I Fiestas and Pihatas Bring Out the Ole in Spanish Club Viva Northwestern! became the battle cry of this year ' s Spanish Club as they vigorously participated in club activities. They began their year by electing new officers. They were: Paul Reyes, president; Lydia Garcia, vice-president; Sandy Grossman, secretary; and Patryce Nogaj, treasurer. The Spanish Club was organized to achieve an understanding of the Spanish language and to become acquainted with Spanish speaking countries and their customs. They did just that as they threw several colorful fiestas and enjoyed Spanish food. They ended the year with a costume party in which Latin- American and Spanish costumes were worn. Mr. Lee Janssen, club sponsor, who has lived in Nicaragua and visited several other Latin American countries brought a Spanish flair to their meetings. Mr. Janssen showed movies on bullfighting and fiestas, gave talks about Nicaragua, and led the club in native singing and dancing at their fiestas and bi-monthly meetings. Desean algo mas? Would you like anything else? , Mr. Janssen asks LaDonna Wisner while Mary Mosqueda awaits her turn, in a restaurant skit during Spanish Club. Paul Reyes, president of the Spanish Club, goes dramatic while enlisting volunteers to help plan the Christmas fiesta. 130

Their of- ficers Lisa Slosar, President; Kathy Shippritt, Vice President; Ruth Whiteman, Secretary; and Val Smith, Treasurer; led the group in their annual Christmas project. The Cadet Teachers under the direction of Mrs. Nabring assist teachers in elementary and junior high classrooms.
