Spanish Club officers: Marlene Ketner, Patty Elford, Mike Veitenhans and Mary Ellen Sweeney. P ' cldlvlf ' e This year Spanish Club was in full swing under the leader- ship of president Marlene Ketner, vice-president, Mike Veiten- hans, secretary Mary Ellen Sweeney, and treasurer, Patty Elford. The club got into the swing of things with a banquet for all members at Brad's Restaurant where the guest speaker dis- cussed the advantages of taking Spanish in high school. A major project was successfully undertaken as the club members became foster parents of Eugenio, a ten year old Pe- ruvian boy. They worked like crazy every month to send him a 1966-'67 Spanish Club foster Child Eugenio Gomez 315.00 check, clothes and toys. ln return, a very special gift was received-a letter from Eugenio in Spanish to be translated and enjoyed. It was a big project to undertake, but the Spanish club dug right in and came up with Super Cookies and Christmas cards to sell. And everyone knows that the Spanish Club raised money by having the swingingest parties ever. The whole year was filled with great projects. What a crazy. wonderful, swinging club! Spanish Club advisor Mr. Gustave Grave

As every year is different, so was this one. To start off, the Girls' Club acquired two new advisors, Mrs. Judy Gatto and Mrs. Helen Shuee. Then, instead of having the annual slumber party, a Big-Little Sister Tea was introduced. The next big event was Homecom- ing. This was a combined effort ofthe Boys' and Girls' Clubs. At Christmas time the cabinet caroled at a rest home. Then came the girl-ask-boy-affair. lt was, of course, the Tolo. General chairmen chosen for the dance were Claudia Knapp and Carol Kelly. The final event of the year for the Girls' Club was the Moth- ers' Tea. As always it was a success, as was the whole Girls' Club year.
