Italian Club aides needy earthquake victims of Italy By Teresa Mykytka Italian Interest members had the opportunity to get closer to Italy this year. In the past, members only made contact with the culture by selling pizza and holding their banquet in an Italian restaurant. Members this year worked diligently in collecting clothing for the victims of an earthquake which devastated Southern Italy. We felt badly about what happen to those poor people, so we got together and decided to do something about it, stated Ginger Young, Italian In- terest member. With several active members, Italian Interest wasiinvolved in numerous school events. They participated in Halloween Happenings and had a float in the Homecoming parade. Italian ln- terest joined with Italian Honor Society for many of their fund raising events. Italian Interest seeks to unify all the foreign language interest groups in Coral Park and I think we have succeeded! con- cluded Ginger.

ltalian Honor pioneers in needed study of languages BY ALlClA CORDOVA ltalian is the closest outgrowth of Latin and its im- portance should be emphasized since it is so valuable as a basis for studying other languages. To do this, ltalian Honor members assisted in language programs in the elementary schools with the objec- tive of encouraging students to study many languages. Aside from Halloween Happenings and the Homecoming Parade, they participated with community leaders in encouraging greater funding for foreign language studies. l believe it necessary to pioneer in the study of languages and l intend to put my full efforts in engendering the need in elementary school. ln this way, when a student reaches high school, he will be fully aware of the importance of language to secure better employment, stated Mrs. Joan Cormier, sponsor. ,, J, , g mum Esther Pascual and Eva Hernandez, society members, set up a tape on a recorder at an ltalian Honor meeting.
