Leadership Club MEMBERS Beighley, Buchcincin, Connell, Eckles, Kinder, McMil- lan, Mengel, Mueller, Obermonn, Poundstone, Shaffer, Spicer, Wcitkins, Weise, Zcihniser, Zwinggi. During the spring semester of l9-42, Pro- fessort F. H. Sumrall called together a group of commercial students who showed qualities of leadership. They began a series of confer- ences, out of which the Leadership Club came into being. This organization is one of the quieter ones on the campus. Membership is open to Com- mercial students only. A scholarship average of C or above is the first requirement, a knowl- edge 'of the fundamentals of parliamentary procedure is a second requirement. Invitations are sent to upperclassmen who are eligible during the Fall semester and freshmen are received during the Spring services. These member-candidates, as they are called, chose subjects on which they must prepare a paper. Each year the papers are bound in a volume and placed in the club files. This year the club reorganized its constitu- tion to cope with ,changing situations. Five upperclassmen and two freshmen became member candidates. The topics for their pa- pers were on the Post-War World, discussing various problems and their relationship to lead- ership. In order that more members may get a chance to learn Parliamentary procedure, new officers are elected every six weeks. Because of this arrangement, all members are given three points toward Phi Gamma Mu. There are four officers under the new constitution- President, Vice-President, who also acts as Critic, Secretary-Treasurer, and Sergeant-at- arms. Each week a different member takes charge of the meeting. The leader for that day also presides over the business part of the meet- ing. During the first semester, each member chose her own program, but during the second semester, a committee planned a well-balanced schedule from which the leader could choose a topic to her liking. Faculty members gave very inspirational talks to the club during the second semester. Meetings during the year of I944-1945 were held on Monday afternoons at 4:30 in Founder's Hall. The club owes much of its suc- cess to the excellent guidance of F, H. Sum- rall, Head of the Commercial Department.

Christian Service League OFFICERS President ..,..........,....... Betty Hull Vice President .......,,.... Gerry I-lorkness Secretory .... ,.,....,... A lice Hollenboch Treosurer ....,.... Bob Alrich, lst semester Emily Deeter, 2nd semester The Christian Service League, one of the three Christian organizations on campus, has as its ideals: sincerity, service, sacrifice and spirituality. These four ideals are the basis of the organization, for they not only maintain what the organization is for, but what the members strive for in their lives. The membership includes active members and auxiliary members, those who feel they would like to join. The auxiliary members are inducted into active membership at an instal- lation service. This year the first service was held at Harbinson Chapel, in January, at which time six members were inducted. The meet- ings include business, worship, singing and a talk or informal discussion led by one of the members. The first activity of the year was a Hallo- we'en Party held in Burton's barn. Then in November the Christian Service League spon- sored the Nationwide Bible Reading Program in C-rove City. The Program was announced by two members in two of Grove City's largest churches. The club had charge of the first Sunday Vesper Service in January. David Rob- inson delivered the sermon. ln March the Christian Service League held a retreat at the Outing Club Cabin. Several old members, now alumni, attended. Each Sunday morning a few members go out to the C-eorge Junior Republic to hold Sunday School. This activity is not limited to members of the organization and everyone who is inter- ested in helping may do so. At Easter time the Christian Service League, in conjunction with the Y. W. C. A. and Y. M. C. A., holds an all-college Communion Service. The club also helps to sponsor Christian speakers on campus. At the end of the year, the Christian Service League brings its activities to a close by a MEMBERS Clark, Critchlow, Deeter, Doerr, Harkness, l-lollenbach, Hull, Johnson, Jones, Karper, Lemmon, Malcolm, Morrow, Potschner, Wil- shire, Wilson, Alrich, Eshler, Fink, Robinson, Williams, Dr. Edmund H.

French - Spanish Club OFFICERS President .............,..,,., Ruth Betts Vice President .... .... C laribel Oakes Secretary .... ..... M arie Presutti Treasurer . . , . .Jean Swadley This year the French and Spanish Clubs combined under the able direction of Dr. Eng- lish and Dr. Ladd. The regular monthly meet- ings held on the first Tuesday of every month in Faculty Hall featured various interesting and entertaining programs. The aim of the club meeting was to foster familiarity with the languages and an appreciation of the coun- tries and their customs. A special effort was made to maintain the separate identities of the groups in the new club by designation of two sections: The French Quarter and the Spanish Quarter. A spirit of rivalry existed be- tween the sections in their participation in the activities. MEMBERS Alund, Ambrose, Anderson, Barnum, Beighley, Ber- quist, Blasiar, Brown, Byers, Carlson, Davidson, Dayton Ellison, English, Gaus, Hanna, Hiack, Hutchins, Jahnig Karper, Kinder, Knapp, Lange, Loos, Markle, McKenna Murray, Nelson, Patton, Shawley, Short, Skillen, Snake Spoehr, Tevendale, Tomasek, Townsend, Van Dyke Walsh, Wertman, Wilshere. During the course of the year's meetings, the Spanish section would challenge the French members to equal its performances in one special type of work. Then the French section would retaliate with a like exhibition of skill. Different types of programs were presented. The members especially enjoyed the music and singing which was one of the main fea- tures. A talk on Spanish customs and one on French customs were enthusiastically received. Senor Hector Valencia, our student from Co- lumbia, lent atmosphere and materially con- tributed to the meetings. Then too, students enacted skits and directed games in both languages thereby furthering our position along the road to the ultimate goal. Page Sixty
