499178 LE CERCLE FRANCAIS Bon jourgln these years of uncer- tainty between nations, what could be a better way to become Friendly with our European neighbors than to learn to spealc their languages? What could be more enjoyable than an alternoon watch- ing French movies, listening to people speaking about France, playing French games, or exploring the past ol France in museums - all while increasing French vocabulary and improving accent? The meetings were conducted completely en Francais, and although it must be ad- mitted that there was not quite as much chatting in Ule cercle lrancaisn as in other clubs, any amount ol conversation in the language oF France was ol profit to the pupil. This club was certainly an enjoyable supplement to academic classworlc and an aid to the members' success this year. Ji President . . . . Lucie Adam Vice-President . . . . Sally Lord Secretary . . .
