E 5 The club has visited such places as The New York Times, Peerless Printing 5 E Company, and engraving plants. This term it is planned to: visit the Wvorlcl, Ifemld Tribzme, and Peerless Printing Company.

It is under the able supervision of Miss I. Banks.

It has for its goal the study of the history and development of French literature and a comparison of this literature with that of other countries at the same period. How many of us have read La Chanson de Rolandu? How many of us knew that the chanson de geste was one of the earliest forms of French literature? How many of us know the further developments of the language and literature? - The plays of Corneillc and Racine, the beautiful fables of La Fontaine, the charming poems of Hugo and Lamartine, claim our attention and interest. Facts such as these and many more are studied and discussed, at the meetings of the French Club. We speak in French, of course, since one of our most important aims is to gain facility in the use of the language we are endeavor-ing to master. If you missed the French Club this term, cheer up! There's another term com- ing and you can join it then. 'fMrs. Lebowitz is our faculty adviser in 40th Street' Miss Fowler is the leader at f1'2nd Street. THE ALCHEMISTS The Alchemists were organized in 1927 to promote interest in science among the pupils of the fL2nd Street Annex. Mr. Oifner and Mr. Lebowitz, the faculty advisors, have assisted the club in all its activities. Students who intend to do lab- oratory work in college will find this club helpful. This term we visited the Museum of Peaceful Arts and the Electrical Exposition. And on both occasions we were permitted to examine the exhibits ourselves. Our magazine this term is going to have many scientific problems discussed. The Alchemists meet every Tuesday at 3 o'eloek in the chemistry room. The officers of the Alchemists this term are as follows: President ........................... Melvin Pick Vice-Presiclcnt . . . . . Harold Hoffman Sec1'et.rVry ........ ........ C arl Kertesz Publicity Director ............. Benjamin Eisenberfl' THE ORAL ENGLISH CLUB The seventh and eighth term English classes of the Twenty-eighth Street An- Q .J nex have organized an Oral English Club. This Club meets every Monday for the purpose of training students for public speaking and also for the purpose of having a good time in school. ' Some very interesting facts have been discussed. Historical and political, as well as humorous, topics are presented. Some of the experiences related by various members throw the club into paroxysms of laughter. The two debates on Capital Punishment and on Education and Its Values were both delightful and informational. The members advanced heated arguments in both debates and, be- lieve it or not, the students were on the verge of pugilistic action. Last 'term the club was present at the performance of Macbeth at Columbia University. The Club intends to visit many more such performances and lectures.

O'Connor in the fall of 1928. After one year of effort it has risen to a . place, second to none in enthusiasm and attendance. ' F A dark room was built by the boys and now the electrical effects should soon 3 put the Textile Camera Club in the position of photographing the pictures for all E , future editions of the LooM. . ' Some of the boys have been successful in a commercial way. Harold Black 3 sold many news pictures with a by line to the New York Daily News. Harry 5 Levinson worked as assistant to Frisedy, the most famous of all sports photograph- ers. Isadore Golub earned his summer vacation as camp photographer, and many E others too numerous to mention here have taken their camera seriously. In our E 5 new building ample space and up-to-date material will make our Club one of the 2 finest in American high schools. 3 Look to us soon to take all the photographs of Textile High School at rock E bottom prices. 2 fcQm mmWUMmEmMMMHlm EMImmHMIUlM1 m U U . - l76l E 5 E E fl E E
