The club, liberal in its require- ments for membership, asks only that the mem- bers be interested in habia espanol . The group is fortunate in having as its top executive, Nico Jacobellis, an exchange student from Italy who is majoring in romantic languages. Nico, vvho teaches Latin and Italian at the Berlitz School of Languages, has been instrumental in bringing foreign speakers to attend the meetings. An outstanding success was the Spanish Club Christmas party, which featured as its speaker president Nico Jacobellis. He gave a talk on the typical European Christmas. Anxious to promote an ever constant interest in the South American way, the club has set up a program of timely lectures, movies, and discussions. Anita Peter. A I jay Betti. Elsie Jacob.

' Organized not too long after Cleveland Col- lege itself, the French Club would not be the French Club without its annual Spring drama col- laboration with La Maison Francaise. This does not imply that for the remainder of the school year they are idle, for with the teamwork of Dan Desberg, the club president, and Mr. Marcotte, the sponsor, they provide a lively program which guides their purpose of providing an opportunity for socialization and cultural advancement through the medium of the French language. While all their programs are not given in the French lan- guage, as illustrated by Dr. Hamilton ' s Paris as Seen By An American ' , the first semester French student would be quite confused with the gibber- ings before and after the meetings.

I s r Brandschutz, President The German Club, largest of the language groups, steeped in tradition through the continued assistance of Miss Kaethe F. Lepehne, advisor for the last 20 years, is singular in that they are adamant to the view that they are a language and cultural club which disallows all discussions of religion and politics. They proudly attest that the German Club had continued meetings, out- ings, and social activities during the war while all other colleges were hastily disbanding their German Clubs. They have no membership drive, but people who are interested may get in touch with the officers. A membership committee of five then investigates and recommends them, subject to the approval and vote of the other members. However, once they become a member it is noth- ing unusual to have a member remain for fifteen years— which is possible as long as they pay dues, attend meetings and are willing to serve the club.
