Students who were participating in third or fourth year Spanish and maintaining a 3.6 average in the language were eligible for membership. The club, under the advisorship of Mr. Stultz, strived for the creation of friendship between American stu- dents and those of Latin America. This became possible through correspondence With the Latin Americans in their native countries and through the congenial relationships with the Latin Americans in the Miami Area. thcers Davida Salles, President; Bruce Saskin, Vice President; Joyce Caplan, Secre- tary; and Jeff Breslaw, Treasurer; led the plan- ning of various activities for the year.

GERMAN HONOR Provides Opportunity to Use Linguistic Skills Among the language honoraries here at Nor- land the German Honor Society ranks high both in standards and the achievement of its goals. The stringent requirements for admis- sion limit the membership to those German students who have exhibited the best achieve- ment in their studies. With a select group such as this, the intellectually motivated club pur- sued activities that provided new experiences. Foremost among these experiences was the Visit paid by the club to the steamship Han- seatic during the second semester. Docking in Miami about four times a year, the cruise ships all-German crew and staff gave the club members an opportunity to learn hrsthand about customs and the language of Germany. Another opportunity of a different type to learn more about the people and interest points in the Rhineland was afforded the members through a lecture and slide presentation.
