AMERICAN VETERANS COMMITTEE Four years ago, Gilbert Harrison, a sergeant in the Army Air Corps, began writing to a group of friends, and from this correspondence sprang the Amer- ican Veterans Committee, one of the fastest growing of the new veterans, organizations. Citizens First, Veterans Second is the adopted slogan of this group which offers its members a chance to meet with other veterans of World War II. Its national membership numbers 95,000 men and women. The Cleveland College chapter was organized by Sid Silvcrberg in May, 1946. From the original twelve charter members, the local committee has grown to one hundred and twenty-six men and women veterans. As part of local and national A.V.C. campaigns, this chapter has fought for continuance of rent control and O.P.A., a raise in subsistence for student veterans, and the passage of the Wagner-Ellender-Taft Housing Bill. A hayride, a wiener roast, a bike-hike along the Youth Hostel route, and an Anniversary Dance at the Hotel Carter were on the activity calendar this year. Future meetings will bring prominent guest speakers to lecture on politics, literature, social science, and sports. A.V.C. meets on Friday evenings. Honorably discharged veterans of World War II enrolled in at least one college course are eligible for membership in this chapter. Dr. Harlan B. Roney, Associate Professor of Biology, is the faculty adviser.

Radio Club Riding Club Mary Centrackio, Dorothy Jane Clay, Ralph Orr, Jane Kinkopf, Catherine Wright As rated by its adviser, Miss Julia C. Swedenburg, the Radio Club of Cleveland College is probably the most hopeful group on the campus,', because it has such great hopes for future expansion. It was reorgan- ized this semester around a nucleus of nine members whose purpose it is to maintain radio interest and further radio knowledge in speaking and writing. To people who are interested in radio work, the club gives the opportunity to pro- duce original scripts and to express new ideas in radio production and writing. Eventually the club hopes to put on pro- ductions for civic groups and hospitals. The group meets on alternate Fridays in the upper stage room. Back Row: Robert Tuneberg, Robert Matthews, James Mc- Clelland, Ray McClelland, Cormack Quinlivan, Walter Kane Middle Row: janet Glass, Mary Samouris, Jerry Kucera, William Geib, Sally Dexter, Mary Dotchkoff Front Row: Mary Jane Carros, Mary Martin, Jean Davis, Laura Faustini, Joan Mettc, Adele Ankuda Every Sunday morning, weather permit- ting, forty or fifty students ride horseback at an East-side Academy, usually the Hill- grove. The Riding Club has no officers and collects no dues. Members pay their own rental fee. In the summer, in addi- tion to horseback riding, the members go on hayrides. Membership in the club is open to all Cleveland College students. Riders may bring to its events as many friends as they wish. Since the club usually rides on the East side, transportation is provided for West side members. The club was founded in the spring of 1946 by two Cleveland College freshmen, Bob Matthews and Corky', Quinlivan, who are still its most active members.

GERMAN CLUB Seventeen years ago the German Club was organized by its present adviser, Miss Kaethe F. Lepehne, Lecturer in German at Cleve- land College. Today the club is still active., promoting interest in the German language, literature, and culture. Social events are planned for its members throughout the year. Best known of these is the beautiful Christmas celebration. The Club also sponsors a scholarship fund for outstanding students of German. This fund, consisting of fifty dollars granted each semester to a full-time or part-time student, or sixty dollars to a part-time stu- dent for two semesters, is maintained through the presentation of German plays on the stage of Cleveland College. Mem- bership is open to all Cleveland College stu- dents possessing adequate knowledge of the German language.

Lepehne, Kathryn Duta, Olga Grill SPANISH CLUB Believing there is local need for an organ- ization of persons interested in the Spanish language, the Cleveland College Spanish Club, La Alianza Espanol, is attempting to combine Spanish Clubs of colleges in and around the city. Latin-American students have formed their own group and have at- tended these joint gatherings, at which Spanish is the only language spoken. A so- cial hour follows the formal meeting. The chief event this year was the meeting at which all Spanish Clubs and students from every country of South America were represented. Besides refreshments, dancing, and professional entertainment, the group enjoyed a guest speaker from Brazil. Im- portant in the year's activities is a Latin- American dinner usually held at a restau- rant which has a noted Spanish atmosphere.
