Extracts from a recent biography were presented so entertainingly that most of the club members are anxious to read the book. Short reviews of other biographies were a part of the program. At the informal Christmas meeting games and contests were provided for the enter- tainment of members. The club librarian hopes to have a lending library with a number of new books ready to serve the reading tastes of Lincoln High School early in the new year. 151

The aim of the club is to promote a deeper interest in the German language. To be a member of the German Club one must have completed at least two years study of German. This requirement limits the membership of the club. Entertainments at the meetings, which are held on the first and third Tuesday of each month, usually consist of German songs, Word games, and the like. An old favorite is German card games. To the class of January, 1934, the club extends its heartiest congratulations and sincerest wishes for success in the future. 153
