They provided exciting and educational activities centering around Spanish as a language and as a culture. All of the members participated in the events resulting in a sensational year of ‘““broaden- ing horizons” in the area of language. The activities of the Span- ish Club were not only fun- filled, but educational as well. The club began the year by participating in the Foreign Language Olympics in early November. Also in Novem- ber, the Spanish Club enjoyed a delicious, genuine Mexican dinner at La Siesta Restau- rant while watching a video of Mexican television programs. In the beginning of Decem- ber, the Spanish Club, along with the other foreign lan- guage clubs, met after school for an international Christ- mas Party. The clubs shared Christmas Customs and sam- Jones, Christy Slock, Faith Walker, Jenifer Keitz, Joe Mahn, Laura Elliot, Jennifer Szelcheski. ee ss Broadening Horizons pled traditional foods from the various countries. It was a delectable success! In January, an exciting ski trip to Wintergreen was planned. Foreign Language Week, observed in March, was celebrated by the foreign language clubs, including the Spanish Club. Also, the Fine Arts Festival was celebrated by the Spanish Club later in the spring. To end the year with a bang, the Spanish Club planned their annual trip to Washington, D.C. This trip included a visit to the Pan- American Union and a pala- table meal at a Spanish res- taurant, not to mention a lot of fun. The President, Kline Hill, and the two sponsors, Mrs. Catina and Mrs. Thom- as along with the rest of the staff helped to make the year a success for the Spanish Club. Spanish Club Page 107

The members of the Debate and Forensics Teams have this as- set as they have continually shown year after year. Al- though technically the De- bate and Forensics Teams are separate, many of the mem- bers of one team are also on the other, often competing in several categories at each tournament. In September, the team traveled to Wake Forest to capture an overall second place award. With the winter season coming in, trips were made to Charlottesville. Longwook College and Gat- linburg, Tennessee where the Monacan Debate and Foren- sics Teams defended their 1984 title remaining third overall. At the state level, the Forensics Team displayed their outstanding oratorical abilities by placing in all but one out of eight categories while the Debate Team like- wise performed top-notch in state competition with every team member placing. The entire team worked hard all year contributing precious time to fund-raising activities necessary for the Meghan Kelly persuades the listeners as she explains her side of the argument in her debate. club to function. Cotton can- dy sales and the second annu- al computer match-up helped to cover the team’s expenses for numerous out of state competitions. In March, the team hosted Monacan’s sec- ond Reader’s Theater Night where the students had an op- portunity to display their tal- ents while entertaining fam- ily and friends.
