X .4 E . GERMAN CLUB President ---- ERNEST SIEMENS Vice President and Social Chairman - GRACE WEYAND Secretalry-Treasurer , - LI-INORA KIRSCHENMANN The German Club is one of the largest in school. Its purpose, of course, is to stimulate interest inthe language, to make class work more interesting and to bring together informally those who have German as a common interest. Under the sponsorship of Miss Finck much has been accomplished in this direction. During the meetings the members try to converse in German. At the conclusion of the business meeting they sing such favorite German songs as Die Lorelei, Du Du Liebst mir im Herzen, and Ta.nnenbaurn. A highlight of the year was a very enjoyable party held during the first emester. To intensify the German atmosphere, the refreshments were sauer kraut, wieners and buns-with pie as dessert. A standing committee of five members arranges for different activities and provides the games and refreshments for the parties. The club had many good times together and considered it a happy S and worthwhile year. PAGE TWENTY-FOUR l

First Semester Second Semester ERNEST SIEMENS President ERNEST SIEMENS Ros1E UNRUH Vice President ARTHUR WITTENBURG GLADYS BRECKENRIDGE Secretafry GRACE WEYAND The Shafter Chapter of the California Scholarship Federation which was organized last year, functioned very well this year under the leadership of Miss Finck. This year's club comprised ten members, which was a slight increase over last year's membership. Requirements for the club are high. Students have to make te11 points each quarter to keep in the society. An A counts three points and a B counts one point. Meetings are called whenever needed. The club raised enough money through pie sales to buy each member a C. S. F. pin, which he may wear during the time he is actually a member. Three conventions were held this year. The state convention was held at Watsonville, and the two district meetings were held at Taft and Porterville. Shafter was represented at all of the gatherings, by dele- gations accompanied by Miss Finck. Members of the club are Ernest Siemens, Rosie Unruh, Gladys Breckenridge, Arthur Wittenburg, Grace Weyand, Amanda Johnson, Elmer Dahl, Luella Dahl, Elnor Schierlmann, Lenora Kirschenmann, James Livers, and Violette Smith.

To be a member a student must have had two years of Spanish or be an enrolled student of a Spanish class. Although the club hasn't been so active as in other years, it has accomplished many things. The first semester the club was under the direction of Miss McCready. Under her direction the club gave a luncheon for the teachers and students of the school. The club also held a candy sale at one of the football games. During the second semester, with Miss Sullivan as adviser, the club held several pie sales, but the outstanding accomplishment of the year was a grand assembly held early in May. Mr. White, as radio announcer of the Mexican station XEMO, described a thrilling bull fight. Gregrey Malofy also starred, along with other members of the club. S The proceeds of the assembly will go to finance a party which will wind up the year for the club. Hasta Luegol PAGE TWENTY-FIVE ALZZBJ'
