Spanish is spoken in a lot of
countries and the only one I
havent been to is Spain, which is
why Im striving to go there.
Dzenita Bektic (11)
1. JUST DANCE Members hold each others hands as they are taught
how to salsa on Oct 5. Everyone knew it was okay to just let loose
because no one was going to judge them, Leticia Miguel (11) said.
The dance meetings were held in the hallways. 2. GIRLS & DOLLS
Goong around on Sep. 22, Tian Chan (11) and Sarah Dabbagh (11)
measure their yarn and cut it to make worry dolls, which chase away
stress. I have no artistic ability, so we were just laughing at our dolls,
Dabbagh said. 3. FOOTLOOSE Two members, Zachery Willman (10)
and August Wilcox (10), pair up to learn how to salsa. It was fun to get
out there and do something out of the ordinary, Wilcox said. Students
were given the chance to dance with every member. 4. SIDE BY SIDE
Students show off their worry dolls by placing them next to each other.I hope they actually work, Dzenita Bektic (11) said .The students used
their creativity to make their dolls stand out. 5. DOLLING IT UP Ms.
Ana Castro (Spanish) demonstrates how to make a worry doll. Im
disappointed because I wasnt there when they made it, Leticia Miguel
(11) said. The worry dolls were meant to chase away any worry or stress
and to attract good luck. Photos by Danielle Hampton
ingualThe approximate number of
students who participate in each
language club, as estimated by
the sponsors.
The bell had rung and school was done for the day, but
the hallways were lled with salsa music. Members feet
attempted to keep the rhythm as they switched part ners.
Some members of the Spanish Club laughed at their
friends missteps as they glanced down the two lines
outside Ms. Ana Castros (Spanish) room on Oct. 5.
News of the rst club meeting of the year spread
through Facebook, yers on the walls and personal invites.
On Sep. 8, nearly every desk in room 233 was lled with
an unprecedented amount of attendees. There were now
nearly 40 members as opposed to the previous years 12.
Secretary Brooke Harness (11), who had not expected
such a turnout, was pleasantly surprised. We saw
people who didnt even take Spanish at the meeting,
Harness said.
With the boom in membership, the club planned on
having new activitiessome that had been proposed in
previous years, but never came to fruition.
Its more lively with all these people and the activities
are fun too, Hannah Oliver (11) said. One day, were
going to make a whole bunch of Spanish food in Ms.
Cashs room and were also going to tie-dye our own
shirts.
Though the unexpected increase in interest was
welcome, it also brought up the possibility of necessary
structural changes.
We might even have to divide the club since it is so
big, but we actually wont have to divide forever, Ms.
Castro said. We will let them decide so t hey have a
good time and learn about the culture while enjoying
themselves, she said.
In addition to the new activities and possible split,
the change also presented the opportunity to spread
a cultural experience to more students. No one really
thinks about how culture ts in to the club, they just think
of stereotypes, said Bridget ODaniel (12). We need
to learn more about other places because then we can
better understand ourselves, and stereotypes arent the
best way to do that.
Spanish Clubs membership surge brings salsa dancing,
worry dolls, and comida deliciosa.

Deadlines for turning in hours for
various service clubs loomed over
students heads as the year progressed.
For the members of the National Spanish
Honor Society (NSHS), this stress was
slightly relieved.
Spanish Honor Society is unique
because we dont require any service
hours, an NSHS ofcer, Jacob
Sims (12) said. But then we have
distinguished members. If they complete
10 service hours, they get benets. They
could also use these hours for other
service clubs.
Members had the option of earning
their service hours by teaching Hispanic
children basic language concepts
at Okolona Elementary every other
Thursday in a program called Head Start.
We were playing with Play-Doh one
day, and he made a little doughnut and
put his eye through it and was like Veo
te!, I see you! Sims said, recalling a
student. Its been rewarding to be able
to go out and help little kids who are
learning English as a second language.

In French Club,
pumpkin painting was
really fun. Its a nicetradition we have. I
made a Harry Potter
pumpkin.
Nikita Perumal (12)
My frst year, all the French extra-
curriculars appealed to me, as I had
taken the language since sixth grade.
I came to realize that the French Club
gave me the most insight into French
culture. The relaxing meetings always
include French ood brought by
members,- and a un activity designed to
expose us to their customs. Once I knew
this was the club I wanted to commit the
most o my time to, being the president
or two years was a bonus instead o
a hassle. I have had Madame Farman
or three years, so it was convenient to
plan the meetings with her ater class.
I also love that any level o French
students can participate and have the
same experience. I hope that the club
continues to thrive ater I graduate,
and students enjoy the un, educational
meetings or years to come.
