LANGUAGE CLUB Through the ages of history Latin has been known as the father of all languages, and through the years of this school, Latin has been the head of the family of language classes. The honor of being the oldest son in this unique family has been bestowed upon the musical Spanish language. Perhaps it is because of the proximity of the school to Mexico and the many occasions when it is necessary to speak Spanish, that it holds such great interest among the girls. The first year Span- ish class has proved to be one of the most original and interesting groups on the campus: the class is conducted entirely in Spanish. The next member of the family is the French language. The French students have been particularly interested in the history and literature of France. The class is extremely fortunate in having both teacher and students Who have traveled abroad and who can relate many interesting tales concerning the French people and their customs. Fortuna Bona! Bonne Chance! Buena Suertel-and the father and sons leave you with the words you all understand-Good Luck!

ALPHA TAU GAMMA I cannot be seen in person, but my activities are far reaching. You cannot touch me, but my presence is always felt. You cannot hear me, yet my com- mands are all obeyed. I am the spirit ot the Alpha Tau Gamma Sorority. At social gatherings no one sees me, and so I am not thankedp but who does not bless my existence subconsciously when refreshments are served? During the numerous meet- ings of the club no one gives me a thought, but without me the Sorority would surely tail. Yet it is not only l who give. In return tor my gifts I demand loyalty, aa- miration, and love. Each of my subjects has served me valiantly in these re- spects. lt is an honor to me to know that my being is respected and I rejoice every semester at the new group of girls who are willing to submit to the per- iod of pledging in order to join the others over whom I reign. Every time a song is sung in the dining room, or a spring dance performed on the lawn, I thrill to think that it is being done for me. Yea, my reward is great. I tind myself the center ot high school activities, and I have grown greatly through the efforts oi the members of the Alpha Tau Gamma Sorority. I, the spirit of A. T. G., thank those who have made my pleas- ant existence possible.

The Allegro has a most impressive initiation with spooky sheets, jungle tomtoms, and the usual paraphernalia. lt has done much to further music appre- ciation on the campus and has clone a great oleal of A Cappella singing.
