LE CERCLE FRANCAIS, more com- monly known as the Fi-ench Club, is an or- ganization of students wishing to further their knowledge of the French language and people. Students wishing to qualify for mem- bership in this club must have a “C” average in French. During the Christmas holidays, the club cai-ed for a needy family and had a Christmas party. A weiner roast in the fall and a tobog- gan party in the winter were enjoyed by the members. An evening spent seeing motion pictures on France proved a satisfactory even- ing to the club. The club’s officers were: Robert Calhoun, president; Kathryn Carr, vice-president; Pat- ricia Dowding, secretary; and Jeanne Dowd- ing, treasurer. Miss Mabel Pinel was the French Club sponsor. THE SPANISH CLUB, sponsored by Miss Nellie Stobie, consists of those students wishing to pursue in detail the study of Spain and Mexico. Dui'ing regular club meetings, individual reports are given, and gi'oup discussions held on vai'ious phases of Spanish and Mexican life. One of the more outstanding reports greatly enjoyed by the members was given by Miss Stobie, who has visited Spain and Mexico. Dur- ing her visits she has collected many interest- ing curios. With these she vividly described the two countries. Included in the club activities were a typical Spanish Christmas party, a wiener roast last fall, and a picnic in the spring. The officers were: Alice Atkins, president; Peter Ban'era, vice-president; and Violet Nowak, secretary-ti’easurer.

THE 1939 PROSPECTUS was pub- lished by a staff of forty-two members headed by Richard DeSonia, editor-in-chief; Marion Garvey, associate editor; and Dorothy Coble, managing editor. The book itself best represents the work ac- complished by this group. To say more would be difficult. Jeanne Dowding, Virginia Bachmann, and Ethel Collins were in charge of the section de- voted to classes. Shirley Dean as club editor, aided by Shirley Dalby, Veva Coolman, and Elizabeth Schiavone, worked diligently to give accurate reports of club activities. Boys’ sports were handled by Dan La Fave, Walter Beach, Jack Benedict, and Wil- liam Carson, while the girls’ sports were cov- ered by Jeanne High and June Wagner. Alice Atkins, Betty Shayman, Ruth Lietz, and Lucille Weisse devoted their talents to the education section. Drama and fine aids were handled by Janice Williams, Donald Sammon, Margaret Brown, Kathryn Carr, and June Stephens. The pictures, as is other years, presented the most difficult problem; however, Roy Eddy, Bruce Turcotte, and Bob Coffeen aided in solving this problem satisfactorily. Barbara Jean White furnished the ideas for Mrs. Blocher’s art classes to carry out the theme of the book in drawings. Other students who aided materially in com- pleting the book were: Helen Gilbertson, Marian Popp, Yvonne Simonson, Anne Doyle, and Dorothy Beerman.
