V Dancing to Spanish music are Mrs. Ruth Colon, Club sponsor, and her pupils, who share an interest in foreign Culture. Cultures, customs of other lands stud of four clubs Any number of languages could be heard just by walking through the foreign language department after school. Four clubs were or- ganized to acquaint students with the culture of French, German, and Spanish people and studies of the Romans. Clubs used songs, dances, skits, games, and guest speakers- teaching media not available during class time-to help young linguists learn more outside the classroom. French Club visited the john Her- ron exhibit of French sculpture. German Club, the newest at North- west, had slide presentations and projects to promote German and its interest among students. While Latin Club members feasted at an authentic, traditional Roman Ban- quet, Spanish Club members at- tended a performance of Man From La Mancha and Ciro and His Flamenco Dancers at Clowes Hall. ln April, a Day of the Ameri- cas was sponsored by the Spanish Club. Guest speakers included travelers to and natives from Span- ish-speaking countries. SPANISH CLUB-FRONT ROW!
