From its beginning it has fulfilled its purpose of making the students better acquainted with life among the French people. Much beneht has been derived from the club by its members, who are striving to make the group one of the finest in Calumet. Early in 1921 another French Club Was formed under the capable supervision of Miss Wetter and was called Les Precieusesf' In the fall of 1930 a branch of the club was formed. Each club has its own set of ollicers and meets twice a month, the main club meeting third period and the branch first period. This year the outstanding achievement of the organization was the presentation of two plays, the Hrst called Before the Party and its sequel, At the Party. At both entertainments Mary Rita Smith sang French songs. Many of the faculty attended both affairs. Distinctive pins are worn by the members, who have held many social meetings in the civic room.

Ceusor 66 PTIMATESU or the best is a Htting name for any club in which membership is limited to excellent students, and the honor Latin club seems justified in selecting it for their club name. Eligibility in the clubs demands a linal mark of E or S in advanced Latin, and membership in the Optimates is a goal toward which all Latin students aspire. It means a final reward, a distinction only bestowed upon those who earnestly work for it. The Optimates were organized for this purpose by Miss Berleman and Miss Mealiff, Latin instructors. Plays in honor of Virgil were given in the classrooms, and shadow pictures from the Aeneid were enacted by members of Miss MealiHf's classes. As has been customary ever since the organization of the Optimates, a picnic was held in the spring. This event is always a most enjoyable one. Though entertainment is emphasized, the Optimates find time to compete for scholarships in Latin. Bettyann Nelson, Rosemary Nelson. Adele Fredrickson, and Milda Baronas gave many free hours to the study of Latin, in preparation for the scholarship examination. As a result Adele Fredrickson was awarded a part-scholarship to the University of Chicago. Top mir: Motschman, McClintock, Reynolds, Hughes, Skov, Kasmen, Oblingur, H.

Tl't t1S1lP'C'l' 66 L CLUB CASTILLANOI' or The Castilian Club, has been organized for the second semester. It has a membership of twenty-seven and meets the Monday of every third week. The club is composed of members of the second hour Spanish class. The faculty adviser, Miss Elsie Flersheim, does much to make this club a success. The club devotes some of the time to Spanish plays and dialogues, songs, and stories. The members also subscribe to two very good Spanish newspapers and magazines. During all the club meetings the members speak only Spanish, deriv- ing a great deal of benefit from this practice in conversation. The meetings are so conducted as to make Spanish more enjoy- able and more closely related to the everyday lives of the students. E This organization was begun by Miss Korten in the spring f semester of 1930 and was discontinued in the fall semester Vplia Gawain of the same' year when Miss Korten'transferred.' .Now it is again thriving under Miss Flershe1m's supervision. It is expected that every year at least one student from this organization will try the competitive examination in Spanish offered by the University of Chicago each spring. This year Velia Garcia competed successfully, winning a half scholarship. I I I Taj: T01l'C Ordway, Radnovic, Johnson, Fischer, Joneson, Seneclialle. Brennan. Seromf VON!!
