LA members support school Continuing to support a school in Quito, Ecuador, tutoring Spanish lan- guage students and adopting a needy family for Christmas were all part of Los Aficionados, Spanish Club's activities. Dr. Ulivarri, from the University of New Mexico, spoke to the members. Colombian educators, who were study- ing at UNM, entertained the members by singing some of their native folk songs. Offering guitar lessons Tuesdays after school to Sandia students was one proi- ect in which the members of the Spanish Club raised money. In January the members were shown Spanish films in the Theater. The annual enchilada dinner, held during February, helped members raise money to finance their proiects. ln March, worthy Spanish students were inducted into the Manolete Chapter of the National Spanish Honor Society. Highlighting the year was the annual trip to Chihuahua, Mexico, during Easter vacation. For the first time the club sponsored a nine day trip to Guada- lauara, Mexico, for the third and fourth year students. These trips provided a better understanding of the Mexican culture. Los Aficionados also contributed to the Los Amigos program. Students in this program volunteered three weeks this summer to give inoculations, medi- cine and teach hygiene in Central America.
