TABOOS The Taboos were organized in 1943 by some girls who enjoyed singing group harmony and who had fun doing it in their spare time. This year we've carried on from where they left off and feel that we have made the Taboos a closer knit unit than ever before. We've introduced some new songs such as 'gDown in Jungle Town, My Little Girli' and Down Among the Sheltering Pines. This year the Taboos played a big part in the Senior Show by furnishing background music as well as performing in front of the curtain on a few numbers. As last year, the Taboos have been the favorite source of entertainment at all school get-togethers. We hope that the six freshmen taken in the Taboos this year will help us establish our group as one of Bradford's traditions. If they have enjoyed participating in the group half as much as we have, we know that they will make every effort to do so.

THE ROMANCE LANGUAGES CLUB The Romance Languages Club is interested not only in France but in Spain and ltaly. lt is concerned with the cultural, political, and social aspects of these countries. At each French meeting the members sing the lllizrrfifftzife, France's national anthem, in honor of her rebirth. The Song of Liberation has been learned, remembering France's massacred dead, for they are not only her mourning and pride, but the light to show the road which leads to her new grandeur. We have been introduced to Spain politically and socially. lVllle. Damazy gave us a colorful picture of the country in a talk on its habits and social customs. Elena McGrath spoke to us about Buenos Aires, one of the centers of Spanish influence in South America. Mrs. Fivian presented us with a clear picture of Spain's turn to Fascism, from the civil war up to the present day. Northern Africa with its mixture of Arabian and Spanish atmosphere was discussed also. On the lighter side, French popular records were played for the purpose of showing the difference between them and our American popular songs. Highlighting the events of the year in the Romance Languages Club was a film showing the intense and excellent work of the French underground. Films of Paris with others elected shorts were also shown.
