Students Observe Spanish Traditions The purposes of Spanish I and II are to create a better understanding among people of different nations and to stimulate a desire to be able to talk their language. Working in a pinata decorated classroom and using a tape recorder and records, SHS Spanish students so well achieve these purposes that in both 1964 and 19.65 Spanish l and II stu- dents have earned lst places at district literary rally. Students read extra-curricular simplified novels and newspapers. They study grammar from the text. They learn conversation by records and tapes. They sing in Spanish for diversion. A fun time class project is the observance of the Spanish New Year tradition of eating one grape for each month just as the clock strikes the new year. The number of grapes one can eat without inter- ruption determines the months of happiness a Spaniard will have. Bill Lodge smiles after his election as president of the Spanish Club.
