NATIGNAL SPANISH HGNGR SGCIETY Because of its plans for a trip to Mex- ico during spring vacation this year, the Spanish National Honor Society was in a whirl of planning and anticipation. The undertaking demanded a coordinated effort by all members in countless proj- ects to raise funds for the trip. The ven- ture required president Richard Mosca, vice-president Margaret Connell, secre- tary Alyce Johnson, and treasurer Pamela Hahn to be busier than club officers are sometimes apt to be. Their efforts proved at least one thing: pupils who obtain scholastic honors can also be successful in social and business activities. The soci- ety is most grateful to its advisor Miss Pratt and all its other friends for their assistance in helping it to meet an un- precedented challenge.
