A Spanish Club under different names has existed here for many years. Some remember El Ocotillo, and records show that Las Dos Americas was started under the supervision of Miss Dorothy Vidas in 1948. This remained as a single language club until 1951-52 when, under the supervision of Mrs. Ruth Warner, it became a three languaged society- French, Latin and Spanish, called the Foreign Language Society, each initial letter standing for its respective language. Under the direction of the president in 1951-52, Tonie Munoz, who succeeded Patsy Chumbley, president in 1950-51, a new constitution was written, using the constitution of Las Dos Americas as the base. The fifty-one students who signed the new constitution in the first semester of 1951-52 fare-considered charter members of the F.L.S. According to the new constitution, the purpose of this society is represented by the pledge which is to be repeated by new members at initiation: I Cor wej as a member Cor membersj of the Foreign Language Society do promise to strive for a better appreciation of other countries, their people, and customsg to promote friendship with othersg to develop social trainingg to engage in a practical use of foreign lan- guages and to learn self-government - to the best of my Cor ourb ability. Under the activity program of the F.L.S., a float was prepared for the Homecoming Parade in October. In November a -birthday party with a pinata was held in honor of Eugene Ross, Edgar Price and Mrs. Warner. In early December, the F.L.S. started a new custom of a semi-formal dance which was exclusively for members and their in- vited guests. The last week before Christmas vacation the F.L.S. planned and carried out at Christmas caroling program. Plans for the spring semester include a hav ride and another semi-formal dance. BO

The purpose of CSF is to foster a higher standard of scholarship and broader ideals of service on the part of the students of Palo Verde High School. The local chapter of The California Scholarship Federation was founded in January of 1942 and we now have thirty-eight students enrolled. Our activities include an annual trip to some educational point of interest. Last year we went to San Diego and visited Balboa lfark. We also sponsor parties and dances, and in the Spring we give a Silver Tea for the Faculty and our Parents. 79
