French Club 'TOUJOURS de I’activite” might well be the slogan of I this year's French Club, whose destiny was in ex- cellent hands this year. Elected as officers were: Lettie Ritt, President; Lynda Drum, Vice President; Pat Ferri, Secretary; and Ralph Campanella, Treasurer. A committee, headed by Anne Sverdlik, made a puppet troupe. These puppets were cast in a skit written by tal- ented members of the Cercle. (Notez bien—admission to these superb productions was included in the membership dues.) The Christmas party brought out the vocal skills of the members in a program devoted to carols and Christmas customs of the French people. As in the past during this season, they remembered “La Famille, their adopted or- phanage, which is located in Sudan, France. The French Art Theatre saw their bright and shiny faces at its February and March productions. Movies, slides, and talks by French guests rounded out a busy year. Left to right. Row I: P. Ferri, I.

THIS year, as in the past, the Latin Club, or the Carpe Diem, as the members call it, was one of our most active clubs. The Latin Club is an organization which meets together to make the study of Latin more enjoyable. Under the able leadership of Miss Winter and the club officers the members have enjoyed many varied activities. The club has had several parties, a few excursions into New York and many interesting games and speakers. Usually refresh- ments have been provided by the very able refreshment committee. The club officers are called by their Latin name; Consul, Aedile, and Scriba. Some of you might have been able to guess what they mean. The Consul compares to the presi- dent, the Aedile to the treasurer and the Scriba to the secretary. The Consul was Jeanette Pizzatola; the second Consul, Dean Birdsall; the Scriba was Leslie Dickenson; Aedile was Rae Messer, and the two program planners were Sue Houston and Barbara Berbary. Ill

Spanish Club ONE of our gaiest organizations is the Spanish Club. With Mrs. Stilger as advisor, the group planned many interesting trips. Early in the year they went to New York and saw an opera, “La Vida Breve,” and a ballet, El Amor Brujo.” Both performances were enjoyed. The Christmas party was a success this year. The pihata, a large, pottery jug, was filled with presents for everyone and Steve Zipkin and Stu Rosen presented a Spanish skit. This year Carolyn Matusiewski took top honors in a civilization contest and won a Spanish dictionary. At the closing of the year, the club took a trip to the His- panic Museum, the theater, and had dinner at a Spanish restaurant. This year the officers were: Steve Zipkin, President; Sue Kroll, Vice-President; Sue Loewey, Secretary; and Stu Rosen, Treasurer. Left to right. Row I. S. Rosen, S. Loewy, S. Kroll, S. Zipkin. Row .
