on the second floor window ledge with Karla Baker, treasurerg Dianne Davis, vice- president, and Kathleen Barnes, secretary. fright?
