Es magnifico saber y aprender de este pais y esta raza tan fascinadora. Despues de haber aprendido algo acerca de los caracteristicos de esta tierra de gente alegre, comenzamos a correspondernos con los natives de Puerto Rico. Esto nos proporcionara un medio mas de placer y diversion. El alfiler del club este aiio es una torrecilla espanola con las iniciales que repre- sentan Club Espaiiol. Ademas de los asuntos del club los miembros terminaron las actividades del aiio con una noebe de gala, una noche de hades, nnisica, y canciones espanolas. Esta fiesta llevo las actividades del club de mil novecientos trienta dos al fin y esperamos que los otros estudiantes de espaiiol continuen deniostrando su interes y liaciendo este club tan intelectual, entusiasta, y agradable, conio hasta la fecha lo ha sido. ; Adios ! +[62 Bonelle Thomas S Louise Schelhorn I Glenna Brewer ( Margaret Smith I Sarah Smith Senorita Andujar

THEODORE FICKLIN LITERARY SOCIETY President BONELLE THOMAS Vice-President EDWARD HiTT Secretary-Treasurer EVELYN MORRIS Thp Theodore Ficklin Literary Society, the oldest club in the High School, was organized about twenty years ago. It was called the Alexandria High School Literary Society until about twelve years ago, when it was renamed in honor of Theodore H. Ficklin, one of the original teachers of the Public School System at its organization in January, 1871. The purpose of the club is to create interest along literary lines, such as debates, oratory, and reading, both grave and gay. The Society, this year, has focused its interest on Southern Literature. For participation in the activities of the club the members are awarded literary emblems. During the Christmas season the club had a delightful party, and the members are looking forward to another such occasion in the spring. Miss Ficklin, our sponsor, has given us many worth-while suggestions for which we are grateful. As this most successful year draws to a close, we look forward with pleasure and interest to a repetition of social and intellectual success. B. T., ’32.
