throughout Missouri, Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, Wyoming, and Arkansas. Local and campus performances and an April trip to Kansas City, Kansas, brought the year to a close. President and five year member Mark Brown, looking back on the year, said, "We were a young chorus, but, we have a lot of good voices. Look for a big sound in the future." Plans for a summer European tour were also in the chorus' future. The group was scheduled to perform in Germany, Poland, Hungary, Switzerland, Austria, Italy, and France. The Spanish Club offered an open invitation to both North American and Latin American students to intermix and share their cultures with one another. Lilliam Quiros, the club president, said that having the Spanish Club at Harding was "like having a little bit of your country here:' Club secretary, Maribel Almendarez felt that the greatest benefit of the club was that "it allowed the Latin American students to get to know more about each other's culture which they could in turn share with the English students." In addition to social interaction, the club sponsored a variety of other activities. Past activities included Halloween masquerade parties and culture-sharing Christmas dinners. One of the most memorable events was the Saturday morning sunrise devotionals on the front lawn. Sophomore member, Lina Martinez, commented that the club was more "a departmental club than a social club, which explained why we don't have a constant flow of activities:' However, the club was also actively involved in the activities sponsored by Campus Ministry for the international students. The Petit Jean light shone brightly from the second floor office in the Student Center. More than symbolizing many late-night deadlines, it represented the perseverance which was present in the production of the school's yearbook. It was a perseverance lauded in the awards which the publication received at the Arkansas College Publications Association. Among various awards for design and presentation the Petit Jean received the All-American rating by ACPA for 27 consecutive years. The work got done and deadlines were met, but not without a great deal of stress and silly moments. "There was a good balance between the fun times and the serious work times," commented Sharon Bowles, sports section editor. "Without a little silliness sometimes the tension becomes unbearable and that wouldn't be worth the effort:' "Fun!" Evidently the members of the Jazz Band agreed on something: they were out to have the best year ever. Led by Warren Casey, the Jazz Band continued in its fame, even though nothing seemed to top last year's hit, "Rock Me Dr. Ganus:'! The Jazz Band's main job was the usual: at least two chapel programs and performing during Spring Sing. All of the members began working with the Spring Sing hosts and hostesses early in the spring semester preparing for the big show. They also did back-up for clubs that did not have their own accompaniment, which definitely added to the practice time Spring Sing normally required. They also had plans to make a video of their show to send to Walt Disney World. Who knows.. . The Jazz Band might become famous? 0 Jazz Band Jazz Band.
