Spanish Culture Revealed Through Club Membership in the Spanish Club, whose purpose is to stimulate interest and create an understanding between Spanish speaking nations and American nations, was open to all students who had one year or more of Spanish. The main project of the Spanish Club was the adoption of Bertha Baena Estrada, a little Mexican girl. The club went Car¬ olling and prepared a Christmas basket during December. Later in the year, members of the club presented the Span¬ ish Club play, which introduced the stu¬ dents of R. B. Worthy to some Spanish customs and traditions.
