A party at Christmas was T planned at which both Mexi- can and American dishes were eaten. A picnic was held in the Park later which was enjoyed by all members.

From frustration as a student to succ Spanish Il. Mr. Walters went all out in etting a Spanish teacher. He gound a real expert, Mrs. Esther Grose. Mrs. Grose was born and raised in southern Cuba. Her southern accent fsimilar to our ownl on top of her Span- ish threw off many kids for awhile. Spanish I students plunged into a Spanish world confused and very tongue-tied. Their pronunciation was uided by teeth molds contributed by various students and results came out muy bien. Spanish ll students had a brief review of grammar and went on to learn of Spanish life and customs. Discussions were mostly serious, but an air of humor filtered in now and then. Knowing there was a formal and informal way to say Shut-up was not so hard - remembering how is what brought on the problems. SSS EIS EIU actor K . .. li, 1 E.
