Clark, ranch C Zlb We began the year under Mr. McNary's guidance with the following oflicers: President, Peggy Ringwall: Vice-President, George Dickinson: Secretary, Clara Leavenworth: Treasurer, Wayne Tripp. We did not have the regular course of studyi in French History as we did last year. However the one event of the year that stands out in our minds was the celebration of an old French Custom. Norman Waterbury brought a cake to school one day in February. Into this cake was baked a ring. Each person was given a piece and the one to bite into the ring was King tor Queen, as the case might bej for the day. He chose a partner and members of the French Club were made to carry their books all day and bow to them whenever they passed. George Dickinson was crowned King and Clara Leavenworth was his Queen. It was a lot of fun and some- thing we won't forget. 45
