Red Cross officers, meet with their advisor. Vice-president, Kathy Baldwin, secretary-treasurer, Margaret Smith, advisor, Mr. David james, president, Marlene Ketner, and iirst secretary, Kathy Spadoni. Red Cross, A Traditionally Helpful Club Red Cross is a service club at Peninsula High. Under the direction of Marlene Ketner and Mr. David james, advisor, projects were carried out to help those in need of friendship. Officers like Marg Smith, Kathy Spadoni, and Kathy Baldwin, put in long hours to make this or- ganization a success, and bring more happiness to the lives of many lonely people at Madigan Hospital. Chair- man, Pat Iohnston saw to it that every month party boxes were sent to the boys there to help entertain them. The annual Red Cross Assembly was again held in November with the Senior skit coming out on top. A fea- tured presentation by the P.U. choir was a great success and gave the Class of '68 its second win in a row. Helping those in need was a large job to tackle, but Red Cross came through and took pride in sending their greeting boxes overseas. They planned out an active year, and settled down to do their share in helping the less fortunate. Attending the training course sponsored by Red Cross were Marg Smith, David Leppanen, Priscilla Hill, Pat Johnston, seen here talking with president Marlene Ketner.

Habla Espanol? Eugenio Gomez became the target project for the Spanish Club under the leadership of Scott Chunn, its president. The project consisted of adopting, a child of another country and sending him the essentials of life. As far as activities are concerned, the Spanish Club began the year with a banquet at the new Brad's smor- gasbord. Entering into the Christmas season with the right spir- it, the Spanish Club sent a record and a card to Sherri Perkins at Seattle, and as a money making project the club sold Christmas cards and candles. A Spanish Club exchange program has been the hope of every Spanish Club since it was formed, but this yearis club has made the most progression toward it. A Mexico exchange Program was started last year on a voluntary basis, and the participants came back this year and showed slides of their trip. It was a complete success. SPANISH CLUB OFFICERS: Libby Boyd, janet O,Malley, Scott Chun, Phil Serka, SPANISH CLUB REPRESENTATIVES: Rae Armstrong, Sandy Smith, Peggy Coons, Nancy jerkovich, jane Callawas, Barbra Skurdall, Laurie Dahl, Nick jerkovich, Donna Shindler.

Debate advisor, Mrs. Verna Todd. The 1967-68 Debate Team was comprised of a select group of students who held an interest in intellectual competition. Their topic this year, Resolved: That Con- gress should establish uniform regulation to control criminal investigation procedures, was thoroughly cov- ered by the team members and their advisor, Mrs. Verna Todd. The teamls knowledge of this current subject, and their ability to express this knowledge, showed up at the December meet at St. Martins, when out of 23 represent- ed schools, Scott Aspman took first place in oratory events, and Carl Ash and Scott Aspman, as debate col- leagues, took fourth place in debate. Being a fairly young team with a lot of talent and ex- perience, this yearis record was extremely impressive and left high hopes for next yearls team.
