The International Relations Club is extremely conscientious in what it conceives to be its scope. President Mary Jane Heyl saw to it that it included energetic participation in Political Council and at the International Confer- ence at Lehigh.

The a egre and jestivo atmo- sphere of the Spanish Club, pre- sided over by Virginia Cheyne, and its Latin dances, like those of the Italian Club, will always attract audiences.

Singing voices and accordion music issuing from Milbank on a Monday afternoon were recog- nized by the old timers as being part and parcel of Deutscher Kreis. Its tradition of good music, good food, good movies, and good conversation was car- ried on under the presidency of Winifred Bach. The French Club, led by Mar- garet McConn, secretly produced a movie and took special pride in its attempts at closer cooperation with Columbia ' s Le Cercle La- fayette.
