FRENCH CLUB Standing: Janet House, Justine Buschman, Nathalie Wills Seated: Mrs. Marjorie Kupersmith, Mrs. Anna Fischer The Cleveland College French Club was revived in 1946 by Dr. Robert Beachboard, a former assistant professor of Romance languages here. Its primary purpose is the diffusion of French culture and language among students of the college and interested men and women throughout the city. To promote this aim, the club presents two French plays every year and holds several meetings every semester. At these meetings French lectures are presented. To encourage the use of the language, only French is spoken. ENGLISH CLUB The English Club is an informal organ- ization with no definite membership, only a mailing list. Between 1934 and 1937, while Dr. W. H. Rogers was head of the English Department, the club was loosely-organized and composed mostly of English Majors. However, attendance eventually dwindled, and the club was allowed to drop. About a year later, the present reading club was initiated by Miss Mary E. Reid, Associate Professor of English. A reading program for the year is made out by mem- bers of the group. Meetings are held once a month, on Friday evenings, for discussion of the assigned book or group of books. PHILOSOPHY CLUB Encouragement of the study of philo- sophical thought as expressed by important philosophers of the past and present is the purpose of the Philosophy Club. One of its aims is the discussion of the philosophy of individual members as it relates to the problems of present-day life. Subjects range from Aristotle to the activities of the present-day college student. Government. ethics, and the enjoyment of life are studied and evaluated. In April, 1946, under the guidance of Dr. Frederick P. Harris, Assistant Professor of Philosophy, a group of Cleveland College students organized the club. Membership has increased beyond fifty. There is only one permanent ofhcer, the president. The secretarial duties rotate among the other members. All Western Reserve University students and friends, through application to Dr. Harris, are eligible to membership.

Athletic Board New to Cleveland College this year is the Student Council Athletic Board. Laying plans, organizing, and following through on an exten- sive sports program for both men and women, the Board successfully met the rising demand for extra-curricular activities. Basketball, baseball, volleyball, golf, bowling, tennis, badminton, ping pong, and swimming were among the sports offered to the student this year. Headed by Athletic Director Leonard Axelband, of the Student Council, the board is composed of two men and two women elected by the student body early in the spring semester. Edith Berg and Joanne Trotter work with Mrs. Kenneth Short of the Activities Office to pro- mote sports for women, while the male duo, Francis Drake and Robert Lang, help Director Axelband handle the men's program.
