A cl viscr Le Petit Guignol, named after the famous Punch and Judy show in Paris, is the afternoon French Club. It has a membership of more than a hundred, drawn from both the morning and the afternoon school. The club is fortunate in having a group of talented musicians, singers, dancers, and players, who contribute to the entertainment of the members. The programs vary. The club sings many songs, both old and modern. French dances are performed and French compositions played. The whole club joins in games. The club has its own orchestra drawn from the members. Quite a tidy sum has been collected in membership fees. This will be devoted to a Christmas present to the school. An illustrated map of Paris has already been chosen, but the other gift is still to be voted on. It may take the form of a French bookshelf in the library. To the Senior Class we extend our hearty congratulations. 155

Treasurer Miss Luella Johnson All If Miss Minna Deutschberger S ii ' ' ' 1 'Sen Under the expert guidance of the joint faculty advisers, Miss Johnson and Miss Deutschberger, the French Club has had a very successful season. A French play was given which was written and ably directed by Miss Deutsch- berger. The actors were Messrs. Granovetter, Wagner, Teweles, and Litvak, and Misses Aronoff and Applebaum. A masquerade, in which all the members impersonated famous French characters, was held. During Christmas week the club is going to New York to see a French play. All in all, we have had one of the best seasons in the history of the club. We wish the class of January, 1934, a very successful future. 154

Adviser La Liga Espanola , whose membership has increased this term from sixteen to fifty, has, under the guidance of our new adviser, Mrs. Finn, enjoyed many interesting programs. We have endeavored to have both entertaining and instructive activities. Miss MacPhee in the role of a South American Indian lectured on the habits and manners of living of her people. Her talk was illustrated by photos taken during her stay in South America. There will be a Christmas party and, if possible, a trip to the Hispanic Society Museum in New York City. This will terminate what has been to us a most enjoyable time. To those members of our club who are leaving and to the entire class of January, 1934, we extend our most hearty congratulations and best wishes for a successful future. 156
