Namely, to learn a little about France, the language and the people. The girls below form the backbone of the Future Business Leaders of America. Although the club was not officially formed, these girls do such things as mimeographing, typing and the stencil- ing of tests for the teachers at Burroughs. Pictured above are the Campus Christians.
