Spanish Club Adelante, siempre adelante is the Span- ish Club motto. lt means Forward, always forward. The members uphold this motto by carrying out their many and varied activi- ties. The students must maintain a first semester average of B to become a member of the club. Then they have to maintain a C average. The purpose of the club is to give the students a better understanding of the people they are studying. During homecoming the members sell paper Ieis by the dozens to raise money for the club treasury. Everyone remembers how colorful the halls looked when almost every student wore one or more of these Ieis. At the Spanish Club Christmas party, the members had the traditional pinata, a gaily decorated bag filled with goodies, suspended from the ceiling. A student was blindfolded and given a stick, then he tried to break the bag, showering the candy to the floor. During March, the Spanish Club ioined with the other language clubs to put on a very colorful display in the front hall. One of the highlights of the year was a trip to a Mexican village in St. Paul. Another active group within the Spanish Club is the Spanish band. They have played on radio pro- grams, for meetings, and for a banquet. The instruments are a guitar, two violins, and morroccos. The final event of the year is always a senior farewell banquet.

The club initiation was full of surprises Tor The unsuspecting victims who were forced To blow up balloons and Then sit on them. They also walked across The floor, using a sheet of paper Tor each Toot and moving papers one ata Time because they could not step on The Tloor. Another big event Tor The Swedish Club was The Scandinavian Spring Festival. This program was put on by The Swedish and The Norse Clubs and The Roosevelt music department. When The Scandinavian folk songs were sung most ofthe audience sang with the group. There was also folk dancing in native costumes, and there was story Telling in Norwegian and Swedish. Ot course, all Swedish Club members looked Torward to The big basketball game between the Swedes and the Nor- wegians. The Swedes, of course, do much bragging about having the better team because they have won more games than have the Norwegians. Nobody can really blame the Swedes for bragging because they are very proud ot Mr. Benson and their club.
