German Club-lt you happen to be wandering through the halls some Tuesday alter school and hear strains olf A'Die Loreleiu or Wien', drifting out or Room 212. you will know that the German Club is in session and its members are probably munching Pfeif- liernuesseu or some other German cookie and are having their usual hgemuetlich time. The aim ol' Der Deutsche Yereinv is two-fold: to increase the students' knowledge of the German people, their country. and customs: and to give an opportunity for additional practice in speaking. To become a member ol' the club, while in First year German, the stu- dent must have at least a ll average and pass a test on parliamentary phrases used throughout the meetings. In addition, an original initiation is planned each time. Two of the outstanding meetings ol' the year were those at Christmas and Easter. Frau Doktor Iohnson, a native German, entertained the group with an account ol' a German Christmas. An Easter church service, conducted in German. made the March meeting very unique. Bert Maiers, the minister, greeted members ol' the congregation as they lelit, thus adding to the realism of the scene. Peter Stern, a German born student, showed lilms, made while visiting Germany. France, and other European countries. to both Iirench and German clubs. German food, always an in- teresting subject, was the topic of another speaker, llerr Hofer, an Aus- trian born baker. A trip to the Art lnstitute was planned and a picnic followed. The Sprechstunde, a German con- versational group, meeting each Thurs- day during second lunch period, is a select group ol' live, who with Miss Denison, the adviser, get together to make better use of their vocabulary. At each meeting a certain topic, de- cided upon at the preceding meeting, is discussed. One of the longer Ger- man words learned was Uder Selbstan- schlussliernsprecherii which, translated, means dial telephone. The Sprech- stunde, functioning in conjunction with the Verein. is open to all students, Election of orhcers was made more interesting this year by having the candidates give campaign speeches for each other. Die neuen Fruehlings- olhziere sind: Praesidentin, Gloria Thorsong Vize Praesident, Roger Schoeningg Schriftfueherin, Loraine Zimmermann: und Schatzmeister, Norman Schoening. Latin Club-The members of Latin Club enjoyed a variety oli interesting activities this year. The fall semester will be remembered for the enjoyable talks on colleges and the problems of college girls. Aside from these discus- sions and the customary heated debates on important national issues, such as compulsory military training and what to do with ltaly after the war, a new sphere of study was introduced. This was the plan to study Italy, its art and its music. Records of ltaly's fore- most musicians' works were played: slides picturing ltaly were shown. lt might be added that these excellent meetings were appreciated.

The last weeks of March were very significant for Mexico and North America. During the Mexican con- ference, plans were proposed and made concerning inter-relations. The secur- ity of nations was also discussed, along with their social, political, and econom- ic welfare. Trade pacts were also of major importance. More confer- ences of this type have been suggested to establish better relations. The rep- resentative from the United States was Cordell Hull. This spring the Spanish Club, super- vised by Miss Laird and Miss Tupper, has held many special attractions. Miss Hiscock, from West High school, spoke about her experiences in Mexico, and the life of a typical Mexican family, with whom she stayed. Elizabeth Bricker, the president of the University Spanish Club also visited the meetings, and told us of her trip to the University of Mexico. Entertaining movies were presented: 'lFriesta,', and 4'Viva Willie, and Span- ish records were played which proved eccentric but enchanting. Our own Miss Tupper told us of her fascinating adventures in Spain and South Ameri- ca concerning bull fights, soccer games and other sports, schools, movies, res- taurants. and Unight lifef, The famous mskc.

Spanish Club cabinet presented an amusing puppet show: UPeter Rabit in espanol. The Christmas party was high- lighted by the 'APinata, a special fea- ture, and movies of South America shown by Bob Parsons, Special talent was displayed by the club members in their excellent program, and clever dec- orations. The singing of Spanish songs, the business meetings conducted in Hes- panol,', and the delicious refreshments also provided for great fun and enter- tainment throughout the year. Under the fine guidance of the Spanish Club, advisers Miss Laird and Miss Tupper, this organization has a lasting value which is acquainting many students with their knowledge of a relationship with our next-door neighbors of South America. It is of great advantage to us in our present world turmoil to keep these relations close. AHORRE POR LA VICTORIA 24

Fncsr Ain AND Host:-. Xeitsme N1u'.v1'11g 011 lhe hmm' front MEDICINE Home Nursing-A course which has been recently added in XVash- burn is that ot Home Nursing. It is taught by our school nurse, Mrs. Annette lielanger, and is sponsored by the American Red Cross. The course lasts six weeks, and thirty hours are required in order to re- ceive the Home Nursing Certificate. The course is not compulsory, and Mrs. llelanger believes that the classes are more successful and that the girls learn more il, they are not compelled to take it. The marlis for the course are includegl in the gym record. The girls learn how to till hot Water bottles, apply ice bags. sterile packs, and how to make beds with patients in them. They also study the simple procedure of home care and the care of babies. First Aid+The First Aid course has only been given in VVashburn for the last few years. For the Red Cross certificate, twenty-four ses- sions are required. Most of the girls have taken Hrst aid in junior high, but this spring there are ten girls taking thc course. A certificate is re- quired to graduate, so the classes are usually composed of transfers from other schools and girls who for some reason did not take it in junior high or tailed to pass it. The course is more extensive than the one in junior high, as in VVashburn we teach the Standard course. which is for persons sixteen years or older. The tall course is taught by Miss Bowen and the spring course by Miss Thurston, as each has to teach one course a year to keep her right to teach. 1 INTERPRETERS XVashburn, with the largest foreign language departments in the city, olliers its students a two-year course in Spanl ish, French, and German and a liour- year course in Latin. l'Parlez-vous lranl cais? and Sprechen Sie Deutschiii are the first vvords taught by Nille.
