According to the society ' s sponsor, Mrs. Jill Nunez-Ma- son, students must have had an overall C+ average, a B or better average in Spanish, have an outstanding conduct re- cord in order to be selected for member- ship. Chosen students participated in a formal initiation that included the lighting of candles and the repeating of an oath. Throughout the year, the Spanish Honor Society participated in activities such as hearing guest speakers and dining in Spanish restaurants. The society also held an annual Christmas party at which a Pinata and other Spanish related gifts were raffled off. Refreshments were also served. Officers for the club included Presi- dent, Paul Raines; Vice President, Lynn Finley; Secretary-Treasurer, Bill Lam- bert; and Chaplain Patricia Saker. According to Starr Barron, It ' s an honor to be a member of a club, the caliber of the Spanish Honor Society. Their participation was outstanding this year. Students with an A or B average who are enrolled in upper level French courses, third year and above, may be selected to become members of the French Honor Society. Activities for the Society include eating at French restau- rants and visiting French bakeries. The French Honor Society also enjoys con- versing in French and learning about french customs of the past and modern day practices. Members of the Society appreciate the opportunity that they have to learn about and understand an- other culture. F.H.S. :£ LEFT TO RIGHT: Mario Levis, Chandra Stephens, Paul Raines, Li!

The Woodward debate program ' s ex- tensive recruiting four years ago cumulat- ed this year The team, led by senior members, Marc Bessho, Paul Raines, and Rex Reeves, reached heights never be- fore achieved by a Woodvward Academy Debate Team. The members fought to a region championship and placed in the State. Outstanding affirmative debater for the team was Paul Raines, while out- standing negative debaters were Marc Bessho and Rex Reeves. Besides being outstanding debaters the team members were also successful in individual events. Rex Reeves captured several championships in extemporane- ous speaking while Bessho, Raines, and Frank Gomez placed in the same compe- tition. Warren Smith excelled in original oratory. Under the knowledgeable guidance of Mrs. Cleo Hudson, this year ' s debate group matched the record of Woodweird Academy ' s championship team of 1969. I think this group of men has demon- strated the kind of spirit and dedication necessary to win a region championship. said Mrs. Hudson.
