C L U B S 97 THE LATIN CLUB If suddenly, like a flash of lightning, there should appear on the campus, seventy tunic and toga-clad Romans, would your hair stand on end and your voice stick to the roof ] your mouth, ' ' as did that ol Aeneas when he heard the voice from the ghost of Ploydorus. Yes, perhaps, hut hrevi tempi ire, these Romans revealed themselves to he merely Latin students attending their annual Roman banquet. Here they defied modern conventions by reclining as they partook of food with their fingers. The dinner was served in true Roman fashion ah avo usfue ad mala, omitting nothing, not even the pig on the platter, nor the choos- ing of the king of drinking. The wreathing of the wine howl ceremony was one of the out- standing features of the affair. An offering was poured in honor of the gods and all drank the wine which was in reality punch. Following the feast, the guests were entertained by singers, dancers, poets and actors. The banquet is not the only event sponsored by the Contio; programs of varied interest were given throughout the term. The three most out- standing were: a talk by Miss Edna Jones of the art department on her trip around the world, which held the interest of the members for two meetings ; an amateur nite program which displayed the talents of the members; and a program sponsored by the Virgil class, presenting as oik. ' member a I Animus and Thisbe skit. The officers who carried on this successful term were: Virginia Stockwell, consul; Bob Swanburg, praetor; Peggy Laney, censor; Jack Hastings, quaestor; and Stanley Larson, centurio. THE GERMAN CLUB Das Deutsche Verein was organized twenty-two years ago in the dim past of 1914. It suffered an unfortunate setback due to the war. However, the club was revived four years ago, to reinstate itself in the position of one of Manual ' s outstanding organizations. The members of the club, directed by Mr. Reed, the student-teacher from I ' . ST., enthusiastically learned to sinn more than ten folk songs. Mr. Ilolz. assistant faculty sponsor, also aided greatly with the singing. A competent cabinet consisting of Kimball Moore, president; Nor- man Weigman, hoys ' vice-president; Elsie Goerisch, girls ' vice-president; Rose Tomita, secretary; Charles Savage, treasurer; and Betty llaidu. hostess; cooperated with Mrs. Goodwin, the energetic faculty sponsor, to complete an outstanding term in the study of the German people ami lan- guage.
