THE REFLECTOR SCHOOL NEWS Latin Club LAST year you challenged us, Reflector! We have accepted the challenge and have fared well. We had a hard time getting people interested in our club because of its fancy name, Classica Sodal- itas”. Somehow or other, all Latin students are prone to avoid anything which has to do with Latin! The officers of the club have worked especially hard to devise inter- esting programs having to do with the home life of the Romans. Ref- erence libraries have been attacked feverishly in the hopes of finding something humorous and instructive. Our sponsor, Miss Howard, has shown a very deep interest in the activities of our club and has often taken part in the programs. Although we have had little experience in this line, we are planning to give a play, The Slave Girl”. We have had Christmas programs, plays, debates, speeches, recita- tions, and ancient games. We have about used up our supply of pro- grams, therefore we need new members with brand new ideas. Anyone taking Latin may join the club and take part. Our officers, at present, are: Maja Pfister, President; Marie Petru- chak, Vice President; Marie Gotschuis, Secretary; Morris Friedman, Treasurer. Marie Goetschuis, Secretary. Notes on Spanish Club sJHE Spanish Club, known to the Spanish students as El Circulo Castellano” met on October 15 in room 201. The purpose of the meeting was to reorganize and elect new officers. The present officers are: Stewart Luques, President; Stewart Malloy, Vice-President; Bruno Dall’Ava, Secretary; Curt Grob, Treasurer. The purpose of the Spanish Club is to promote interest in the study of Spanish and to better acquaint the students with Spanish cus- toms, literature and culture. All the affairs and business of the club are conducted in Spanish and at every meeting some sort of entertain- ment such as a playlet, a song, or game, is enjoyed by the members. Besides paying dues for a picture in the Reflector the members are contributing towards a trip to the Spanish Museum in New York City. The enrollment of the Spanish Club has been greatly increased by allow- ing 3-2 students as well as 4-Ts and 4-2’s to join. The members of the Spanish Club wish to take this medium to express their thanks and appreciation to Miss Kehl, their sponsor, for her untiring efforts in making the Spanish Club a success. Bruno Dall’Ava, Secretary. 25
