SPANISH CLUB The newly formed Spanish Club under the moderation of Sister Mary Dorothy was a great success. lt was comprised almost entirely of Spanish ll students. One of the most festive activities en- ioyed by both the Spanish Club and other language clubs was the breaking of a pinata at the multi-lingual Christmas party. The officers of the club produced the masterpiece-a huge paper mache clown, filled with candy and small toys. The honor of breaking the pinata went to president Fran Pirozzola. Both of N. D.'s foreign exchange stu- dents spoke to the club and everyone benefitted from their information. At the March meeting Mrs. Stebbins surprised the members by bringing Spanish folk records and teaching songs and dances. Putting on the final touches for their Christmas Forty decorations are Elizabeth Stebbins, Maureen Minch, Sister M, Dorothy, Eileen McDowell, and Francis Pirozolla. 93 GERIVIAN CLUB German Club monthly meetings con- sisted of reports on Beer Steins and German Bingo Games.
