The other of the two clubs under the guidance of Mrs. Weaver is that for second year Latin students. It is called Legio Decima. Its aim is the same as that of the French club, to give the student a better understanding of the people and country of the Romans in order to interpret their language to a better degree. To this end, reports are given on every Roman subject from funerals to feasts. The consul in charge of the meetings is Dick Habicht, pro-consul is Marjorie Meuleman, and Doris Allee has been appointed to the posi- tion of scribe. On St. Valentine's Day, the club enjoyed a pot luck dinner at the Presbyterian Church, and in the spring they plan to travel to Notre Dame and spend an afternoon viewing the campus and buildings. ,fa fin CM3 Mrs. Weaver George Fitch Bill Donley Arnold Herman Jack Ednie Dick Habicht Persis Kelley Kathryn Koenigshof Helen Mary Sachs Bob Heiney John Montgomery Barbara French Bonnie June Chain Marjorie Bowman Arlis Fairman Doris Allee Marjorie Meuleman Barbara Swartz Bette Melvin Ellen Vander-Ven Barbara Palmatier Jean Hausman Patricia Dellinger Dorothie Sherwood l29I

Phil Pierce was elected president and Bob Habicht, secretary and treas- urer. This club meets on the last school Monday of each month. These meetings are under the supervision of various members of the club and usually include the reading of a French story, a report on French cus- toms, and sometimes a French game or two, and always delicious re- freshments. In the spring this group went en masse to Notre Dame and spent an enjoyable afternoon there. The purpose of these club activities is to give the student a better background of the language by introducing him to the qualities, customs, and mannerisms of the people who speak the lan- guage. With the aid of the orchestra and Mr. Robinson a street cafe scene was presented in an assembly, featuring Pierre Le Brun and his orchestra. Songs were sung in French, short numbers were given, and the program ended with Vive la France. CMI

In addition to the regular series of entertaining and educa- tional meetings, the society also produced three original one-act plays, A Latin Lesson, by Constance Kelley, Ain't Ain't the Word for It, by Bill Strayer, and He Should Be Daid, by Phil Pierce. The proceeds from these were used to defray the costs of awards for the annual all-school creative Writing contest sponsored by this organization.
