Clubs Latin Club HIC LATIN Cixi: is now in its seventh semester. It is one of the largest clubs of the school, but better than mere numbers is the high percentage record: for practically all students of Latin who do not work after school are members and even many of those who cannot attend give their financial and moral support. The purpose of the organization is to promote unity and social ability in the classical department. The officers have Latin titles and the pro- grams are related to the subject. Last semester the club held monthly meetings and included in its activities a party, a musical at Christmas, 'a group of varied offering, a merry meeting where nothing serious was permitted, and as a dramatic even, the moving picture, Julius Caesar. Of these the favorites proved to be the first and last, and con- sequently an experiment is being tried this term in limiting the meeting to one social function and one moving picture, Last Days of Pompeii.

Social Service Moxo the foremost clubs of Roosevelt is the Social Service Club. Its im- portance is due not to its large membership, but to its accomplishment of much good. It offers true service to those in need. The club has its get-togetheru dinners and dances, but there are side issues, the principal aim being to give aid to those who are in need of it. Last term the main project of the Club was the furnishing of the Tompkins Day Nursery, a small cottage provided by the Oakland Board of Education. It was entirely furnished by the Social Service Club. During the greater part of the term, two girls went each afternoon to the Nursery, the programs being arranged so that each couple went once every two weeks. The officers of the elub for the term of June, 1926, were: Bessie Campbell, president, Irene Castro, vice-presi- dent, Marion Hill, secretary, Margaret Seaver, treasurer, and Mrs. Helen Mus- grave, club adviser. Under their able leadership, the clnle furnished many Thanks- giving baskets to poor families, made scrap books for various hospitals, and gave a Christmas party to the Tompkins Nursery. VVith the new term of january, 1927, necessarily came new projects and plans. Although, the Nursery was still sponsored by the Club, other work was done. Several trips were made to hospitals and Homes for Feeble and Aged, where the girls entertained with songs, reading and skits. Many scrap books and toys were made for the nursery, and for Hospitals and Homes. The officers for this term were: Vera Blumann, president, Verna Strohlein, vice-president, Lois Hicks, secretary, Fleda Horning, treasurer, Mrs. Helen Musgrave, club adviser. S1'.1'fj'-79196
