Two elections are held each year. The first semester's election is only of seniors, While in the second election outstanding juniors as well as seniors are chosen. The basis of the selection by nine faculty members is scholarship. Every student who is to be considered must be in the upper third of his class. After this obstacle has been surmounted stand leadership, service, and character.

, X . El Cervantes This year El Cervantes, sponsored by Miss Ida Celaya, of the Spanish Department, engaged in many activities, climaxed by the Spanish-American assembly. In charge were Lorena DeSanctis, presidentg Gippy Paredes, vice-presidentg Midge Foerster, secretary, and Mary Jackson, social chair- man. During the year several meetings were held for the purpose of enter- taining and informing the members. Special speakers included Patsy O'Rielly and Daniel Armas, Guatamalan educator. The holiday season found El Cervantes members enjoying their yearly Christmas party, the highlight of which was the breaking of the pinata.'l The club held song-fests in which members learned the popular songs of Mexico and the other South American nations. Those who were inter- ested were taught folk dances, and original skits were presented during club programs. The accumulated result of all this activity was the Spanish-American Assembly in the middle of the year. It featured colorful songs and dances from south of the border, and was popularly considered one of the best assemblies of the year. For the first time, the club members were able to get gold pins this year. All in all, El Cervantes found '45-'46 one of its best and busiest years. 132
