As a spirit of interest was shown in the one-act play, this, with various musical numbers, was added to our program for the year. Several preliminary meetings were held to give the club a working basis. As our initial program was presented in the Month of Presidents, the theme of patriotism was stressed. Preceding a review of Abraham Lincoln's life and accomplishments, a poem dedicated to the great leader was read. The singing of patriotic songs then placed us in the proper mood to enjoy two scenes from Drinkwater's Abraham Lincoln. Original work was emphasized at the sec- ond meeting by the reading of stories and essays and by the presentation of an original one-act play, Bought in Paris. As one of our members is a capable cartoonist, he entertained us with trick cartooning. Other interesting meetings have been planned for the future, each of which will be developed in accordance with one theme. An innovation that we have made is the Sophomore meeting. Each mem- ber of the organization will invite one Sophomore to attend our final meeting. By thus initiating the underclassmen into an understanding of our purpose we hope to inspire them with eagerness to carry on our work in 1925. Under the guidance of our advisors, Miss Wagner and Miss Raine, and with the interest shown by the members, we hope that we have carried on as the members of last year would have wished us to do.

A working knowledge of the French language, we believe, does not consist simply in know- ing the fundamental principles of grammar and syntax. To appreciate French fully, we must obtain a more intimate glimpse of the French people, their customs and their literature. The aim of le Cercle Francais is to furnish the student of French with an opportunity to obtain this more personal view. Very fortunately, we have obtained this year a set of very fine French song books. These have enabled us to pass some time at every meeting in singing French songs. At our second meeting, we presented scenes from La Poudre aux Yeuxf' At our third meeting we enjoyed playing several very interesting French games. At the time of writing, one of our number has dramatized Victor Hugo's La Chute. We await impatiently its presentation at one of of our succeeding meetings. We also anticipate a talk on France, illustrated with stereopticon views, which Miss Bentley has promised us. Besides these things, at our final meeting we always have a dance. French students, the only way to become convinced that le Cercle Francais is a worth-while organization is to attend the meetings and nnd out. Those who are unfortunate enough not to be members will discover, upon joining. that they have been missing something both profitable and enjoyable. HENRY LOTSPEICH, '24. One hundred tzrenly-one
