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.
