LOS TERTULIANOS Los Tertulianos is one of the large and active foreign language clubs at Central. Among other things the primary purpose is to try to motivate an interest in the foreign language department and the vital importance of learning such a language in an attempt to bring us closer to our neighbors, thus improving our international relationships.

The membership is open to all French students and the meetings, which emphasize French customs, manners, and history, are held the first and third Tuesdays of each month. Films and talks improve the students’ interest in. not only France, hut all foreign countries as well. Celebrating of all French holidays, especially the Mardi Gras. Poisson IVAvril. and Noel, affords the members much pleasure. From 1956-57 the club sponsored a small French school in Brittany, for which they received a memorial certificate from FNESCO. Initiating and promoting the A.F.S. program was the heart of the club’s activities for the years Central participated in the program. OFFICERS C. Herndon, S. Thurman. R. IMiraHenicid. It. Walton, M.

AQUILIFERI Since Aquiliferi means Kagle-bearers. the mem-Imts of this dull feel that they upheld Central’s eagle well this year when they sold 1,971 chocolate bars to raise money for the school. The purpose of the club is to offer an opportunity for l-atin students to enjoy plays, songs, pictures, and games, based upon Roman customs, mythology, and history. The candidates for office appear in the Roman Forum” (Room 1221, clad in a toga, and make their campaign speeches in Latin. Other programs include quiz programs and musical numbers, often tape- recorded: special Halloween. Thanksgiving. Christmas, and Valentine — the latter starring Venus and Cupid: a Roman Birthday party; and a senior farewell. Near the end of the year, pins are awarded to the highest ranking Latin students, and certificates of merit are presented to all who have maintained an F. average. The high point of the year’s activities is attendance at regional and state conventions of the Junior Classical league, a national organization of students interested in classical studies, of which Aquiliferi is a chapter.
