Spanish Club A SPIRIT OF good will prevailed in Wasson's Spanish club, Los Conquistadores. Led by first semester officers Tina Cervantes, president, Joyce DeMora, vice-president, and Terri Grindell, secretary- treasurer, the Spanish club continued the tradition of giving a Christmas party for the children of Our Lady of Guadalupe Church. The club served cake, cookies, and punch to the children before handing out individual net Christmas stockings as presents. They also gave prizes for the games that were played. This year's plans for Homecoming included the operation of two booths. Some of the members worked in the boys' gym selling sopaipias, while the remainder of the group worked in a pinata booth selling chances to break' a pinata and get part of the candy inside. Second semester the club's officers were: Kris Berkeland, president, Terri Grindell, vice-president, and Tina Cervantes, secretary-treasurer. These officers planned to have college students from Spanish- American countries speak at meetings. Also planned were slides from Spanish-speaking countries and a dinner.

EARLY IN THE YEAR, members of the Distributive Education Club of America represented Wasson at the district conference. At this meet, students dem- onstrated their abilities in the contest divisions of advertising layout, window display, public speaking, sales demonstration, and job application. Winners in these areas were later sent to the state conference, held at the Broadmoor in March. For the first time an inter-city council was formed by students at Palmer, Mitchell, Widefield, and Wasson, members met for several casual gatherings throughout the year. Also on the informal note, members of D.E.C.A. met once each quarter at Bob's Cafe for breakfast. In keeping with tradition, a city-wide employer- employee banquet held in May rounded out a busy year for D.E.C.A.'s members. rison, Faye Brown, Dana Swanson, Sharon Gilks, Barbara publicity: Don McAtee, promotion, Lance Newcomer, presi- Dunn, George Salazar.
