Because the members believed German music and German customs could be studied in greater detail in the club than from textbooks, they devoted many of their monthly meetings to the singing of Volkslieder and various modern German songs that have utilized popular tunes with an adaptation of German words. One entertaining meeting featured the modern tourist in Germany, with emphasis on the castles, their legends and those of the Rhine. Moving pictures illustrated the wonderful scenery. The tragic love of the impetuous Reinhardt and the beautiful Elizabeth was re- lived on February 13, when Die Lorelei presented the classic, Immen.wr', at the activity hour. Through the study and dramatization of Inm1w1.w'r', Die Loreleians greatly improved their own conversational German. D.C. FROM NOW ON. SCHOOL LIFE WAS ONE GRAND ROUND OF ACTIVITIES FOR

Realizing the truth of this statement, the Senior French classes banded themselves into Le Cercle Jeanne D'Arc, which strives to acquaint members with the every-day speaking language of the French people. Meetings, which are held once each month, furnish an opportunity for discus- sions of interesting phases of French history and literature, as well as existing French customs. To accomplish its objective--familiarity with conversational French- the meetings are conducted in the native French language. Minutes, also, are recorded in French. Even though refreshments are not essential for the club's activities, for every monthly gathering has its own novel entertainment, Le Cercle Jeanne D'Arc usually prepares for the Juniors a luncheon served in typical French style.

N ELLIE CURTIS NCIDENTAL to solving the intricacies of the Language of the Classics, the Cicero students have formed various social circles, ostensibly to amuse but actually to encourage a further study of the ancient tongue of Rome. To one studying Latin it is quite gratifying to human curiosity to be able to pry into a language so long considered dead. So it is with inspiring vigor that these girls satisfied that natural, if annoying, characteristic. On the first Monday of every month the members of Romani Hodierni dispensed with their regular Latin class and devoted their time to solving puzzles, interpreting cartoons, and translating stories, incidents, and anecdotes found in Auxilium Latinum, a monthly Latin publication. Roman plays, puns, games, riddles, and songs were entertaining projects. Perhaps the most interesting and favorite of all activities was the conversational Latin project. Via Median by the Reverend R. F. Gorman, a volume containing lessons and rules of syntax in Latin, fostered interest in the language and encouraged the girls to use the matter as a theme for conversation. THE SENIORS.
