FUN FANS n FOMFNI' HPOLI6'.S' Spanish Club meetings began with a big bang this year when a colorful burro was brutally beaten to provide triumphant participants with candy to crunch in class during the day. One Saturday soon afterwards, club members gathered to take part in a treasure hunt for no less than a box of choco- late-covered cherries. President Ruth Logsdon and Vice- dam President Laura Subber composed the clues and planted them in obscure places about campus after Mr. Conger had translated them into Spanish. Refreshments were enjoyed by the foot-weary hunters following the triumph of Treasurer Alan Peterson and Dan Brown. 95 L05 4 A. In January about a dozen members piled into cars and re- peated the journey to Rosarito Beach made last summer as a non-school sponsored activity. The experienced Gringos promptly renewed the friendships established last time with a fourteen member family of Mexicanos and first-time visitors were effectively introduced to the l-o-o-ng staircase, frigid water, and the rocky stretches of beach to be avoided by those brave enough to surf. Hardy footballers battled evening fog and darkness as the team range. Other members sit at the sidelines to watch the fun. headed by Eddie Silva defeated that of club secretary Skip Todd in a well-fought fight for the championship. The seven adventurers who stayed overnight found the morning fog to be an impediment to the matutinal wrestling match, but spirits remained undampened as enormous appetites were curbed by a substantial brealdast. After a slight delay in Tijuana the group staggered back into the U. S. completely exhausted and considerably the worse for wear. Mr. Conger grins at club members as he raises the pinata. Chris Barr, Dan Brown, and Ruth Logsdon inspect the proceedings at close With the supervision of Mr. Conger the club continued to prosper as programs planned and presented by various guest speak- ers served to improve both the members' Spanish and knowledge of Latin American customs and lives. A second treasure hunt and a third visit to Rosarito were also part of the club's agenda for the rest of the year. .Wampum t, V, ig '11 'n if Ritzily dressed members embark for Rosarito with warm clothes and a lot of food. Though Ed Silva seems to be concentrating on the ground it is more likely that he is planning methods to harrass his fellow ad- venturers. Imelda Ramirez takes a swing at the donkey, which by this time has literally lost its head. President Ruth Logsdon stands ready to help if Imelda wanders too far away.
