A most successful initiation and acquaintance party was held, at which time the new members took the pledge which outlined some of the ideals of the club. The main interest of Le Cercle is to maintain an interest in the French language and create a spirit of friendliness and sociability among those students who are studying French. The most important event of the year was the annual dance, held April 27. [ 160 ]

Treasurer The Spanish Club enjoyed an unusually active program this year, sev- eral new and interesting features being introduced. Among these, perhaps the most successful was the “Mesa Espanola” in charge of Ligia Jimenez. One of the aims of the club is to offer those girls who are interested in Spanish an additional opportunity to speak the language. At this Spanish table, therefore, the girls had to speak Spanish or starve. Among the special features of this year were a “Twelfth Night Sup- per’, held on January 6, a party on Spanish Christmas, and a play, “‘Can- cion de Cuna’’, which was held in the PAL Hall, April 20, 1928. The events were successful not only from a social point of view, but also from the point of view of the Spanish student. The regular meetings were devoted to talks on Spanish music, drama, and literature as well as Spanish customs, traditions, holidays, and li fe in Spanish cities. Much credit for the success of the club is given to Professor Luce and Professor Onate. [ 161 ]
