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.

Mrs. Maude Stew- art Beagle was the faculty sponsor, and the officers were: president, Alexander Canja; vice-president, William Faulkner; secretary, Mary Ruth Stewart; treasurer, Jack Mulhol- land; business manager, Robert Shields. At one fall meeting, a new dramatics group from Northern, called the “Footlights Club”, presented a humorous play. The annual Christmas party was given on December 21, and a comedy, “Pop Reads the Christmas Carol”, was presented. By the an- nual custom of giving Christmas baskets to the needy, two families were supplied with Christmas dinners. In the spring, the Attic Clean-Up was a clearing house for one-act plays given by this group. Also the play, “The Passing of the Third Floor Back”, was presented in Fenton. THE BELLE MASQUE CLUB consists of students interested in dramatics. Sponsored by Mrs. Helen Hardy Brown, the club’s officers were: president, Leon McNew; vice president, Roy Eddy; secretary, Marian Townsend; and treasurer, William Seigle. Among the club’s numerous activities dur- ing the year were two exchange programs with Northern High School. A dance for the cast of the Junior Play was held and also a Shakespearian tournament. The club aided the Social Studies depart- ment in producing a pageant called “Homes”. Two guest speakers during the year pre- sented enlightening talks. The speakers were Miss Bertha Creighton and Mr. Herbert Milli- ken. The Club this year has had a banquet and a theater party. Both of these activities were enjoyed by all members.
