Clubs Explore Customs Sion's abundance of foreign language students produced three active clubs in ’81-’82. The enthusi- asm of the Spanish Club members was shown through their involvement in activities; for example, many of the members attended a Mexican Spanish mass held at the school in the spring for the Sion student body and Rockhurst Spanish students. Senior members recited poetry and won a prize for originality in the skit they presented at William Jewell College for an Hispanic holiday. The Latin Club returned for the first time in years to show their zeal. Each member paid dues in order that the club could have membership in the junior division of the American Classical League. Club membership also enabled Latin II students to attend the state convention in Columbia in May. For their celebration of the infamous Ides of March the club initiated new Latin students into the mysteries of the day. Later the group decorated Easter eggs and de- livered them to Seton Center as a service project. The members of the French Club introduced Sion students to the wonder of croissants at a breakfast in February. They also sponsored a movie for all French students and a spring songfest. Shelley Col- lier, president, remarked, “I really enjoyed the club. There are so many people that at times we need to be more organized, but otherwise it is great!” 38 Language Clubs
