Spanish Club Spanish Club members foster an interest and understanding of Spanish, American literature, and civilization. Proficiency in using the Spanish lan- guage is an objective of the club, as well as promot- ing and maintaining friendly relations with Spanish people. “Hands Over the Pyrenees” was the theme for the annual Spanish Club dance. The proceeds from the dance were used in buying books and literature for the Spanish department. In order to be good neighbors to foreign people, we must make a sincere effort to know their ways and to understand them. Thomas Martin, Mary Evelyn Allen, and Charlene DeWitt look over a Spanish paper. La Socidad Espanola Mary Evelyn Allen reads Spanish aloud to the club. 67

French Club One of the ambitions of the French Club is to promote friendly relations with French speaking countries. The club members are interested in ex- panding their knowledge of the French Language, literature, and the way of life of the French people. Among the entertaining educational activities which the French Club provides for its members are the listening to French-speaking records and French games. The members of this organization are enthusiastic and take part readily in the club’s activities. On their own, these scholars prepare the programs and undertake to obtain and read good French literature. In all probability, the highlight of the school year for these French Club members is the dance which they plan and sponsor. 6S
