Le Cercle Francais Fall Officers Spring Gladyce WiLLSON — President GladyCE WiLLSON John PEARCE Vice-President GLADYS RAFTER GERALDINE GaLUSHA Secretary ELSIE TALBOTT William Brooke Treasurer William Brooke Mildred Culpepper Program Viola Donkin Orlena Hawkins Social Orlena Hawkins Faculty Advisor HERBERT E. COLLINS Bonjour! and Comment allez-vous. ' ' have become very popular remarks about the campus since the formation of the Le Cercle Francais last fall. It was for the purpose of arousing interest in French as a language outside of the classroom that the club was formed. Members were entertained at semi-monthly meetings. Among the events of these reunions was a lecture concerning France, featuring Paris, illustrated by colored slides, to which others beside club mem- bers were invited. In addition a program in collaboration with French students of the high school was undertaken. Spelling matches in French, at once a delight and terror, were made a part of the informal entertainments, as were card games, and folk songs of France. To add to the interest, plays were acted by the members of Le Cercle, and the programs closed with the singing of La Marseillaise. The fact that the members have profited by this means of learning the language is easily observed by their increased ability to express themselves in French. [66]

e Officers President EDWIN Mardock Secretary -Treasurer FRANCIS MiLLIFF Faculty Advisor MARION McCart Through its affihation with the National Rifle Association, the College Rifle Club has many advantages. The club receives a supply of targets, and the members are allotted a certain amount of ammunition. Likewise national matches arc sponsored; our college team entered these several times to return with honors. More numerous, however, are the local competition matches. Engagements with the National Guard Unit here and a team f rom the College of the Pacific Rifle Club proved to be very interesting. There were thirty-six members in the club during the last semester, several of whom showed outstanding ability as marksmen. McCart coached the mem- bers who represented the College: Mardock, Corrigan. Case. Munson, Hall, O ' dell, Donkin and Milliff. Two guns are used by the club: a twenty-two calibre Springfield with telescope sight is used on the fifty-foot indoor range located in the basement of the north building, and a thirty calibre Springfield service rifle with peep or battle sight is used on the longer outdoor ranges. With additional equipment, the club expects some very active competition during the coming year. [65] i||

Q ' S V ' [ ' Silver Hoof Club Officers Earl Hill President Robert Hansen Joe Bispo Vice-President ARTHUR SIMMS Glenn Ramont Secretary-Treasurer i BEATRICE BANGS ERWIN Dann Social Chairman Faculty Advisor FREDERICK W. KNORR The Silver Hoof Club has been organized for the purpose of giving the students of Modesto Junior College a better outside knowledge of the advan- tages of the study of agriculture. The membership is composed of all those who are taking or have taken courses in agriculture. The fall semester meetings were held every other Thursday in the form of luncheons, at which time some prominent speaker was engaged to talk to the members about some branch of agriculture which might prove of interest to them. The spring semester meetings have also been in the form of luncheons. The club was especially noted for its social activities. When the Silver Hoof put anything on it was always good. The biggest social function which was attempted was a dance at Guild Hall. A large crowd came out for this and everything turned out successfully. A picnic was also given out at Smith ' s Park and here too everyone had a wonderful time. Here ' s hoping next year ' s Silver Hoof Club has as successful a year as wc have experienced this past year. m 1671
