SPANISH CLUB or the first time in the club's history, the Spanish Club hosted its annual Christmas party for twenty primary children at the Chadborn Spanish Nlission, which is attended by Spanish-speaking people. The club served refreshments before the traditional pinata- breaking contest. Also an innovation this year, Spanish Club oper- ated two Homecoming booths, one in each gym, sell- ing sopaipillas. One of the more successful booths, the club realized a profit of fifty dollars. Other plans for the year included a Valentine's party and speakers who lectured on the Span- ish culture. 1 2 S 2 2 1 l 1 Club members heh: Mrs. Ritzman prepare piping hot sopaipillas for hungry Wasson students.

Explaining Wasson's speech program, Bill O'Rourke talks with ninth graders. FORUM CLUB esolved: that the United States should adopt uni- versal servitude. Forum clubs all over the country prepared a case and debated this issue. Wasson was no exception. The Forum Club went all over the state, competing not only in the field of debate but also in the areas of original oratory, extemporaneous speak- ing, and interpretation of drama, humor and poetry. Wasson's three speech teachers, Mr. Higgins, Mrs. Stickney, and Miss McClintock, worked closely with members to make Forum Club a success. The Homecoming Carnival saw the return of Forum Club's popular jail. For a nominal fee students could have friends and enemies locked up. However, a quick bribe to the sheriff would find a T-Bird back in circulation again. Tournaments this year were held at Regis College, Thomas Jefferson, Fort Collins, Aurora Hinkley, Chey- enne Mountain, West, and Pueblo South. At the Fort Collins meet, Dave Griesemer and Jim Gallogly won first place in the area of debate. DEBATE - LEFT TO RIGHT: Jim Gallogly, David Griesemer D II E ba k K lly McCoy, Ron Lee, , 151
