Debates with the California and Stanford Freshman debaters are engaged in under the sponsorship of Mr. Steinmetz, instructor in psychology. Mary McGinn is the president, and joe Woods, and james Hickey have been among the active members. Board of Control Infraction of the rules under the self-disciplining system at the junior College comes under the jurisdiction of the board of control. The rules concern chiefly the conduct of the students around the campus and at dances in San Mateo. In certain cases the student body cards are revoked at the bi-monthly meetings of the group. This group has not an enviable job, but it tries to decide cases for the good of the student body. 1929: Brant Bernhard, Clmiwzrzrrg Faith jordan, Kenneth Lister, t jean Crawford, Johnnie Moore. 1930: Edward Levin, Cbrzimmrrg Evelyn Gassagne, Virginia Bennett, Williani Reichel, Maury Baldwin, Frank Henrotte. no 'Q i

Gertrude Cook French lub Mademoiselle from S.M.j.C., parlez-vous? Oui? Bien entendu! Come to our French Club and you will hear how we chatter. The French Club aims to promote a 'greater interest in the language and social customs of France, and for this purpose luncheons are conducted at Chartiers, or the Perichon. It is an informal organization with no officers, and is sponsored by the French instructors, Madame Schuring and Mademoi- selle Herrington. Anyone who has taken French is invited to attend the luncheons, at which the members present French skits and musical composi- tions and the voices of the rising young Frenchmen ring out lustily in the patriotic strains of the Marseillaise. Spcznisfr Club Wfhen the Spanish padres departed from California they left, besides the Missions, an undying interest in the Spanish language and customs. In an effort to intensify this interest at our junior college the Spanish Club was formed this year. The meetings are held at luncheons, and programs con- sisting of speeches, skits, or musical numbers are presented. Preridem' ......... Clayton Hoffman Cbaiwmzzz of Entemiifizivzent ....

44 The CAMPUS 1 1930 1 CDE olay HE clatter and clang of th foon bell has hardly died away. The buildings of the campus suddenly appear to be human beehives. Out into the fresh air and warm' sunshine swarm the students of our college, hungry after a morning of toil, and ready for a little nourishment and perhaps a little recreation. From the general mass, small groups are seen to form hurriedly and emerge to leave the campus in all directions. Some are drawn together by a mutu.al desire for companionship, others by a general liking for this or that eating place, while others are inspired by common interests, such is the case with the DeMolay luncheon club. This organization is comparatively new on the campus, but one that has found much favor in the eyes of a large but limited group of De Molays. It is purely a social club, designed to furnish to members, who come from widely separated sections, but who have much in common, an opportunity to meet each other and talk over subjects of interest to all. The luncheons are held every other Monday at the Benjamin Franklin Hotel. P1'ei'ide11f.r . . . Stanley Davis, Johnnie Moore Vice-Pf'e5iflenf.s' . .
