The purpose of the trip was to help the club understand the people, customs, and, the language of the country. This was the first trip of its kind made by the club. In addition to making this trip, Spanish Club was very active in school projects. The annual booth for the school carnival and the putting up of displays in the halls were lust two of the many projects they participated in. This year the club also had a Christmas party styled after traditional Spanish parties. Numerous guest speakers were present to discuss tradition, prob- lems, and life in Mexico throughout the entire year. Monthly meetings were held in the afternoon of the first of each month. Presiding at these meetings were Robb Storm, president, Rhonda Hagler, vice- president, Teri Ulrich, treasurer: Robyn Washburn, secretary, and Marnie Hockman, l.C.C. representa- tive. Sponsors attending these meetings were Miss Marion Reid, Mrs. Mary Ann Lane, and Miss Linda Holt.
