Los Charrochinas . Two Spanish nouns, charm and china, were the Words from which Los Charro- chinasn was derived. The charro is a typical Mexican cowboy and the china, his feminine counterpart. Because of their relationship in historic legends, the words were com- bined to form the official title of the Spanish C-lub. . Officers of the club are Dortha Jean Early, president, Margaret Jane Schell, vice- presidentg Marion Virginia Maier, secretary, and Evelyn Tovvles, treasurer. This organization was established in order to promote interest in the study of the Spanish language, and to teach more of the habits and customs of the Spanish speak- ing countries through correspondence, the observance of Pan-American Day, ban- quets, games, and lectures. Gutstanding activities for the past year have included a treasure hunt, films, the pur- chasing of a nacimiento fdepiction of the birth of Christ by small figuresj, caroling in the halls at Christmas time, lectures, picnics, and the annual banquet. The club pin, which was adopted this year for the first time, is about one-half inch in diameter, gold-plated, and trimmed in black enamel. On the face of the pin is a Spanish sombrero in gold surrounded by the Words Los Charrochinasf' embedded in a circle of b-lack enamel. From' row-J. Baldwin, R. Woodman, C. Hann, W. Duncan, O.
