A Christmas program, featuring all of the festivities of los espa- no1es , was one ol the highlights of the Spanish Club during the past year. Anyone having an in- terest in the Spanish language is welcome to join the club. During this past year the membership was around thirty-five. The aim of the club is to encourage interest in the study ot the language and to pro- vide an opportunity to practice it in a social situation. Knowledge of French life and cus- toms is one ot the aims ot the French Club under the direction of Dr. Alida Degeler. Much of the French atmosphere is absorbed by members through activities and programs, and direct Contact with their homeland is made through two adopted War orphans whom they help support. The German Club meets the last Thursday in each month. Their meetings consist usually of songs, skits, and refreshments. The dues taken in by the club pays the post- age on packages which are sent to Germany. To augment their monthly meetings, the club When- ever possible goes to lectures on different phases of German cul- ture. Page Sefventy-ninz'

The aim of the club is to get some practical information concerning the business field to accompany the volumes of theory acquired in classes. Meetings are held once a month Where outside speakers are heard or movies are shown that inform the members on various subjects of their field. Also, field trips are taken to busi- ness or industrial establishments in Vlfaukesha, Milwaukee, and Chicago to get that inside in- formation . The members of the Beta Chapter of Pi Kappa Delta National For- ensic Honorary Fraternity have debated in about six intercollegi- ate tournaments this year. There are ten in the group, but the regu- lar team is composed of six active members. Besides participating in all sectional tournaments, the dy- namic debators have put on de- bates for several high school as- semblies and Rotary Clubs in this area. Formed a year ago under the qui- dance of Professor Ward L. Ray, the Student Affiliate Chapter of the American Chemical Society received its charter from the na- tional headquarters of the A. C.

0l'l0'Zd'Cy One group in which everyone gets a chance to talk is the Wis- consin Beta chapter ct Pi Kappa Delta, the national forensic fra- ternity. Membership is con- ferred on both men and women for participation in intercolle- giate debates and oratcrical contests. Mr. Eugene Moulton is faculty adviser for the group. To become a member of Sigma Tau Delta, national honorary English fraternity, an English major or minor with a two point average submits a paper to be judged by the group. Monthly meetings are held, the program being speakers, their own ingenuity, or a trip to Mil- waukee to see a production. Song of Norway gave the group a real thrill. Sigma Epsilon Sigma, the na- tional honorary scholastic tra- ternity had fifteen members this past year. Each fall sophomore women students who received the re- quired 2.5 average as freshmen are initiated into the fraternity at the annual initiation dinner. In the spring a tea is held, en- tertaining the prospective fresh- men wcmen students. The Beta chapter of the Theta Alpha Phi, honorary dramatic fraternity, once more became active on Carro11's campus after being dormant for several years. Although eight eligible students were initiated last spring, only four of them re- turned tc the campus this year. The only actual activity of the chapter this year was to hold an initiation in the early part of the second semester. We hope that next year we will see a very active group.
