Spanish students spend Christmas in Mexico As we spent Christmas suffering from the cold of Indiana winters, the Spanish students were enjoying the sunshine of Mexico. The students left from Indiana- polis with stopovers at Orlando and Mi- ami. Their plane landed in Cozumel where they went through customs. They spent three days in Merida and then flew to Cancun for four days. A favorite spot was the sugar-sand beaches in Cancun. They also visited ruins in Uxmal and Chi- chintza. It was a great way to learn a little bit more about Mexico and have a great Christmas vacation. The Spanish club was very active throughout the year. They did commer- cials in Spanish and put them on video- tapes. Their money-making project for the year was selling candles with the French club. The French club was also very active this year. They started out the year by caroling to the nursing homes in Warsaw and spreading a little Christmas cheer. They also went to see “Cyreno De Ber- gerac” at Fort Wayne. On March 20th and 21st the French club prepared a meal, it included quiche, coq au vin, rice pilaf, gateau au chocolat, mousse au cho- colat, and soupe a I’oignon. The French and Spanish clubs also took their annual trip together to Chicago.
