Wheaton's French Club, Les Chevaliers Fran- cais, founded in l956, has an impressive aim: to raise the general cultural level of the mem- bers. This purpose they further by studying French literature, painting, history, and even the pal-'ez Vous Francais? dance. The Club's big project this year was presenting a play, The Imaginary Invalid, entirely in French. r 4 .3 . . fl l is v gi- 1 Above, Standing, A. Longmore. First row: A. Booth, L. Straus, L.
